Abstract

This aim of this study was to determine the biographical influences on employee involvement and work team effectiveness. Data for the study was collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. A sample of 150 employees was drawn using the stratified random sampling. Significant differences were found with the participative decision-making sub-dimension of employee involvement and length in service. Significant differences were found with both participative decision-making and job satisfaction, and gender. No significant differences surfaced with work team effectiveness and the biographical profiles. The literature review is followed by the results of the study. The study provides a guide for organizations to rethink and find ways to reach a solution building work environment.
