Chapter One of The Effect of Inadequate Human Resource on the Performance of Government Establishments

INTRODUCTION

Majority of people with particular reference to the elite will be wondering why the inadequate human resources on the performance of government establishments. A research supply will sound like asking an obvious question what are the causes of the inadequate human resources on the performance of government establishments. Given some answers to the above question I will start by first emphasizing the importance of human resources in every economy. Trended French described human resources as consisting of all individuals who are engaged in any of the organizational activities regardless of their level.

Human resources from above mean men and women working for an organization irrespective of the post they are holding. However, this went further to emphasize that there was no demarcation for men and women working for the organization that does not belong to human resources of the organization. Therefore, the human resources of the government establishment e.g. ministry ranges from the commissioner down to the messengers.

Meanwhile, all activities in the organization depend on human resources either public or private organization. Therefore, any establishment aiming at achieving its goal must ensure not only maintaining constant and adequate supply of human resources but also ensuring that they are adequately motivated.

From the above, we can clearly understand that the goals of the establishment cannot be achieved only by providing and ensuring adequate supply of human resources. This is because the human resources that are not motivated will not be answering human resources of the establishment without giving their best.

Perhaps, commendations must be made to the University of Nigeria, Nsukka for making Industrial Training as one of the requirements for the Award of Diploma Certificate in the institution.

This was because during my sister’s industrial attachment work with the board of Internal Revenue Enugu. That the effect of inadequate human resources on the performance of Government establishments was identified. I was always visiting her at the office on daily bases and I shared her experiences. Then the identified problem was taken to Caritas University Enugu to be approved for further research (BSc. Project). This was how the research topic came about.

Moreover, some of us are not opportune to go into some establishments being it private or government establishments but may doubt that there are no inadequacy in human resources on the performance of government establishments. This research topic was chosen out of practical experience.

This was because my information handled a competent schedule of duty, which my sister was supposed not to do as a student.

Furthermore, surprise came upon her when she was asked to cover the schedule of two (2) persons at a time which was due to inadequate human resources on the establishment, from the above mentioned reasons, the aims of finding some ways of minimizing the effect of inadequate human resources on the performance of government establishment and possibly to make suggestions on how to eliminate the problem of inadequate human resources confronting government establishments.

Finally, this research will therefore, be a contribution towards finding some of the causes and effects of inadequate human resources on the performance of government establishments. Also, some suggestions will be made on how best to remedy the problem.
