Abstract
The seeming non autonomy of work in the studied organization necessitated this study. The study examined
the type of relationship between job enrichment and employee commitment in selected brewing firms in Anambra State.
A survey research design was adopted. A sample of 156 respondents was selected from the population size of 543 using
Taro Yamani Formula. A 12-item questionnaire with close ended questions was used for data collection. Pearson Product
Moment Correlation Coefficient was used for data analysis. Finding showed that there is a significant positive
relationship between job autonomy and affective commitment among the employees in the selected brewing firms. It was
also found that when the jobs of the employees are enriched, their commitment level would increase positively and that
would ultimately increases their productivity level in the organization. The study recommended that organizations should
focus on giving employees a considerable level of job autonomy, this would enable them to utilize their skills and ability
to complete assigned tasks and take responsibility for their actions, as well as maintaining strong loyalty and commitment
level to the organization.
