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.
