Abstract
What psychological factors determine Ghanaian employee participation in development activities in organizations? Empirical research has failed to examine psychological factors influencing employee behavior in Ghanaian organizations. Using the Theory of Reasoned Action (Ajzen & Fishbein, 1980), I examine attitudinal and social determinants of employee participation in development activities. Results of a cross-sectional study of one-hundred and eighty five managers from three organizations show that commitment, job satisfaction, as well as perceptions of peer advancement and family situations influence employee intention and actual participation in development activities. Hence, I conclude that in order for organizations to improve productivity, employees have to develop their competencies by participation in development programs.
