Abstract

This study critically reviews the relationship between crisis management strategies and employee commitment to Port Harcourt Rivers State work organisations. The study employed a survey framework with two objectives, and two research questions were derived. At the same time, one hypothesis was empirically formulated for the study; in total, 261 questionnaire copies were designed and apportioned to respondents of four work organisations in Port Harcourt Rivers State, of which 225 copies were filled, retrieved and deemed usable. All the data collected through the questionnaire were verified using the arithmetical method standard deviation; on the other hand, the hypotheses were subjected to test through the spearman rank order statistical calculation with the help of the SPSS software package. A careful analysis of the retrieved data and test of hypotheses, the study revealed a positive association between crises management strategies and employee commitment of work organisations in Port Harcourt, to this end, the study recommends that Management of work organisations should endeavour to always look out fort as well as prevent crises situation in their organisations; Management of work organisations should try to engage employees who are competent, committed and innovative towards the realisation of their organisations set objectives; managers of work organisations should prioritise employees training, in order for them to acquire new skills as well as develop existing ones; the study also recommend that managers of work organisations should ensure that organisation rewards are based on equity this in turn will create room for commitment, loyalty and equitability in the organisation, thereby discouraging any form of crises situation and that Management of work organisations should always employ the democratic leadership style in dealing with employees, thus helping to enhance employees participation in their affairs which in turn help to boost their level of commitment.
