GENERAL BCKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The purpose of
undertaking this project is to look into how personnel management enhances
industrial harmony with special reference to cotton mills limited
Onitsha. Also it is utmost important to and identity the problems
militating against workers effective performance it is hoped however , that it
mill from a useful handbook for the management of general cotton mills limited
particularly the personnel management whose duty is to enhance the industrial
harmony of the company.
Before analyzing the
area to be covered in this project it is worth explaining some keywords like
personnel management;
The dictionary meaning
of personnel is body of persons engaged in some public service or in the
offices. Also a personnel manager is the one employed to dead with
relationship between individual employee their relationship problems grievance
etc.
Personnel management is
therefore the management of human resources and the optimum utilization
of manpower to achieve the desired objective and this is regarded
as a life wire of any organization.
Personnel management in
the sense of managing people can said to be part of the role every person who
is responsible for the work of others.
Furthermore personnel
management deals with recruiting selecting placing training developing
motivating pay and benefits enforcement relation with trade unions staff
association safety and heath employment legislation etc
The creation of goods
and service in our society is accomplished through effective work force.
It is pertinent to
mention have that many organizations has lose down or retrench their worker due
to not only lack of raw material and spare parts but to some extents dues to
industrial arrest that are bound in such organization it is therefore necessary
to curb or strongly minimize such a menace or hazards.
To do this
investigations should be carried out or condition hence this project is
undertaken.
It should be noted or
remembered that since that attainment of organizations objectives is through
the work of people and it is established that if people think and act
differently conflicts and disharmony must exists.
The investigations is
therefore aimed at highlighting the factor that affects and that could brings
about disharmony in a department and to try and recommend remedies for it
Personnel management
which is that departments in an organization that ahs the prime responsibility
for the following:
a)
Formulating proposing and gaining acceptance for the personnel polices and
strategies of the organization.
b)
Advising and guiding the organization management on the implantation
of personnel policies and strategies
c)
Proving personnel service for the organization to facilitate the recruitment
motivation and developing of the sufficient and suitable employee at all
levels.
d)
Advising the organization managers of human consequence of change.
Again personnel
management amongst all departments in an organization is regarded as one of the
important department of which if not fund affects the running of the
organization. There are some other important works which are performed by
the personnel managers which helps the organization in enhancing their
industrial harmony which will help for the effectiveness of the workers and
could also lead to improvement of their output.
1.1 PROBLEMS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE STUDY
There are many problems
associated with this study and it could not be overemphasize.
In Nigeria today there
are problems which face the personnel practitioners the first major problems is
concerned with the delicate balance which a personnel manager must maintain
between expatriate and their counterparts. By virtue of culture
difference between two group and the fact that expatriate who belong to
multinational organization have to be treated differently and apparently better
with regards to conditions of service there is bound to be some conflict among
two group but problems arises really form lack of understanding.
As Messrs Onosode and
Dan with most have pointed out some of the expatriate possibly pointed out some
ignorance rather arrogance tend to have the erroneous pre-conceived idea that
his Nigeria counterparts has no skills.
Another area of
misunderstanding concerns condition of service especially housing. The
Nigeria managers cannot understand why they should be asked to look for their
own flat while the company provides his expatriates counterpart with well
furnished and maintained house while this reason is understandable in the sense
of equal pay for equal job the reasoning appears to be based on
misunderstanding.
Lack of training on the
part of supervisors is contributing factors to the problems the personnel
managers have to face. Most of the supervisors today are those who were
recruited during the period of 1960.
They are generally those
of low education and the training and the development of this level of
supervisors are not always a rewarding excised.
Consequently many of
them are familiar with these aspect of management which are associated with
their work how to communicate with them effectively failure to do things
effectively can leads to general frustration among workers which affects the
improvement of out put and growth of the organization.
Another major problem is
that of union most of the local union secretaries are workers whose education
is low and who have received no trade union education what so ever. Their
colleagues have appointed them as they have shown by their behaviour that they
would not co-operate with management.
Consequently
intellectual reasoning and logic become irrelevant in discussion and
negotiations.
The process of selection
and placement is to the personnel managers a straight forward one yet it
has its problem for personnel managers.
The problem arises
because too many applications are chasing too few jobs. This is where
social pressure comes in once an individual is know to be in charge of a
particular company his relations towns men and friends bombard hi, with letter
and as such the organization suffers.
Personnel managers who
are prepared to employ only those who satisfy adequately the criteria laid down
is bound to expand the organization positively.
Finally, we must mention
which could also create problems in running of the organization for the
attainment of their objective.
