Abstract
is study examines employee involvement in organisational affairs as an important facet of social
sustainability in the Nigerian banking sector, because providing good customer service requires
committed employeesratherthan coerced labour. Data extracted through quantitative content analysis
from the financialreports of fifteen commercial banks were analysed using descriptive statistics, Z test,
One-way ANOVA, correlation and regression analysis techniques. e study found that employee
involvement correlates positively and significantly with organisational performance; and banks differ
in performance on the account of the level of employee involvement; firms with deeper level of
employee involvement performed better than others with shallow level of employee involvement, thus
stressing the relevance of employee involvement as an aspect ofsocialsustainability business practices.
Organisations are enjoined to involve their employees more to achieve better results; and embrace the
modern philosophy of regarding employees as strategic resources that can be used to bolster core
competence.
