The advert of industrial revolution in 9th century by European brought new dimension in human society. Machines were invented by human mind and factors emerged for the first time.
People came o work under one roof for the first time, creating management human problems. Later management as a process was intensified through some efforts like those of Federick Taylon Henry Fayol, max weber and Elton Mayor ad the rest of the human behavior scientist who followed Fayol and human relation school. There are various methods of managing organization but all approaches share one thing in common, they advocate the use of people to get things done.
Burskirt, Green and Rogers (1976) contented that personnel management were almost unheard of in the 19th century business firms, it was only in the 20th century that personnel management came in to existence. They further emphasized on the influence of government labour unions in the growth of personnel management. It was the British administration in Nigeria that introduced the period of employment in the real sense of it. The early colonial administration establish government workers or Oyibo workers as they are called in some parts of the country.
Personnel management development gradually gather momentum after independence in both private and public sector. The federal ministry of labour was establish in 1942 to coordinate the public service recruitment.
The role of labour union in developing personnel function in Nigeria is tremendous. The activities of the Nigeria employers of labour (NEL) in 1957 to cater for their welfare cannot be forgotten
Furthermore, development of education and other also contributed, today personnel management is highly developed, utilizing highly trained managers with background in sociology, psychology, economics and general business administration. Personnel management are found in every field of organization such as: insurance, banking, co-operatives and public administration.
The importance of the personnel function was underscored by a well known management enemy Rensis Likert, who said that all the activities of any enterprise are initiated and determined by the persons who make up that organization. Plants officers, computers, automated equipment and others that a modern firm uses are unproductive expect for human effort and direction of all the management tasks, managing the human components is the central and most important task because all else depend on how well it is.
From Likerts view one can see that personnel department is the foundation upon which other department are layed. This department is of great importance to both the public and private sector like Emenite as a private company was established in 1963 and formally called Turners Absectors cement company Nigeria limited producers of absbestord related materials such as ceiling board, ceiling ties.
This company was then owned by turners and Newer company in Britain, lately the British sold their shares to a company at Belgium in 1987 called Emtext group of company and it is now called Emenite Nigeria limited, this belguim company have 51% shares with the Eastern state including Enugu, Imo, Anambra, Abia, Ebonyi states have the remaining 49% shares in the company, they now includes asbestos roofing sheets, pressure pipes I their products which has about 90% raw materials from cement. This continuous existence of this company is as a result of the viable hands in management which was made possible by the personnel department.
Therefore,. Personnel functions are over emphasized which includes recruiting selecting, training, developing assimilating and remunerating employees so that the organization aims ad objectives are attained. That is why Flippo (1984) looked at personnel management as the planning organizing directing and controlling of the procurement development compensation, integration, maintenance and separation of human resources to the end so that individual, organizational and societal objectives are accomplished effectively and efficiently
Personnel management usually go beyond demand and supply of human resources in an organization. The existing problem in this department trigger to mal-functioning of the department. There are constrains such as individual geographical and racial background, occupational, cultural, industrial differences and legal influence on employment decisions which jeopardize their objective. It is this problem that necessitate this project.
The native of the man power resources that are available has considerable influence on the degree of success that a personnel manager experience in filling job vacancies.
The composition of the labour force and it’s distribution also effect such personnel function as supervision, bring benefits, wages and salary administration and union relation. Infact, there is probably no function of personnel management that is not influenced in some manner by man power hand.
It is describable also to understand some of the changes that are taking place and their implication for personnel management.
