ABSTRACT
This research project examined the structure of staff welfare scheme existing
in ENSWC as well as the extent to which this welfare scheme satisfies the workers
of the organization toward greater productivity. The researcher made use of
interview method and review of related literature as her research instrument.
The researcher observed that despite use huge amount of these money spent by
the management of ENSWC (Enugu State Water Corporation) on workers welfare,
these workers still feel dissatisfied with the welfare scheme being package for
them.
Specially, the workers amongst others would prefer most of their welfare
packages to be in cash rather than in kind. They also wanted the management to
include health care services, canteen services even though dropped in their
welfare packages. Absence of these and other supposed welfare packages can
still lead to more various forms of indiscipline and non commitment and fraud
among ENSWC as an organization. The researcher therefore, recommends amongst
others that more pension and gratuity scheme, health services should be
considered even more cash should be given and less in kind.
INTRODUCTION
The staff welfare scheme if an incentive or package offered to the staff by
employers of labour over and above their salary which increases the health,
health or their standard if living at some costs to the employer.
The staff welfare scheme has grown to become an integral part of staff pay
package in most government parastatals. These welfare salary does. Staff
welfare scheme has been designed and implemented by the government. This is
intended to stimulate the staff or workers towards increased productivity. This
can be analysed that the welfare of the people shall be paramount interest of
any government parastatals. The effect of current economic recession on the
public services has become so depressed that the salary earning of staff can no
longer accommodate their numerous needs, more especially physiological need.
Thus the important role that the welfare scheme plays in business.
Organization today cannot be over emphasized. No wonder why most government
parastatals ministries, non governmental organization continues to offer
welfare benefits to its workers and even continue to review these benefits from
time to time.

1.1
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
This is the theoretical framework that will be dealt with in this research work.
Enugu State Water Corporation is one of the numerous government parastatals
that have continue to offer some welfare packages to its staff over the years.
The ultimate aim has been to increase the quality and volumes of services
offered and state levels. Upon all these workers package being offered to ENSWC
staff yet their customers seems generally dissatisfied with the quality of
services offered by ENSWC.
It’s against this background that the researcher tends to find out the existing
staff also to find out whether such a welfare scheme provides enough incentive
that could improve productivity.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The motivating factors that made the researcher to embark on this study
includes the problems existing from inadequate welfare services. This has posed
a serious concern to every organization. There is lack of enough welfare
services, consist of worker dissatisfaction strikes, pickets, inefficiency,
indiscipline etc.
All these constitute problems statement the central issues are therefore: -
i. What lead them to such strikes, pickets
activities, inefficiency, indiscipline. This could be attributed to inadequate
welfare benefits due to economic recession.
ii. To what extent has the welfare services
influence workers attitude to work. ENSWC is one of the numerous public
parastatals established both in state, local and federal level with the primary
aim of distributing water services to the general public specific to Enugu
State. This organization is designed to generate fund, pay workers, give fringe
benefits and render proper accounts to the state government.
The quality of services offered by ESWC is nothing to write home
about. Private individuals and organization in the state had always had one
compliant or the other with regards to the quality of services they receive.
Some have tap but cannot receive water.
iii. What are the aspects that hinders the efficient
operation of these welfare benefits in the organization.
The engagement of workers in abusing of fund which leads to
shortage of fund, incomplete records on financial matters while all these
welfare scheme amount to cost. If the management continues to implement in
without any increase in productivity on the part of workers than the aim is
defeated and the organization may eventually collapse just like their
counterpart.
