1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The environment is a major source of uncertainly to a business manager, and as such both influences the design of any organisation and the configuration of organizational structure.

Therefore, without a thorough analysis of the environment, a manager finds it almost impossible to make important operational decisions in his organization, which are vital in the attainment of various business objectives.

Hence no business organization can operate successfully in isolation, it has to exist and operate within an environment where there is complex interplay between human resources, material resources and other system.  This creates the opportunities, threats and problems for the management.

Imaga (1996:40) said, we ought to realize that an organization is an integral part of it environment and that they are mutually interdependent where the environment plays the role of providing the resources and opportunities to organization for its existence, and the organization in turn, offers its goods and services to the people living in its environment.

Fayol (1949:43) said that of all the basic functions of management such as planning, organizing, commanding, co-coordinating and controlling, planning is the most important and yet the most difficult responsibilities of management.  This is because when goals and objectives have been determined, the next step is to choose the methods, approaches and or strategies of attaining them.  All when and how this is to be done is for the planner.

However, plans alone cannot ensure success of an organization; this is because organization operates in has a big or vital role to play in the success of the organization.

Stanner (1998:207) observed that the most important sole influence on organizational policy and strategy is the environment, both within and outside the organisation.  The more complex, turbulent and dynamic an environment becomes, the greater the impact on human altitudes, organizational structure and process, therefore since the environment is very complex, all organizations should direct its attention to their environment when formulating their strategic management policies, to facilitate their survival.

• STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

There is a vital need to map out a strategy, which will enable a business organization to operate successfully in its ever-changing environment.  The environment, which business organizations operate in, is highly complex, turbulence, dynamic, therefore all organization, large or small for survival, should pay more attention to their environment more than ever before when formulating and implementing organizational policies and strategies.

Chairman, “John Holt” in the year 2000 Annual Report said “the Nigerian economic environment during this year witnessed unsatisfactory growth rate high rate of…

ABSTRACT

 

The continued decline in productivity government  palatals despite huge financial and material resources invested in them has been a matter of concern to all  well meaning Nigerians.

This research work is designed to look into the motivational aspect of the work environment and its relative effect on productivity  in these palatals.

 

Some how workers in the public sectors of the economy are no effectively motivated into increasing their productivity and this has a major factor in contributing  to the decline in productivity and subsequently to the present condition of the economy. these it is the purpose of the study  to investigate the     assumptions as stated in the hypothesis.

 

The data used for this research were collected mainly through the use of questionnaire. These questionnaires were positioned in various cadres of workers in the Imo State hospital manageemnt board in all the three (3) zones of the state. The data collected were analyzed by percentage and chi-square statistical methods the findings of the research are:

2. The motivational factors like promotion increase in salaries and recognition should be used as means of gingering the workers into increase performance.
3. That recognition and appropriate financial reward should be given to workers who put in more effort on the job

CHAPTER ONE

There is clearly and widely accepted belief that the economy of this counting is weak. This has in effect caused such as untold economic hardship to the populace, such that has never been experienced in the history of Nigeria since its independence. It is an acknowledged view that the economy of the entire world is undergoing recessional period. This is much noticeable and hard- feet in the third world countries of which Nigeria is one.

 

Nigeria is much up of thirty- six  (36) state and Abuja as the federal Capital territory (FTC) and she practices mixed economy ideology system. This is an inheritance from her colonial masters. This resulted to her economic structure in relation to ownership of factors of production being divided into sectors.  Earlier before the outset of the third commendable and the standard of living was fairly high, as the purchasing power of our currency was also high. The factors that led into the buoyancy were the revenue that was constantly earned from the sales of crude oil.

 

The second factor was that the nation’s agricultural productivity was also higher than what is obtainable now. Some of the resultant effect of high flow of revenue from crude oil was that people became reluctant to work and displayed a great deal of non- chalet attitude towards the continuation of their agriculture and small sale industrial operations. This subsequently led to a decrease in productivity of goods and services. It further resulted in an increased dependence on imported oil. Thus, there existed a great disparity between our foreign exchange earnings and our expenditure of which the later was greater.

 

The emergence of the oil, glut, made it clear that Nigerian’s economy is hanging on a balance. This situation led to the introduction of the structural Adjustment programmes other wise known as ‘SAP’ by the Babangide administration. This was designed to help bring the rumblings economy its shape. The main strategy here is to reduce the rush for foreign goods, increase production locally and to restructure the entire economy to operate at a greater degree of indecency from foreign influence. The role of effective management of financial, material and human resources cannot therefore be underestimated as one of the means of achieving these economic goals. The government is doing her best through viable policy plans and strategies to influxes substantial materials and financial resources of the two arms in production and ultimate economic stability.

 

On the note, its very important to recognize that for economic growth to be achieved, full and effective consideration must be given to the well being of the individual workers that required to carryout their respective activities in the economic system. When workers are being taken care of, there is the tendency for increased productivity. If productivity increases, there will be the urge for generating more revenue (that is profit) from taxes to the government. Undertaking higher motivational programmes on the individual workers can only do this as it effects human resources management among other factors of production.

 

It is the objectives of the study to examine the extent if positive effect that could be achieved through effective motivational programmes on productivity unique semi- independent government sector called prostates.

 

1.2     STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

There is an ‘Igbo’ adage which says that ‘a collectively owned goat starves to death’. But why? This adage goes to explain the differences that have been existing in efficiency, effectiveness and productivity between the private owned and government establishments.

The main functional area of these parastatals is centered on provision of services of various types such as healthcare, information dissemination, electricity supply and so on. Competition between these private organizations that offer the same services in the…

INTRODUCTION

1.1     BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The Nigerian economy has undergone structural changes in the past three decades from a predominantly agricultural economy in the 1960s to an economy mainly valient on oil from the mid 1970s
