ONE OF TOPICAL ISSUES OF DISCUSSION THESE DAY IN MOST ORGANIZATION IS MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT AND ITS RETENTION TO INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY. THIS PROJECT IS GEARED TOWARDS STUDYING MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTIVITY IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS USING THE FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC OKO AS A CASE STUDY. THE RESEARCH EXHAUSTIVELY EXPLAINED THE CONCEPT OF MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT AND IT’S APPLICATION TO ANY ORGANIZATION. HOWEVER IN THE COURSE OF THIS STUDY, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS ON LOW PERFORMANCE ON THE PART OF MANY EMPLOYEES IN THE HIGHER INSTITUTIONS IS THAT MOST OF THEM IN KEY AREAS HAVE NOT BEEN WELL EQUIPPED WITH PROPER SKILLS OR KNOWLEDGE TO ENABLE THEM EFFECTIVELY HANDLE THE RESPONSIBILITY ASSIGNED TO THEM. ALSO DISCOVERED AS HINDERING TO INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY IS THE INABILITY OF THE INSTITUTION TO RETAIN THE STAFF ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH SPECIALIZED SKILLS, THEREFORE, THIS RESEARCH REPORT STANDS TO RECOMMEND WAYS THROUGH WHICH MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT AND ITS EVENTUAL PRODUCTIVITY SHOULD BE GIVEN SERIOUS ATTENTION THEY DESERVE. THE LITERATURE REVIEW AND THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK PROVIDED IN THIS STUDY ONLY SERVED AS AN IDEAL AGAINST WHICH THE OVERALL MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT EFFORT AND ALL OTHER PROCESS THAT GO WITH IT IN ANY ORGANIZATION AND FEDERAL POLYTECHNIC OKO, TO BE SPECIFIC CAN BE ASSESSED. INFORMATION AND OTHER MATERIALS THEREIN WERE OBTAINED DIRECTLY THROUGH DOCUMENTARY SOURCE, PERSONAL INTERVIEW AND QUESTIONNAIRES FOR ORIGINALITY FOR ADEQUACY, WHICH FORMED THE BASED FOR THE FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS THEREIN.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
No organization has ever succeeded without human effort, in fact, human effort is undoubtedly the sine-qua-non for the extent to which the set goals of this organization are realized or not realized. This is simple because every other resource that contributes the organizational goal attainment are initiated and determined by the person who make up the organization.
Onah (1995), quoting Oguyi emphasize the importance of manpower in nation building. He says that:
No nation in the world can carry out any of its development, programme without adequate and competent manpower. The vital role of manpower comes into focus both in time of peace and when nation is at war. Qualified manpower is not only the critical but a measure of nation strength, security and well being.
The human resources of a nation hold the key to its survival, prosperity and future economic and social development.
The realization of the above fact explains the pre-occupational of every management with some personnel functions, recruitment, employer/labour relation, welfare, reward and punishment of the workforce to enhance productivity. However, manpower development and its eventual management do not seem to have received the attention they deserve. Thus the genesis of the problem of low productivity may well lay with the manpower development strategies of the organization and also eventual inadequacy. How a the management of Federal Polytechnic Oko has carried out these aspect of personnel functions to facilitate the day to day running of the school is the focus of this work.
