Abstract

Joint consultation and employee citizenship conduct in Yenagoa, Bayelsa hotels were explored. A cross-sectional poll of 1674 people from 11 hotels was conducted. The research used Krejcie and Morgan sampling with 313 participants. Only 268 data were analysed after cleaning. Data was presented using descriptive statistics and hypotheses evaluated using Spearman's Rank Order Correlation Coefficient. Content validity was obtained via supervisor vetting and approval, and internal consistency was achieved by the Cronbach Alpha Coefficient with all items over 0.70. Joint consultation positively and significantly affects Yenagoa hotel employees' civic conduct. The research found that collective consultation improves Yenagoa hotel employee citizenship. The research suggests that organisations employ joint consultation to create worker trust and cement democratic conduct.
