Abstract

The research purpose is to deliver an understanding on how the lack of room for employees in the organization to communicate issues regarding their work to their superiors affect their job satisfactions. Guided by literature on how lack of room for employees in organizations to communicate issues regarding their work to superiors affect their job satisfactions, data was collected from 60 employees of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly, using a self-administered questionnaire. Using descriptive Analysis, it was found that organisation’s workers hold the perception of it not being easy disclosing information to superiors who are involved in political activities. It was also found that workers of a company hold the perception that open sharing of information increases job satisfaction. Based on the findings and analysing, it is concluded that when the employee does not have more freedom over his or her work, will thus constraint role play and have a negative effect on his or her job satisfaction. Having more freedom over one’s work mean being able to voice out how you feel about a task or function which is a way of communicating to your superiors. It is recommended that the organization should have a policy which states that any employee who does not distinct his work from his political affiliation will be penalized. They should know that doing politics on the job can cause you your job.
