public sector with a particular reference N.T.A Owerri and its associated low
productivity. The introduction part gives brief account of what low

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Productivity
is very important in the development of any country because it will help to
improve the standard and quality of life of the citizens.
The
issue of low productivity by public service have in recent time been a matter
of great concert to the nation, let us first of all define the term or rather
make an attempt to the definition of productivity. Productivity simply means
the level of efficiency of work especially in industrial production. Increased
productivity will improve the conditions of the environment as well as to
enhance security.
This
why David Ricardo stated in his study of population “that food needs to grow at
a geometric progression in order to meet the demand of the growing population
this emphasized the need for increased productivity
Yesufu
(1962) was of the view that productivity can be defined as the ratio between
output and all the resources used in production i.e. capital, labour, raw
materials etc. the problem of raising out put demands for efficient use of all
available resources. With these definitions, one may ask why is the Nigeria
public service inherently characterized by low productivity in spite of all
Government efforts to improve productivity the company under study is Nigeria Television
Authority (N.T.A) channel 12 Owerri. In the bid to achieve increased
productivity, the company will adopt a suitable leadership style, train
employees as and when due, run a participative management, offer good
remumeration etc it is therefore that will enhance productivity. Increasing
productivity is a way of increasing the ability of people to do what thy want
to do as such that it can provide the whelem that for achieving a higher
standard of living for those suffering from low income and inversely boosting
the prosperity of the over all Nigeria economy.
1.2 Statement
of the Problem
There
have been concerted effort by the Government and the organized private sector
to enhance productivity in Nigeria.
For instance, the Federal and State Government organizes seminars and workshops
aimed at making its also have the national merit award to individuals who have
distinguished themselves in terms of being highly productive. In spite of all
the efforts being made, the public sector is still experiencing low or
decreased productivity as much of the personnel are not putting in their best,
some are idle, others come late to work and still others are absent from work
without a reasonable excuse which contributes to low productivity especially in
the public sectors. In other countries, their level of technology is very high
thereby enhancing their level of productivity, which put them in a favourable
position in the international market.
1.3 Objective
of the Study
In
view of the fact that the issue of low productivity has become a matter of
great concern to various sectors of the Nigeria economy, the objectives of
this study are aimed at finding out:
i. Why productivity is low in the public
sector
ii. The roles of motivation in
productivity
iii. Management problems that causes
inefficiency and low productivity
iv. The effects of leadership styles to productivity
v. To examine it education back ground
affects productivity
vi. Find out measures that can be used by
management to solve productivity constraints
1.4 Research Question
The
statement of these research question of the study topic will make the problem
clear and this will enable the researcher to have a better understanding of the
issue indeed in which the research will new concentrate attention of arrive at
a solution to low productivity in Nigeria public sector. The questions
are:
1. What are the causes of low
productivity in Nigeria
public sector?
2. Does low productivity have effect in
the public sector?
3. What are the measures that can be
used to solve managerial problems that lead to inefficiency?
4. In what ways choices educational back
round influence productivity?
1.5 Statement of Hypothesis
A
hypothesis is a tentative assumption which suggests a particular relationship
between two or more variables (Unanka 200). They are propositions or ascertion
created to be rested. For the purpose of this study we shall use the following:
Ho: low
productivity affects the growth of an organization.
Hi: low
productivity does not affect the growth of an organization.
Hi: low
productivity does not affect the growth of an organization.
Ho: leadership
styles effects productivity
Hi: a
leadership style does not affect productivity.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This study would be of immense
benefit to the Government and the management of public organization especially
those are in different to through it recommendation provide solution and
suggestions through which workers could be gingered for greater performance. A
major significance of this study is that it will serve as another contribution
to the academic development theories of productivity.
1.7 Scope of the Study
According
to Osuala (1988), an adequate statement of this problem also defines it very
carefully in terms of its scope, and it is obvious for a researcher to set
forth the bounds of the topic being researched on based on this, the scope of
this study covers Nigeria television authority (N.T.A) Owerri Imo State.
1.8 Limitation of the Study
Imo
State Government was a premier Government carried out of the best central
State. The case study Nigerian television Authority (N.T.A) Owerri is Located
in the heart of the town-No Bank road Owerri Imo State in writing this project,
the research collected data through questionnaires some questionnaires were
given by hand others through the internal. However, the researcher did not find
it easy in the process of data collection. Some respondent did not return
questionnaires sent to them through mail. Financial constraint also hampered
the success of this work because the distance between the residential place of
the researcher and the company had an untold heavy cost and suffering on the
researcher.
The
researcher was also in capacitated by time, the compination of high academic
study were quite.
