Abstract

The study was designed to assess employees' participation in decision-making at the Ethio Telecommunication Corporation in the Wolkite branch. At Ethio-Telecom, there are some problems, such as inadequate employee participation in decision-making, a lack of culture, low motivation, and minimal participation in goal setting. The main objective of the study was to assess employees' participation in decision-making. To collect the data, the researcher used questionnaires and employed a census method. The researcher utilized a descriptive method of analysis. Based on the respondents' feedback, management initiated efforts to involve employees in decision-making, and they expressed satisfaction with the working conditions at Ethio-Telecom. Generally, management should devise different mechanisms to increase employees' participation in decision-making areas.
