Background of the Study

Employee voice, the ability of employees to express opinions, ideas, and concerns, is critical for fostering a participative and innovative workplace. It improves organizational decision-making by incorporating diverse perspectives and enhancing employee commitment (Robbins & Judge, 2023). In the cement manufacturing industry, Lafarge Cement in Kwara State depends on effective decision-making to navigate operational challenges and remain competitive.

However, organizational hierarchies and communication barriers often limit employee voice, affecting decision-making and employee satisfaction. Understanding how employee voice contributes to decision-making is essential for enhancing organizational outcomes (Bello et al., 2024).

Statement of the Problem

Despite its significance, employee voice at Lafarge Cement in Kwara State is hindered by factors such as lack of communication channels, fear of retaliation, and management's reluctance to consider employee input. These issues compromise decision-making processes and overall organizational efficiency (Adamu & Musa, 2025).

This study explores the role of employee voice in improving organizational decision-making and identifies strategies for fostering a participative work environment.
