The survey research design was used. The population of the study comprised, 3864 SMEs. Stratified and purposive sampling techniques were used to select the participating SMEs. A total of 550 copies of questionnaire were administered to SMEs owner-managers.

Correlation analysis and multiple regressions were used and results showed a positive and significant relationship between employees’ involvement in strategic planning and performance of SMEs, also employees’ involvement is a significant predictor of performance. The study recommended that SMEs owners should encourage employees’ involvement in strategic planning activities while providing opportunities for continuous skills upgrade.en_US
