Abstract:
This paper examines the interaction between social integration as an emergent concept of quality of work life and employee commitment in Nigeria. Adopting a literary review approach. Data gathered from 320 respondents interviewed indicates that social integration is a strong predictor of employee commitment such as affective, continuance and normative commitment. Hence, we recommend that manufacturing firms should adopt policies that will orient their employees and integrate them to the culture of the organisation so as to prevent work alienation, and that structures should be designed in a manner that give employees right and access to positions and status in core institution of the organisation, as this will increase the commitment level of the employees.
