management is one of the most important aspects of personnel management. It covers economic rewards in form of wages
and salaries as well as in various forms of non-wage economic payment known as
fringe benefits, indirect compensation or supplementary pay. Therefore, this research work has been carried
out to look at the impact of organizational compensation management system on
the performance of employees in the public sector.
The

in order to achieve this, project has gone into so many past works of authors
and related literatures in order to profound solutions.
This
study is divided into five chapters covering the wide scope of compensation
management. Chapter one deals with the
general focus of the study. Chapter two
tries to review various concepts and theoretical strands that are relevant to
this study. In chapter three, attempt
was made to look into the methodology of the study. Chapter four endeavour to present, analyze
and summarize the data collected in the course of the study. The conclusion of the study is in chapter
five where general discussions, conclusion and recommendations were made. These were considered relevant to improve the
impact of compensation management on employees’ performance. In the analysis of

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Business is becoming more complex and
human elements remain an indispensable component of its survival. Training is a
sort of investment from which an organization expect some positive returns. It involves
the development or modification of behaviour of employee in such a way that
they become more effective at their duty post.
Flippo (1980) said that when
employees have been selected, recruited and inducted, such employee must be
develop to better fit the job and the organization since on one is perfectly
fit at the time of hire. Soetan, (1995) also buttressed this point when he said
that training is always necessary when required skills, attitude and knowledge
are either inadequate or completely lacking and when performance deficiencies
that can be eliminated through training are identified.
However, training is often aimed at
increasing productivity, improving quality of work, raise moral as well as
development of new skills, knowledge and attitude. Development on the other
hand, is a learning activity which is directed toward future rather than
present needs and which is concerned
more with career growth than immediate performance. The focus of development
tends to be more on future manpower requirement and other growth needs of
individual in the workplace.
Training and development are not
synonymous. Whiles training is the process of improving job behaviour of an
employee immediately, while development is future oriented often geared toward
preparing an employee for greater responsibilities in the future.
Effective management of change calls
for a dynamic human resources development policy to ensure that each staff in
an organization possesses requisite knowledge, skills experience and expertise
for the performance of his task.
The Administrative approach is based
on the number of employees to be trained in one year at a particular period.
The needs of the employee or the organization is not considered rather it
depend on whose turn it is to go for training and the number of staff the
budget can take care of. This approach, the employees is sent to improve
his/her welfare either financially academically or otherwise. The employees is
sent for training for his/her personal benefit. In organization, a measure of
polities exist as the employee interact with one another here, training
selection is based on either or some of the following lobbying, setting rid of
some troublesome employees and projection of individual’s personal image, this
is know as political approach. The organization development approach is usually
adopted where the management cadre in an organization are made to attend
training programmes as a result of poor performance of a unit or division as
the case may be.
In systematic approach, the need of
the employee is identified from the gap between his actual performance and the
desired performance. Periodic performance appraisal can provide very useful
data to identify these needs` systematic approach to training is preferred in profit
oriented organization because it is often job related and is directed toward
the achievement of organization goals.
Training and development usually
takes two forms namely:
·
House
training
·
Off
house training
In-house training is usually carried
out within the organization e.g. induction course, on-the-job training coaching
programmes, etc here, the training is done in the normal work environment
situation with the trainee using the actual tools, equipment and material that
he/she will use when he/she is fully trained. On the other hand, off-house
training takes place outside the organization, for instance management
consultant and training institutions organized training programmes which
employee attends. Evaluation training it
decides whether training justifies it cost or whether it is doing what it set
out to do.
The main goal of training is to
improve employee ability to perform specific tasks. Many organization therefore
spend a deal of time and money on training and development of their employees. However,
management is justifiable worried about the effectiveness of training
programmes in term of content, method usefulness and result. There are many
approaches to training depending on the purpose it is expected to serve.
These are:
v Administrative Approach
v Welfare Approach
v Political Approach
v Organizational development Approach
v Systematic Approach
Boydel C. (1971) has suggested the
following ten steps as constituting systematic training process.
v Identification of the occupation
chosen as priority.
v Examination of the occupation chosen
as priority
v Analysis of the occupation
v Specification, selection, and
appraisal of the people to be training
v Setting training objectives
v Planning of the training programme
v Implementation of training programme
v Checking / assessment of the training
Budgeting for training can be
described as a process for systematically relating expenditure of funds for
training to accomplish its planned objectives. The main purpose of training
budget is to have realistic estimates of funding necessary for the training
services which are meant to be crucial to the achievement for organizational
goal both in short times and long time basis. According to Douglas
(1969), the step to follow in preparing a training budget are as follows.
·
Assess
the training needs of the organization
·
Draw
a training programme for the year
·
Document
the annual budget for the training schools or department
The information
The time to be spend on training
The number of people to be trained
The incidental expenses such as
traveling expenses.
1.1 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
In line with recent changes in
business circles, human resources
department (HRD) have come to stay. This department is usually responsible for
handling matters on training and development while personnel and administrative
department which have been in existences are still in charge of all other
matters. This is done to ensure that all employees are assisted with programmes
to enable them acquire additional knowledge, skill and attitude with which to
perform their jobs.
It is common knowledge that most
companies recognize that their principal
asset lies within the skill of their employee at all level. Therefore,
this research work is aimed at finding answer to questions relating to the
impact of training on performance.
1.2 RESEARCH QUESTIONS

PURPOSE OF STUDY
The purpose of this study is to
examine the effect or extent which training motivates workers toward greater
job performance in the banking industries. It also examines the training method
being employed and it examine what can be regarded as adequate manpower raining
and development on employees performance and how organization can improve
employee performance beyond the impact of training and development.

RELEVANCE OF STUDY
Many
organization spend a great deal of time and money on training and development of their employees, however the management of
some companies are often worries about the effectiveness of such training and
development programmes in terms of content, methods, usefulness and desire
results. This research effort attempt to evaluate the impact of training and
development on employees performance of a firm in the banking industry.
Training and development of employee
is very relevant to an organization since it may increase high rate of workers
turn over and encourage employee to stay with an employer for an appreciable
period.
Secondly, there are chance of
prevention of industries folding up if they have competent and well trained
staff delivering improved and better services in line with the organization’s
goal and objectivities. This will in turn enable our home made product and
services to compete favorably with foreign
products and services. Training programme also usually provide a job
chance designed to improve the quality of work life the hope that the employees
will reciprocate with training gives the employees a fair chance to better
performance and avoids the frustrating experience of poor performance.
Effective training and motivation therefore ensure the loyalty of employee and
invariable, high productivity through the avoidance of wastages.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Training can result in improve
individual dedication and job satisfaction as performance when training
requirement are determine by analyzing the work to be done the manpower
resources available and the present and future environmental demand or
organization.
All new employees, regardless of
their previous training, education and experience, need to be introduced to
their new employee’s work environment and to be taught how to perform specific
tasks, moreover specific occasion, for training arise when job changes, and new
skills must be introduced by advancing
automatic.
As some employees respond to continue
training, they can be progressively increase their value to organization and
prepare themselves for promotion. Continues training can help employee to
develop their ability to learn, adapt themselves to work methods, learn to use
new kinds of equipment and adjust to method changes in job content and work
relationship.
