Abstract:
This paper examines the impact of information technology (IT) adoption and managers‘ political behavior on employees‘ participation in decision-making. The study draws its findings from a questionnaire survey in which 235 Jordanian managers have participated. Two characteristics are focused on as having an impact on participation in decision making: the role of nformation in the decision process and the political behavior of individuals. Results revealed that Jordanian managers adopt information technology appropriately as a tool for sharing information and enhancing decision making process. Results also revealed that contrary to what was expected, Jordanian managers do not tend towards large inclination for pursuing political tactics to affect decision-making and withholding information as a mean of control.
