Abstract: The seeming non autonomy of work in the studied organization necessitated this study. The study examined the type of relationship between job enrichment and employee commitment in selected brewing firms in Anambra State. A survey research design was adopted. A sample of 156 respondents was selected from the population size of 543 using Taro Yamani Formula. A 12-item questionnaire with close ended questions was used for data collection.

Finding showed that there is a significant positive relationship between job autonomy and affective commitment among the employees in the selected brewing firms. It was also found that when the jobs of the employees are enriched, their commitment level would increase positively and that would ultimately increases their productivity level in the organization. The study recommended that organizations should focus on giving employees a considerable level of job autonomy, this would enable them to utilize their skills and ability to complete assigned tasks and take responsibility for their actions, as well as maintaining strong loyalty and commitment level to the organization.
