CHAPTER ONE
1.10 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Human resources are the most dynamic of all the organization’s
resources. The human resources of an organization represents one of its largest
investment. The human element could be considered as the single most important
transition force in civilization around the world. Thus, the history of human
resource management is embedded in its defining characteristics, which include
capacity to transform human resources that are available into organizational
high productivity apparatus.
In recent years, manpower training and development has been the
bedrock of many teaching hospitals in Nigeria. In industrialized developed
countries, manpower training is of reducing obsolence among people and
organization in the face of relentless technological innovation.
According to Lloyd Byars and Leslie Rue (2000) training is a
leaning process that involves the acquisition of skills, concepts, rules or
attitudes to enhance the performance of employees.
Adebayo Y. K. (2006) also define training as activities embarked
upon by organization to equip its workers with necessary skills and knowledge
that will help them perform their duties effectively.
In teaching hospitals, training is often organized to upgrade
their knowledge and skills. Training is also very important in teaching
hospital because when employees are trained it will have an high impact on
productivity and thus, the level of competition among various teaching
hospital. However for effective management of the manpower, training and
re-training is required to meet daily challenges of the work ability that is
facing it.
The immediate question is whether all these training activities or
even the greater part of it can be justified by the result. The strategic
question that comes to mind now is how can manpower training and development be
use on higher productivity. This is what this study is all about.
1.11 STATEMENT OF THE RESEARCH PROBLEM
The impact of training and development has not been fully embraced
or seen as a means to higher productivity in teaching hospitals. This could be
attributed to so many factors ranging from the fact that government agencies
and other bodies involved in training have not been well structured to meet up
with the standard of manpower training required by teaching hospitals.
Also, it is very difficult to believe that most teaching hospitals
rate the development of manpower training as very expensive, there are cost and
benefits associated with manpower training and development. It is therefore
important to asses the cost of this moves in terms of improved performance of
employees, increased productivity, improvement in corporate image so that it
can be recommended in other teaching hospital. These are some of the problem
that are tackled in the course of this study.
