Most courier companies in the country realized the importance of motivating and supporting their employees to participate in decision making process to encourage their commitment in promoting organizational performance.

Furthermore, participative management can be defined as a managerial tool to promote organizational commitment aimed to improve its performance. It is a practice that managers use as an attempt to satisfy employees and increase productivity. The main problem facing managers in a group of participatory decision making process is the extent to which they should allow employees’ to participate in making decisions which affect their work. By encouraging participatory decision making, managers are in effect decentralizing authority within their organizations. This leads to improved decision quality, increased commitment for employees to the decision outcomes which they have influenced, and, above all, it enhances their job satisfaction and motivation (Steven et al., 2013). In many organizations today, the decision making power depends on the degree of autonomy built into particular jobs.
