CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
- BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Manpower training and development must be based on a need analysis derived from a comparison of “actual performance’’ and behavior with “required performance’’ and behavior. Manpower training and development is one of the major ways organization invests in the workforce for greater return today and even in the foreseeable future.
Organizational effectiveness rests on the efficient and effective performance of workforce that makeup the organization. The efficient and effective performance of the workforce in turn, rest on the richness of the knowledge, skills and abilities possessed by the workforce. Training and manpower development in most organizations is a continuous act/exercise. The inexorable march of time and the ceaseless glamour for social change combine to make adaptability and continuing preparation of the workforce as inevitable as the initial acquisition of knowledge and skills. This cannot happen if employees training and development do not occur in an enterprise. In other to maximize the productivity and efficiency of the organization, every executive, manager or supervisor in a public or private organization has the responsibility and indeed the binding duty to ensure the development of their employees who have requisite knowledge and expertise.
Training is like sharpening an existing skill in order to reflect the trends in technology and other social–cultural environmental changes of an organization. Productivity is the goal of today’s competitive business world and training can be a spring board to enhance productivity. The aim is to enable them contribute their full measure to the welfare, health and development of the organization (Onah 1993).
The main objective of training and manpower development in an organization is to increase efficiency of employees with the resulting increase in corporate productivity. This accounts for why a large number of fund and time is expended by organization at one period or the other in the improvement of the skills of their employees at various levels.
The principal intention of training according to Akpan (1982:128), is to equip people with the knowledge required to qualify them for a particular position of employment, or to improve their skills and efficiency in the position they already hold.
Manpower development on the other hand, implies growth and the acquisition of wide experience for future strategic advantages of the organization. Manpower training and development therefore, improves the effectiveness and efficiency of the employee. Therefore, the aim of this research is to know the current state, nature, procedure and method of training and manpower development used by Ankpa Local Government Council for their employees.
- STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This research deals with the effect of training and manpower development on organization is intended to find out the efficiency and effectiveness of training and manpower development programme in an organization with reference to Ankpa Local Government Area Council. Since this organization is a public organization which deals with people at the grassroots level it encounters numerous problems which affects the achievement of organizational objectives. Such problems ranges from:
- Lack of employees with requisite skills and knowledge to carryout their official responsibilities.
- Lack of training, retraining and manpower development for the employees of the local government.
- Lack of qualified instructors and consultants to undertake training courses,
- Lack of essential training tools, to
- Lack of effective communication within the organization which makes it impossible for most employees to know about training opportunities available to them.
- OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objective of this research is to examine the effect of training and manpower development in an organization using Ankpa Local Government Council as a case study with a view to find out how the organization is performing in terms of its employees training and development.
The following are the specific objectives of the study:
- To highlight the advantages of employees training and development in an organization.
- To examine the current training and development of employees in the organization
- To increase the general knowledge and understanding of individual staff as regards training and development.
- To recommend appropriate measures that could help improve the current manpower training program.
- RESEARCH QUESTION
For the sake of achieving the desired objectives for this research, the researcher tries to find answers to the following research questions:
- Does your company engage in any form of employees training and development programme?
- How often do you conduct training and development in your organization?
- Does your organization have policy on employees training?
- What are the major problems in the organization with respect to staff training and development?
- Does training and development improve skills and knowledge of manpower in service organization?
- Does training and development improve productivity and better performance?
- STATEMENT OF HYPOTHESIS
Here, Hi and Ho below represent the alternative hypothesis and null hypothesis respectively.
HYPOTHESIS ONE
Hi: Training and development improve productivity and better performance.
Ho: Training and development does not improve productivity and better performance.
HYPOTHESIS TWO
Hi: Training and development improve skills and knowledge of manpower in service organization.
Ho: Training and development do not improve skills and knowledge of manpower in service organization.
- SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The research will be beneficial to both public and private organization especially Ankpa local government council and their staff as it emphasized the need and encourage the establishment of policy guidelines on the efficient and effective training and development porgramme in an organization.
It will help managers of various organizations to generate ideas and solution to problems based on the best way to run training in their organization in order to achieve desired goals and objectives.
It will equally be useful to small scale business, large corporations, universities, college of education and to the government.
It will also help researchers to know more about training programme as a tool for improving employees’ performance.
Finally, it will be of great value to students as a point of reference and will equally form the basis for further research study.
- SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The scope of this study is limited to Ankpa Local Government Area Council as it will be very difficult to examine the effect of training and manpower development in all organization in Nigeria. Therefore the information and data required for this research will be sourced from Ankpa Local Government Council and any conclusion reached can be binding on the entire local government in Nigeria or such organization as they share similar features or characteristics.
- LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
Analyzing the efficient human resources development on organizational growth is not a shallow topic to be handled haphazardly. Ti is not only technical also sensitive and broad.
For the purpose of this project it restricted to the business concern. Also for want of time resources industrial training fund (ITF) Enugu area office is sampled out as abase for the research work.
So many factors are deemed to militate against quicker and easier completion of the work. These include among other:
Cost: Lack of fund may affect not only the period of the analyzing the effects of human resources development on the organizational growth and come out of legacy for the posterity one need to travel far and near
Time: Time is as costly as money, it is even easier facing financial problems than time. Time cost is hardly required. Financial markets do exist but time existed for time with the school academic; the period for the research work is too short putting other course into the budget.
Source of facts: This research has convinced me that so many authors share almost the same view on this topic “the effect of training and manpower development on organization” as such are going to a library having about ten textbooks of different authors at least you find our they are saying the same thing but in different tongue invariable you are reading a research work as compiled from the review of different authors in the library. Invariably one can say you are having a book or two.
Reluctant to co-operate: The management of the local government are too reluctant to disclose the required information and more so when it comes to disclosing the organizational books of record. The idea equally affects the quality of facts given in the research.
