AN EVALUATION OF
MANAGEMENT TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT IN GUARDIAN NEWSPAPER LTD
ABSTRACT
The focus of this project is a management training and
development in the Guardian Newspaper Ltd, Isolo, Lagos. The problem of discriminatory practices in
selecting staff for staff training, lack of training and development facilities
by the management on the progress of the organization, but interested on enriching
themselves were the major issues that motivated the researcher to pick up the
topic for investigation.
The researcher had the underlisted objectives which are:
1. To find out
problems associated with management training and development in the Guardian
Newspaper Ltd, Isolo, Lagos.
2. To recommend
solution to those problems reviews of relevance literature was equally carried
out and the aim focus was in the area of the concept of training and
development in organization and problem associated with it.
Questionnaires were used strictly for collecting data for the
study and chi-square statistical methods for analysis was adopted in analysis
of the data presented. All problems
associated with management training and development militated against the
advancement of employees in this organization and led to decrease in
productivity.
Three hypotheses were equally formulated and tested to
validate the data analysis. The result
of the test was the fact that management training is a necessary ingredient for
the attainment of organization set objectives.
On the basis of the findings, the researcher put forward some
recommendations:
i.
That the company should be using application forms for recruiting new
staff.
ii.
Staff responsible for the selecting of staff for training should be
instructed to apply selecting criteria without unlawful discrimination.
iii. In
order to improve their performance and increase turnover, training and
development is very essential as at when due.
iv. Funds
allocated for training should be utilized appropriately.
Areas for future researches should be recommended as thus:
There should be determination on the rate at which
performance of trained employee is greater than the untrained, where untrained
staff will be used as a controlled group while trained staff as an experimental
group.
Findings should be made to know whether employees advancement
is really determined by acquisition of additional qualifications, work
experience, performance level of favourism.
Finally, the company should endeavour to give helping hands
that adequate research is doing on the areas listed above relevant data should
be given when required.
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of training and development is to bring the skill
of individual employees of an organization up to the desired standard for the
present or potential assignment more broadly and this development provide the
basic skill and knowledge required in carrying out various specialized part in
overall task of the organization. And
help to ensure that these development experiences are of co-ordinated and in
line with the needs of the individual and the organization.
These experiences may be provided in the form of continuity
flow of instructions, commands, criticisms, question and suggestions. In terms of induction course after employment
and before placement on a permanent job.
This might last between one month to three months.
Apprenticeship is an example of long, more extensive kind of
skill training, although it may include general course as well.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF
THE STUDY
Training and development are perceived over the world as the
vehicles of transformation of employee by the employer to achieve the
organizational goal. Any attempt to
determine the most effective process, there are certain problems that will need
immediate energy such as:
1. How can
training needs be determined and how can a training need be distinguished from
an organization need that can be satisfy in some other ways?
2. How are the
utility (reactive) of various training method and devices?
3. How can people
be motivated to increase their capabilities for contributing to the attainment
of organizational objective?
4. How can it be
determined and what extent can the objective of the training programme be
achieved?
If training or development programme are imposed upon people
and are interpreted as punishment for differences, there will be little
enthusiasm and probably little effective learning and also if the training
programme are imposed upon an already over-worked or stressfully individual,
the learning is likely to interfere with the effective performance and
effective learning. Furthermore, if what is learned by employee in contrary to
the behavioural patterns of work environment will not tolerate expression of
what has being learnt.
1.2 PROBLEMS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER:
It is well known fact that an organization cannot operate
without facing problem, one or the other.
In essence, there is always a problem which can either be solved,
eliminate or minimized with the adoption of integrated or effective planning
programmes to any organization large or small requires staffing them with
competent well trained personnel.
This study aims at finding solution to the following
problems.
1. Non
identification of training needs by supervisor, either independently or in
co-operation with assistant from a training department.
2. Lack of fund,
by the organization to send employee on training programmes. This is because by the time they meet up with
raw materials and other overheads the money will finish if not well planned.
3. No systematic
procedure for training of staff.
4. Adequate
attention to meet the needs of trainees is not there.
5. There is lack
of interest by the organization management in the progress of the organization
but interested in enriching themselves.
6. Unexposed of
the organization to the banquet of trained staff in the organization.
7. Non-conversant of employees with his/her
employer might jeopardize the training of such staff.
There are so many purposes in relation to this study based on
the importance of employee training and development. There are many others set out for the researcher
to address in the course of this study.
The purposes of the study include:
1. To find out if
employee training and development is necessary tool for attainment of the
organizational objectives.
2. To find out
how employee training and development should be administered in an
organization.
3. To find out
the associated problem of the employee training and development in the Guardian
Newspaper Limited, Lagos.
1.3 PROBLEM
THAT THE RESEARCHER STUDY:
The finding of this study will significantly contribute to
the importance of the employee training and development of the Guardian
Newspaper Limited, Lagos which the management should try to eliminate certain
possible flaws in them. It is my believe
that retraining and appropriate learning experience will be established and the
recommendations outline in his study useful of those recommendation are
adopted. This study will also provide in
solving certain employee training and management problem, especially manpower,
inventory problem, manpower planning, employee performance problems and
determination of future manpower needs.
This thesis will certainly stand to gain from the study. In the sense that when an organization
function properly, employment opportunities will be opened to the masses
through normal recruitment and selection of social amenities for the benefit of
the public.
This study will certainly enlighten management on the effect
of training on employee performance. The
study will actually reveal to the management how justified the training and
development. It is expected that the
study will serve as a medium through which the attitude is view, perceptions,
and beliefs of employees could be known.
It shows how satisfied they will, regards to training programmes and to
job performance. Management will also know the ruining and development of an
employee will serve as a motivation on his job performance.
Student in higher institution of learning who are conducting
study in similar field would equally derive some benefit from the study. This is so because the study would act as
reference material to them.
1.4 IMPORTANCE OF
STUDYING THE AREA:
The study is limited to Guardian Newspaper Limited, Lagos,
formerly and publisher of African Guardian News Magazine.
The study will be focused on the senior staff/management of
the organization. It will touch such
area of training and development education, performance of an employer before
and after training. It will involve methods and criteria used in selecting
employees for training.
In course of conducting the study, various textbooks on
Business Management, Journals and Magazines and Newspapers were consulted to
find employee training and development.
In the course of writing this project, certain problems are
encountered. There was a problem of
getting the respondents on seat to complete the questionnaires as most of them
were also having busy programmes as managers or supervisors.
Time factor and funds were also another constraint to the
researcher, as some were misplaced or not complete. These reduce the expected sample size.
Academic workload is another constraint likewise office work
because to combine research work with classroom work and office work is not an
easy task to bear of course, these difficulties of meeting up with time as the
frame granted for the submission of the project was rather too brief.
To carry out the research effectively, three null (MD) were
formulated to guide the study:
i.
Employee training development is necessary ingredient for the attainment
of organization set objectives.
ii.
Training improved job performance of employees.
iii.
Career development and promotion of employee is dependent.
ASSUMPTION OF THE STUDY:
In this study, some basis assumed were made which in the
opinion of the researcher the necessary encouragement to continue with the
study.
The researcher assumed that management staff and other employees
of Guardian Newspaper Limited with should give researcher the necessary
information and data required for conducting the study.
The researcher also assumed that the respondents will
complete the questionnaire on time to enable the study to be completed on
record time too. It was also belief of
the researcher that the supervisor will give researcher the guidance and
direction necessary for the completion of the project.
