Abstract: This study examines the influence of participative management approach on organisational commitment of workers in two selected public polytechnics in Ogun State. The study employed multi-stage sampling involving stratification, equal allocation and randomization to select 300 senior staff from the three workers’ unions in the Institutions. Three hypotheses were raised on which a 4-point Likert questionnaire was developed. Data collected were analysed with simple frequency and percentage while the hypotheses were tested with regression statistics at 95% confidence interval. The results show that participatory management has significant impact on the three levels of organisational commitment examined among workers of the selected polytechnics. It was concluded that participatory management approach is an effective mechanism to earn desirable level of commitment of workers in pubic polytechnics and similar organisations, and that allowing workers of different cadres and job categories to participate in decision-making leads to positive attitudinal change and dedication towards work and the institution as a whole. The study recommends, among others, that management of the polytechnics and other higher institutions should further embrace participative management approach with a view to earning the commitment of their staff.
