This research seeks to analyse the influence of employee participation in decision-making on the organisational performance of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Benin. Using a quantitative methodological approach, we targeted our sample of 150 employees and managers who answered the questions. A correlation matrix was used to assess not only the dependence but also the direction of change between several variables at the same time. The linear correlation coefficient and clinical significance allowed us to analyse the data collected. Our results show that the correlation coefficient between the variables «high employee involvement» and «organisational performance» is positive. The higher the level of employee satisfaction, the closer SMEs are to achieving their social and organisational objectives. Finally, the greater the sharing of information between employees, the closer SMEs are to achieving their social and organisational objectives.
Author Keywords: Involvement, decision-making, organisational performance, SME.

Abstract: (french)
Cette recherche tente d’analyser l’influence de la participation des employés à la prise de décision sur la performance organisationnelle des Petites et Moyennes Entreprises (PME) au Bénin. A travers une démarche méthodologique quantitative, nous avons ciblé notre échantillon composé de 150 employés et dirigeants qui ont répondu aux questions. L’utilisation d’une matrice de corrélation est utilisée pour évaluer non seulement la dépendance mais aussi le sens de l’évolution entre plusieurs variables en même temps. A l’issu de nos résultats, le coefficient de corrélation entre les variables « forte implication des employés» et « la performance organisationnelle» est positive. Plus l’implication des employés devient importante, plus les PME se rapprochent de leurs objectifs sociaux et organisationnels; en ce qui concerne la « forte satisfaction des employés», plus la satisfaction des employés devient importante, plus les PME se rapprochent de leurs objectifs sociaux et organisationnels. Enfin, plus le partage d’informations entre les employés devient important, plus les PME se rapprochent de leurs objectifs sociaux et organisationnels.
Author Keywords: Participation, prise de décision, performance organisationnelle, PME.
