ABSTRACT
This project examined the use of the committee system in
organizational decision making. Literature related to the subject area
were reviewed in order to have a sound academic backing to the research work.
Secondary data and oral interview were used as a supplementary
instrument. Meanwhile, secondary data was collected from textbooks, journal
and the company’s record. The data obtained were presented and analyzed
using data of frequencies and the chi-square test statistics for testing.
Among others, it was found that capabilities of people were not considered
before appointing into committee and that through committee decisions costs
more, they are worth the cost because of the quality. We therefore
recommend among others that committee membership be restricted to those who
possess the capability/qualifications, experience and skills required for the
committees assignment and that organization develop strategies to ensure
reduction in the time, money and resources spent on committee.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The use of the committee system of reaching decision is not new in
the public and private sector organization in Nigeria. A study of
Nigerian establishments shows that 78% of the organizations studies reported
the existence of one committee or the other. We are familiar with such
term as executive, advisory, legislative standing and adhoc committee that
exist in most public and private sector of organizations as tools for decision
making. Although, most decision in organizations are made after
consultation with those member of that organisation who have the special
knowledge or experience relating to the problem at hand or after consultation
with those whose advice is considered valuable. But there have been some
negative controversies as to the justification of the use of those specialized
managerial skills which can only be provided by committees. Many people
see committee especially in government owned establishment.
(a) Time consuming
(b) Very expensive
(c) Usually composed by unqualified personnel.
(d) A group of people whose decision is most often a
compromise.
(e) A means through which executives hide their
inefficiency.
On the other hand, opponents of this view state that the committee
system has the advantage of producing excellent judgment through combined ideas
that the development of personnel sense of judgment creating the chance of
greater acceptance of ideas etc. Thus there is a need for a balanced to
be struck between the demerits and merits of employing the committee system as
tool for reaching decisions in order to effectively develop and utilize them in
future for optimum results. Because of the extensive use of committee
system by the government parastatals.

arrive at a generally acceptable decision. Committee is most often not
consumerate to the benefits derivable from their use. It is a fact that
it will cost an organization more to maintain several people working on the
same problem than if it were one person. Another problem is on the
educational and technical qualification of the members of the committee
especially in public sector enterprises in criticized on grounds of poor
qualifications of members.
Moreover, critics that most committees decision are compromise

guarantee doubts for making decisions. All these generate doubts as to the
effectiveness of the committee system of decision making.
