IMPACT OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT ON ORGANIZATIONS PRODUCTIVITY
(A case study of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa)
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
The
training and development of human resources in an organization involves
the acquisition of additional knowledge or skills and the application of
the acquired knowledge to enhance their performance. Training is
undertaken because the individual lack skills to use in performing his
or her duty effectively and efficiently. The essence of training
therefore, is to improve skill of the employee. It is assumed that when
people are recruited into organization, they do not know anything about
the organization and their job until they are given some element of
training. It is necessary for all organization to train and aid to the
development of their employees. The training programmes are to recommend
not only the new entrance but also the old ones to keep in touch with
the latest appliance, techniques and method of carrying out their
assignment. For the ones, the modern trends in technology have made
training and development a must in all organizations. The world at
present is advancing rapidly in technology and all organizations raises
the morale of workers thereby widening a situation whereby an employee
is frustrated because he or she has no satisfaction.
Increase in
morale leads to increase productivity. The purpose of training is to
develop skill and through the human resource development embrace all
other diverse process which are aimed at transforming people so that
they can contribute more effectively to social, political and economic
development. During this period of economic recreation in the country,
the country must embark on serious training activities.
Training is
a development process which is oriented toward the need of the
organization. The objectives of the company reflects on both present
market situation of that organization and its future. Weather a man is
operating on a complex machine tolls by the use of a computer or talking
with consumers. He should have received training if his or her
performance is to meet the set standard objective. Employees who have
potentials should be developed in order to be capable of carrying out
more responsibly jobs.
The main
objectives of training therefore is to improve current performance and
provide well training for their staff in order to meet the present and
future needs of the organization.
The essence
of this work therefore is to draw the attention of every organization
in the country to the relevance of training and development of workers
in their employment.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
There are
general feelings that the performance of staff in any organization and
at the Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa in particular could be far below the
expected standard and most of them could be unskilled, ineffective and
unproductive.
The general
impression is that, this problem might be due to the fact that some of
them if not most have never had any formal education and training in
their respective areas of operation. It is in the light this assertions
and feelings that this study is being undertaken in order to investigate
the circumstance responsible for this problem.
Finally,
the study will also seek to find out how much has been done by the
Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa in the area of training and manpower
development of its staff.
1.3 Objective of the Study
The objective of conducting this research is to ascertain the following:
- To highlight the need for manpower training and development in the institution.
- To access the staff recruitment, selecting and training programmes and from it, established some relationship between this programme and problems enumerated.
- To highlight or identify some techniques of manpower training and development in the institution and their relevance to the institution needs and the organizations at large.
- To establish the relationship between personnel training and development and staff performance.
- To conduct an empirical investigation through a review of the manpower training and development policy of the FPN.
- To correct the belief that in this age of computerization and technological development, all that institution need to survive the acquisition of modern capital equipment.
- To proffer solutions to the identified problems.
The
research will be paramount importance to the following Federal
Polytechnic Nasarawa, employee of the Federal Government, organization
research readers and future researcher.
The study
will be of corrective measures to Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa (FPN) in
areas where deficiency has been highlighted as it concerns the training
and development of manpower in Nasarawa.
Finally, it
will enable the staffs to appreciate the important role that the
Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa plays in the life of the society.
1.5 Research Questions
The purpose
of carrying out this research question is to gather data which will be
used for research work only? Therefore all information provided will be
kept secret and shall not be used for any other purpose than this
analysis. The key question carried out during research work are:
- What are the social and personal benefit you achieve from training?
- To what extent does training and development improve the productivity in public organization?
- When did you attend any training programmes since you were employed into the institution?
According to “Bewen and Star (1976): hypotheses are assumption we make about the value of population parameters.
Kerlizer
(1972): assert hypothesis as a conjectural statement of relationship
between two or more variable. Formulation of hypothesis is significant
to research studies particularly as they specify directions among which
researches are to be conducted and pinpointing the research problem for
investigation.
Hypotheses consist of two varieties namely:
Alternative Hypothesis: It is represented by Hi and it’s normally stated in the positive.
Null Hypothesis: It is represented by Ho, it’s usually stated in negative form.
The testable hypotheses of the research study are stated below:
Ho: Lack
of adequate manpower training and development is not directly
responsible for high labour turnover in Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa.
Hi: Lack
of adequate manpower training and development is directly responsible
for high labour turnover in Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa.
1.6 Scope of the Study
This
research work covers Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa in Nasarawa State.
This is as a result of time constraint and other academics engagement
which developed its impacts and effectiveness in an institution.
1.7 Limitations of the Study
The
limitation of the study or problems encountered during the cause of
research that can likely hinder the derivation of maximum result in the
application of the research result include the following:
- Lack of co – operation by some of staff of Federal Polytechnic Nasarawa to disclose information.
- Lack of co – operation to grant excess interview and also time constraint.
Effect was
made at defining the following terminologies use in this study to avoid
ambiguity in bringing out its proper understanding.
- Planning: Planning can be described as the process of setting goals and developing specific activities and procedures and schedule for meeting such goal.
