ABSTRACT
Over the years, many things have been said about low productivity
in public organization. The main purpose of this research is to X-ray the
effects of low productivity in public organization. In attempt to make this a
reality. SUNRISE FLOUR MILL LTD. EMENE (MACKDAVOUS GROUPS) was also
understudied.
The result of the findings by the researchers shows that low
productivity is either inadequate or not strictly implemented. This problem of
implementation is occasional mostly by the government interference. It was also
discovered that incompetent personnel were employed at management level.
For further findings and also based on the above problems, I
sincerely recommend as follows:
The government should allow a free hand to the management of
public organizations.
The government will give enough grants to enable the management
personnel to attend workshops, seminars, conferences, etc to enrich their
managerial acumen.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE SUBJECT
MATTER
The term low productivity refers to the inability of our public
organization to produce up to installed capacity. It is when the organization
produces up to installed capacity or something nearer that one can say that
such organization is doing well.
Nigeria is blessed with fiscal and human resources necessary for
industrial development and buoyant economy. It has a large and e3xpanding
consumption market as well as an emerging and aggressive group capable of
exploiting opportunitie4is in both domestic and foreign market.
The growth of the manufacturing sectors was rapid in the early
sixties and seventies. For instance the growth was 11% between 1962 and 1966
and 10% between 1970 and 1973. it share of grass national product however
increased by only 2.15% between 1962 and 1972 partly because of the
predominance of the mining and oil sector.
Nigeria the 6th world
producers of oil and the first in Africa still import fuel from other
countries. An average Nigerian is now used to the crises. In crisis is no longer
news in our country and still we have four refineries.
This seemingly unstoppable low productivity in our public
organization have had an adverse effect in our national economy, for instance
we are the greatest producer in Africa. This scarce foreign reserve is what we
could have used in importing other goods that are scarce here in our country.
The low productivity in our public organization have made our
development plans to returned up side down and had equally put our economy in a
doldrums.
A country richness is measured by the amount it has in its foreign
reserve, our economy have been stagnant for sometime now partly because of our
wasteful nature.
We establish organization without first of all planning very well,
so that we would have taken all constraints that will militant against full
production. E.g. Raw material into consideration.
1.2 PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER
Low productivity in our public organization dominates discussion
in many circles in Nigeria today.
Public organizations have continued to witness increase low
productivity in recent time. It was reported by Nigeria economic society and
manufacturers association of Nigeria that public organizations lost between
N5-N10 billion naira between 1985-1990.
In 1994 about N460.3 million was lost by public organization due
to low productivity while 1995 with easel the loss of about n502.8 million by
these organization due to the same problem showing an increase of about N42.3
million. While these organization are busy working out means of increasing to
productivity, the problems continue to increase unable it will be pointed out
here that the results or implications of these are damaging. Low productivity
leads to unnecessary lost of huge amount of money. These losses of money by
these organizations cripple the economy of the nation. Again every incidence of
low productivity reduces public confidence on public organization.
Furthermore, the low productivity in public organizations delays
or blows down the industrial development in this country. People shy away from
investing their money in their companies for fear of low return of investment.
It is therefore, the adverse position, low productivity in public
organizations places in our economy that crops up this project.
1.3 PROBLEMS THAT THE STUDY WILL BE CONCERNED WITH
In view of the above mentioned problems, it becomes obvious that
if nothing positive is do to check these incidence of low productivity, it
could load to unpleasant consequences on the economy.
The objective of these research work are therefore to carry out
survey and investigation on this canker worm that has eaten deep on our public
organization. The study will also determine the causes and the basic factors
that are raised to low productivity in our public organization.
The objectives of the study will also be concerned with looking
into possible effects of low productivity on the operation of the economy.
Furthermore, to examine the various management and government
devices geared towards eliminating or controlling low productivity.
Finally, to present recommendation or solutions that may help in
reducing or eliminating low productivity.
1.4 THE IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING THE AREA
Low productivity in our public organization like canker worm has
eaten deep into the fabrics of our various industries. In view of that, effort
has been made in this research work and all avenues exploited so as to proffer
solution on reduction of low productivity.
More importantly public organization in Nigeria will derive great
assistance from the work in finding solution to the low production problem
facing them. This they can do by adopting and implementing the various
suggestions and recommending the various suggestions and recommendations made
in the study.
The research will also be more important to those students
carrying out our research on how productivity in government establishment.
Government will equally benefit from this work.
Therefore, this research will be for mutual benefit of managers,
shareholders, students, government and general public whose confidence on
public organization will once be restored.
1.5 DEFINITION OF IMPORTANT TERM
This research work met a lot of difficulties first and foremost,
most visited were reluctant in given out statistical data on low productivity
being experienced by the organization. None of these establishment denied
producing below installed capacity, but they refused to let such vital
information out. According to them, such piece of information is not for
external consumption.
Secondly, that any attempt to disclose the official data will not
be taken kindly by the government.
Thirdly, that any attempt to disclose the official data will not
be taken kindly by the organization towards that person.
With the above definition, the researchers find it very hard not
to concentrate on theoretical analysis of low productivity in public
organization.
Another problem encountered in the cause of gathering data for this
research is the high cost of materials and transportation accessioned by high
inflation and fuel scarcity in the country. The scope of the research is
limited to the study of some selected companies in Enugu state which are just
few of many public organizations.
The study was to be limited to these organizations due to time and
cost constraints.
