CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.0 BACKGROUKD TO THE STUDY
The success of any organization depends to a large extent on effective utilization of human resources. This is mostly influenced by the organization’s objectives coupled with the skill, satisfaction and enthusiasm of the employees. The organization must constantly work towards recruiting qualified hands, trail and also make efforts to retain them, and one good way of maintaining the survival of the organization, -is to see that employees derive satisfaction from the jobs done by them.
One major recurrent problem in industries nowadays is the increase in “LABOUR TURN-OVER” that is, the avoidable separation of workers from organization. This is the problem, which the study tends to examine with the aim of reducing the rate of “Labour Turnover”. Dissatisfaction among workers can manifest that are itself in the form of serious industrial conflicts that are detrimental to the achievement of the organizational goal such as absence from work, low performance and gross indiscipline.
Labour turnover cannot be discussed fully in isolation without mentioning personnel management, as labour management is part of personnel functions. The definition of personnel management by Thomas G. Spates is “a code of the way of organizing and treating individuals at work so that they will each get the greatest possible realization of their intrinsic abilities, thus attaining maximum efficiency for themselves and their group and thereby giving to the enterprise of which they are a part, its determining competitive advantage and its optimum results”.
