ABSTRACT
The thrust of this
research is centered on the impact of performance evaluation employees job performance
with emphases on Federal Polythecnic Auchi.
Given the special nature
of polythecnics as producers as well as consumer of high level man power and
the fact that investment in human capital is long term in nature. The
operation of the impending rationalization exercise in polythecnics, must be
baseless or rough estimate and human judgment. But emphases should be more
objective criteria, scientifically determine and verifiable over time and
space. This study proposes the use of full time equivalent in determining
student enrolment and workload index as an alternative resource allocation
measure for determining the required academic staff in Federal Polythecnic
Auchi.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 PREAMBLE
In
recent times, there has being a clarion call for the need to increase
productivity, efficiency and effectiveness in every sector of the economy. This
has resulted in a drastic rationalization exercises in various government
ministries geared at minimizing recurrent expenditure by reducing waste,
duplications and redundancies. In highlighting on the evaluation exercises,
Adedoyin Soyibo (1983) asserted that people who should not have been adversely
affected by the exercise have found themselves retired, primarily because of
the lack of objective indices for determining the existence of waste and
redundancies. It is believed that Federal Polythecnic, Auchi will not be
exempted from the crucial exercise, performance evaluation.
Performance
evaluation according to Beach D. S. 1980 as cited in Okoh A. O. (2005) is the
systematic evaluation of the individual with respect to his performance on the
job and his potential for development. Given the special native of universities
as producers as well as consumers of high level of human capital. The
performance evaluation exercise must be based less on rough estimates and human
judgment but more on objective criteria, scientifically determined and as well
verifiable over time. Literarily performance evaluation and allocation is the
measurement of performance against standards. But when further explained it
denotes a reward or consideration for specific type or level of performance is
attached either as a reprisal specific type or level of performance or
encouragement for outstanding performance. Therefore the achievement of any
organizational objective through performance evaluation is to identify those
factors responsible for all the inconsistencies in human behaviour in the work
place.
The
importance of this research study cannot be over emphasized. The research is
centered on the use of workload index as an alternative resource allocation
measure for determining the required number of academic and non-academic staff
in Federal Polythecnic, Auchi. In the same vain the index level to be used to
identify units or department of Federal Polythecnic, Auchi , where existing
staff is overworked or underworked hence the need for more staff or indicating
the existence and magnitude of redundancy.
In
the nutshell, the index performs the double function of performance evaluation
and resource allocation.
1.2 STATEMENT
OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
In
every research study undertaken is as a result of problems. The ability to
design a performance evaluation to assess high level manpower especially in
Federal Polythecnic, Auchi have been a serious problem. The Federal Ministry of
Education need to identify the inconsistencies in human behaviour in the work
place and draw an effective appraisal policy that seek to identify problems of
inefficiency in order to provide adequate satisfaction and good work
environment for the staff.
Furthermore,
the evaluation of performance will always be problematic because the workers
believes that expression and personal loyalty to the superior are more important
and expected than efficient and effective contribution to achieve job
objective.
The
research problems are put in question form which the researcher seek to find
out as stated below:
1. What
are the various strategies (systems) that can be adopted for performance
evaluation and job performance in Federal Polythecnic, Auchi?
2. What
are the rationale of performance evaluation and staff performance in Federal
Polythecnic, Auchi?
3. What
are the various problems associated with performance evaluation and employees
performance in Federal Polythecnic, Auchi?
4. Apart
from the prescribed NUC performance evaluation and staff in Nigeria
universities, and polythecnis, which appraisal methods or techniques can
be adopted?
1.3 OBJECTIVES
OF THE STUDY
The
objectives of any research are usually a mirror image of the research questions
and the knowledge gap it intends to fill. Therefore, the objectives of this
study are as follows:
1. To
examine the strategies or systems adopted for performance evaluation and staff
performance in Federal Polythecnic, Auchi.
2. To
find out the rationale for performance evaluation and staff performance
in Federal Polythecnic, Auchi.
3. To
ascertain any other performance evaluation and staff performance techniques to
be adopted apart from the NUC exiting system.
4. To
determine the various problems associated with performance evaluation and
employees peformance in Federal Polythecnic, Auchi.
1.4 SCOPE
OF THE STUDY
It
is a certainly that knowledge is expensive and unending. On this note the scope
of this study is limited to analysis, carried out on performance evaluation and
emplyees peformance in Federal Polythecnic, Auchi. The study lasted for a
period of 2011/2012 session.
1.5 RELEVANCE
OF THE STUDY
The
relevance of this study cannot be over-emphasized. It is my view that this
study will contribute greatly to existing stock of knowledge on the topic of
this nature. In addition to the above, it will be of great relevance in the
following ways.
1. It
will assist the polythecnic in carrying out performance evaluation.
2. It
will paves way to detect inefficiency and necessary corrective measures.
3. It
will be of great benefit to the private organizations in assessing or appraising
their employees in order to increase productivity.
4. It
will act as a guide post to null in assessing staff performance and allocation
in Nigerian polythecnics.
5. It
will assist in planning for the future in business environment.
