CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The management of people within the
organisation has become an increasingly recognized important focus for
researchers and practitioner over the past 20 years. Organisations are becoming
more aware of important role human resource play in the success of their
organisations to achieve financial performance. As a result, organisations are
becoming more employee-centric by focusing on enhancing employees’ engagement
and organisational commitment
It is important for organisation to adopt human resources management (HRM)
system that optimizes workforce as it enables organisation to achieve
competitive advantage in today’s global market economy that provides wider
access to technology, finance and other resources. Pfeffer (1994) stated that
firms have increasingly recognized the potential for their peopleto be a source
of competitive advantage. Creating competitive advantage through people
requires careful attention to the practices that best leverage these assets.
According to Nishii, (2008) scholars generally agree that appropriately
designed, Human resources management practices can enhance organizational
performance. Related theories suggesting and supporting assumption holds that
the practices of Human Resources Management influences employees attitudes and
behaviours.
Human Resource Management is an invisible asset in an organisation. It creates
value when embedded in the operational system that enhances organisational
performance and ability to deal with turbulent environment. Effective HRM
assists in developing human resources into high quality and efficient workforce
thus enabling the organisation to obtain a competitive advantage through their
people. In contrast, inefficient workforce can increase labour cost and decrease
organisation productivity. However, in order to remain competitive, grow and
diversify, an organisation must ensure that its employees are qualified, placed
in appropriate position, properly trained, managed effectively and committed to
the firm’s success. The goal of HRM is to maximize employees contribution in
order to achieve optimal productivity and effectiveness while simultaneously
attaining individual objective (such as having a challenging job) and obtaining
recognition) and societal objectives (such as legal compliance and
demonstrating social responsibility).
Human resource dimensions or practices
(training, recruitment, reward system performance appraisal etc) have
considerable impact on the performance of organizations and these contribute to
the affirmative link between human resource management and organizational
performance (Osman, 2012).
Training is a flexible way to develop an employee as it consists of both formal
and informal ways to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of employees
(Ellstrom, 2011). Job security increases employees’ honesty, keeps employees
committed to the organization and provides security to valuable information as
well (Raji and Jackson, 2011). Reward system is imposed on organization to
evaluate reward and organization reward employees on the basis to get value by
elaborating what they have spent and what they have got (Armstrong, 2011).
Employee performance can be evaluated by the evaluation of task and reward
system. Employee performance is one that is affected by the knowledge transfer
that helps employee to develop their understanding of networking as well as
focusing on the organizational performance.
Organizational performance is related to organizational justice which allows employees to get committed to task assigned to him or her. HRM dimensions greatly influences the employees attitude which in turn affects employees’ performance. If HRM system works effectively, then increase in the organizational performance will be seen (Snape and Redman, 2010). Competitive advantage is viewed as a source of competitive advantage is a must for any organization and employees are always viewed as source of competitive advantage for any organization (Barney, 1991; Pfeffer, 1994). So, human resource management must be made in such a way that can utilize employees in the best possible way to increase performance of organizations.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Research problem is an intellectual
stimulus calling for an answer in the form of scientific inquiry.
From experience over the years, with the role of human resource management in
the achievement of organizational goal in Nigeria compared to other
organizations of the world. It has been observed that human resource management
in Nigeria have not performed well to support the efficiency and growth of the
nation.
Any management that is keen on training its personnel is usually faced with the
problem of cost/benefit analysis. It is very easy to work cost but it is
difficult to put value on the asset. It is therefore pertinent to list the
problems associated with training human resource in the organization.
It has been observed that the problem facing business and increasingly number
of workers are being faced with poor condition of service including
remuneration. Furthermore, the foreign exchange problem has added a new
dimension to the range of problem facing business organization. The overall
effect of the problem is that most business organization can no longer afford
to offer the employees good remuneration and adequate compensation for their
labour. This is a situation that brought about ineffectiveness of human
resource in the achievement of organizational goals.
Presently, Nigeria economy is experiencing some economic difficulties which
have resulted in retirements, retrenchments, lay-offs, mergers and acquisitions
and dismissal of employees.
Furthermore, prominent among the reasons why organizations perform poorly in
most organization in Nigeria is the problem of fund. Thus, this is the reason
for the introduction of two schemes and programmes by the federal Government
through the CBN which are geared towards improving the accessibility and
availability of credit to the companies in order to make them more vibrant.
Even the funds cannot manage themselves without the human resource.
At this point, the problem this study seeks to address is to find out the
impact of HRM and how it has facilitated the growth and achievement of
organizational goals.
