INTRODUCTION
1.9 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
All organization have people, they have human resources. Regardless of the size of an organization or the extent of its resources, the organization survives and thrives because at the capabilities and performance are necessary regardless of whether the organization refers to them as Human Resources Management.
Human Resources Development or Human Resources, or has no formal name for those activities all. Those activities are the responsibility of all people in the organization. Thus, members of organizations, regardless of size or resources.
The building up and efficiency of an organization whether private or public, depends to a large extent upon how effectively human resources are initialized, for an organization to attain it desired objective. It must seek and obtain the willing co-operation of the people who work with employees and must, therefore, develop programmes and policies that will enable it to obtain the best results from the employees. With employees and must, therefore, develop programmes and policies that will enable it to obtain the best results from the employees.
Each employee comes to work as an individual with personal aspirations, biases and preferences. Each is concerned about this role, risks and involvement in the organization. Each has a particular need for attention, recognition and understanding. To motivate employees to put in their best efforts to ensure that organization goals are met, their personal needs have to be understand and attended to. Efficient human resources management ensure these systematic steps are use to recruit, train, develop and commit employees and show them the ladder by which they can attain their desired goals. Failure to do this can lead to loss of productivity, lateness, high turnover rate of employees, excessive complaints, and increased accident rate and labour management problems.
Human resources management is the organizational function that managing people and the work place culture and environment effective human resources management enable employees to contribute effectively and productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the organizations goals and objective.
The quality of welfare and training given to the organizational personnel has significant impact on their operational efficiency and behavioural integrity. therefore, human resources management should give serious attention to the provision of appropriate and adequate welfare and training of their employees.
The insight on human resources management under-funding and lack of rigorous performance assessment for promotion and discipline. Broadly, human resources management consists of the following interrelated process and activities;
Determining required quantity, quality and composition of personnel.

Determining or negotiating and managing retirement processes and benefits.
The overall aim of human resources management is to ensure that an organization realizes it goals or objective with optional effectiveness and efficiency through proper mobilization of human resources. In the Nigeria organization, these chains of decisions and activities are disconnected. As a result, training does not translate to appropriate employees’ deployment and organizational effectiveness recruitment and training in Nigerian organization should ensure that man power flow is managed so that there is the right mix of staff that can function with optional efficiency. The welfare of the employees in Nigeria organization has no received the required attention from the government and the public. welfare provision is a prerequisite to the performance of organization staffs, the human resources management should develop appropriate training programmes and welfare benefits for employees to enhance their job satisfaction and morale as well as organization efficiency in Nigeria organization.
Human resources management has ever been conceptualize by both social and industrial scientists to be one of the way of achieving organizational development. Human resources management (HRM) is defined as the location employing and full utilization of human resources for organizational goals and employees satisfaction. In order words, it involves how to find and maintain employees and encourage them to work efficiently and effectively. Explicitly, human resources management requires a high level of understanding and skill several influences at work make it clear that there is no human specialist who can identify a given situation comprehensively and give a full answer to how to manage the groups involved. The complexity of human in the employment situation also posed a serious problem the tasks of human resources management.
According to Stoner and Freeman (1992), human resources management is that management function that deals with recruitment, selection, placement, training and development of organization members Glueck (1978) sees human resources management as the process of locating, selecting, recruiting training and development of employees for higher productivity. An organization is operating with several resources (inputs), among them is the human which is seen as the most important, but complicated input for an organization. In any case no human effort is unimportant, changes or development is in every organization. Many employees are promoted or leave the organization for better positions elsewhere, ineffective ones are demoted or even fired, therefore human resources are needed from time for organizational development to take place. It is necessary to established efficient human resources to optional and effective utilization of their talents so as to operate efficiently for the attainment of organizational objectives.
Effective human resources management policy and practice can make a significant and measurable positive contribution to organizational performance.
