CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
Organizations, whether profit-oriented or service oriented are designed to work towards achievement of set-goals. As workers (teachers) consciously contribute towards goals of the organization, they also have personal or group goals they expect to satisfy (Koko, 2005). Aide (2007) deposited that of all tools in management (men, machine, material, money and market), without any iota of doubt, the most important is men. Men are the only animate instrument that is capable of achieving the other 4M’s or making them moribund and hence affect positively or negatively the purpose of a system. Personnel management, otherwise referred to as human resource management is concerned with the people dimension in management. (Aja-Okorie, 2014) perceived personnel management as an important management function concerned with obtaining, developing and motivating the human resources required by an organization to achieve its objectives. Generally, education in Nigeria has been perceived as an instrument “per excellence” for effecting national development (FRN, 2004:4). Government has stated that for the benefit of all citizens, the country’s educational goals shall be clearly set out in terms of their relevance to the needs of the individual and those of the society, in consonance with the realities of our environment and the modern world. If our education is to achieve the national goals, then, well trained, well-qualified and efficient educators are absolutely essential. Thus, no educational system may rise above the quality of its teachers, is an old academic. Therefore, acquiring teacher’s services, developing their skills, motivating them to high levels of performance and ensuring that they continue to maintain their commitment to the organization are essential to achieving school organizational goals.
Teachers’ personnel management is responsible for activities such as recruitment and selection, training, wage and salary administration, establishing staffing ratios, benefit planning and performance. It is their responsibility to develop and recommend policies and procedures which will contribute to the achievement of the goals in the educational system. In summary, the functions of personnel are to select, train, develop, assimilate and remunerate teachers (AjaOkorie, 2014). Managing teachers is that part of school management function which is concerned with teachers at work and their relationship within the educational enterprise. It seeks to bring together and develop into an effective educational organization, men and women who make up the teaching workforce, enabling each to make his/her own best contribution to its success. Management of teaching workforce involves a number of strategies that begins and maintain activities toward the achievement of personal and organizational goals. Omebe (2001) is of the view that well managed teachers will always look for better ways to do their teaching job. They are more quality oriented and more productive. Management of teachers can be through the adoption of these management strategies; supervision, in-service training and compensation among others. Hence, any teacher that enjoys the influence of the above named strategies is bound to give all his best in discharging his or her duty because he would derive the satisfaction of being a teacher, which in-tum will boost his/her performance. It is to this regard that the study wishes to examine the impact of Personnel Management on teachers’ Job Performance using Katsina Local Government Area of Katsina State as the case study.
