Abstract
Although many researchers assert the importance of involvement in strategic planning for gaining employee commitment to strategic formulation and implementation, neither the existence of this relationship nor the strength of the effect of involvement on commitment is clear. Using a sample of top-, middle-, and lower-level managers, this study found significant results which suggest that procedural justice partially mediates the relationship between strategic involvement and commitment.
