BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

1.1 INTRODUCTION

To make increase in productivity and efficiency in an organization, there is the need to develop, train and motivate an employee so as to stimulate the achievements of the organization’s objectives. After performance appraisal has indicated or discovered that poor performance is as a result of inadequate skills and inability on the part of the employees, steps have to be taken to improve such skills and abi1it’ through training and in the case of management it is known as development.

For success, every organization needs to have well trained and experienced workers to perform the activities. Even experienced workers need to learn about the organization, its’ people, politics, culture and procedures. If employees can meet all requirements of a job, training may not be important, but no employees can over posses all necessary ingredients that a job requires. He may be excellent on one subject or aspect, superb on the other yet; he finds some aspects of the job a little difficult. This is where training becomes important in order to increase the versatility and adaptability of employees. If jobs are simple, easy to learn and influenced by technological changes, sophistication and the complex society, training is inevitable.

Training is a process of updating old skills and de\ eloping new ones. This training is any learning directed towards the question of a specific knowledge and skill for the purpose of an occupation or task within an organization. Therefore, an organization that gives out training, to an employee is doing so to meet the needs of an organization as well as the need of an individual employee in an organization. No wonder in December, 1990, the then Commissioner of Labour in his address to the 14th Annual General Meeting of Nigeria Employee Consultative Association (NECA) stress the role of employee in training their employee to be able to carry out their responsibilities effectively. He said “The development of human resources cannot be entirely the concern of our national ‘s education, institution; it is also the responsibilities of institutions capable of performing training functions.”

Every enterprises, whether public or private does necessary consideration on the job training. Some which are organized and some haphazard and incidentals if employer displays greater readiness many of them do so to invest in training. We hope more rapidly to supplement the work of education and other training institution.

The case of Japan is a relevant example, before adequate .public educational institutions could be established in Japan, private enterprises had their own programmes to skilled workers and you as employer’s, no less than national leaders development planner and technical assistance agencies all over the world, must recognize importance of the development of human resources, without which we cannot overcome the continuing storage of trained people as we strive to throw off the bonds of economic backwardness and to achieve the social and economic objectives of our development plan.

However, to do this, style of leadership is also very important as training itself. Leadership is the ability based on personal qualities of the leader elicits the follower compliances in a broad range of matter. Also as a personal relationship in which one person directs, coordinates and supervises others in the performance of a common task.

The work of motivating and coordinating group members has to be done either by “branching the proverbial stick or by dangling the equally proverbial carrot.”

The former is more jobs centered while the latter is a non-directive group centered procedure. Therefore, management can determine the situation in which these leadership work best and then, select or train men so that their leadership style fill the particular job within an organization.

Meanwhile, as the need for knowledge and skills that employee can use to cope with it. Good training is worth more than experience purse, though the latter is still valuable.

In the organization, the need for training shows itself in many ways, these new employees must be instructed in their duties, and poor selection may necessitate specialized training. Individual employees who cannot perform certain aspect of their duties must be made equal to those tasks.

Complete changes of working method may come about from time to time. This necessitate training, information about new policies may have to be dissented. Attitude must be concerned and corrected. More so, without adequate training, errors, occupational accidents and misunderstanding will arise.

To sum up, training of employees is a vital task for the management to ensure increase in productivity and to stabilize or maintain on-going performance of employees in the organization.

Efficiency and effectiveness is the goal of every organization. In order to achieve these, there must be a system of training employees.
