CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
In every organizational set up, you will always find two indispensible group. These are the employers and the employees. They constitute the pivot upon which the activities of the organization revalue. The fact remains that in an organization where the employers and the employees are co-operative, it helps to improve their productivity and services.
Every organization is set up to attain a defined objective which has to be accomplished of which one of them include high productivity. To do this management has to organize the resources to achieve maximum performance.
One of the resources of course are human beings with the output of some factors like machines which will help to determine the kind of results that will be achieved from the activities of the organization. Although it is said that how a man does a job depends on the reward attached to the work. The term ‘reward’ has a complex meaning. As a result of research into human behavior in work situation, we now know that wages a salary meets only one or two important needs of the workers.
Every worker requires the organization to treat him as a human being and not as a commodity. Belloc (1994) said that workers have contain in alienable right as important as those of their employer and it is the duty of the organization to recognize those right.
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
This project is prompted by the researcher desire to determine:
The causes of law moral in workers in an organization
Effect of low moral of workers in an organization
Strategies to be adopted to improve the moral of workers in an organization.
1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
It is an established fact that most organizations in Nigeria render poor services to their customers due to poor training development programme. Most customers spend hours before their needs are been responded to.
This phenomenon is predominant in most companies. These problems are caused due to staff inefficiency and poor performance.
In spite of some outstanding efforts, most business organizations are still short of skilled manpower personnel necessary for a successful development policy and this symptoms manifest itself in several ways like lack of interest in one’s job, excessive absenteeism rate, excessive complaint and in-surbordination and low quality outputs.
Although, it has been pointed out that staff training and development is not the only cause of all management problems, but researcher is of the view that it is an important factor contributing to management problems and this can be avoided and solved by early application of standard adequate training and development programmes for different levels of staff.
This will not only boost productivity but also increase morale and reduce flexibility if properly carried out.
