CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Production both private and public organization is simply the
Interrelationship between input and output.
Inputs are resources such as labour materials and work done products
distributed or services rendered.
In Nigeria, works have been exercising some or certain problems that
have been militating against productivity level which has completely affected
the gross domestic product of the nation
The government is trying to see that productivity maintains an
impressive level, the ministry of labour and productivity. National productivity
center etc. are doing everything to alleviate the problems of low productivity
of the Nigeria workers.
In view of these one may ask why the Nigerian worker is still faced with
the problem of low productivity, inspire of all the government efforts to
improve productivity.
vi
Briefly we take short history of NEPA which is a service organization in
viewing the general Nigeria workers.
Electricity development in Nigeria started towards the end of the 19th
century, when the first generating plant was installed in the city of Lagos in
1898. Later, other electricity undertakings were set up by the native and
municipal authorities in different part of the country.
In 1950, in order to
integrate power development in the country and make it effective, the federal
government passed the electricity corporation of Nigeria ordinance No.15 of
1950.
This ordinance brought under one umbrella all the electricity
undertakings owned and controlled by the native and municipal authorities
under the public works department
The electricity corporation of Nigeria (ECN) became the statutory body
responsible for generating transmitting, distributing and sales of electricity to
all customers in Nigeria.
By Decree No.24 of 27th June, 1972, the electricity corporation of
Nigeria (ECN) and Niger Dams Authority (NDA) were merged by the Federal
Government to become the National Electricity Power Authority.
Power
generation in Nigeria started with a humble but steady beginning with only the
vii
Ijors, Delta, Egbin, sapele, Afan thermel power stations, Kainji Jebba and
Shiroro Hydro power station, with the generation capacity increased from
20mw to over 6,000mw in the year 2002
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Research has been carried out in Nigeria; regrettably not much has been done
in the way of solving the problem facing the Nigeria workers.
This has been detrimental to the increase of productivity which will
contribute to the development of nation like Nigeria. In order to increase
productivity among the workers in Nigeria with athe help of NEPA as a guide
the following bottle neck were observed.
The fear of Job security among workers.
The workers should be assumed of their jobs.
The motivational tool and incentives were not properly provided to the workers
that will make them to put in their best.
The job evaluation system has been carried out in an unfair manner
Lack of programmes provision for developing staff made many junior staff
undertake personal training at the detriment of the employers.

THE OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objective or purpose of the stud is to discover the
Following:
1.
To closely look at those factors responsible for low productivity.
2.
To review the current operating standard that will be of gret help in the
task of increasing productivity.
3.
To verify what should be done to increase the overall interest of the
workers to enhance productivity.
4.
To find out the ways to ensure commitment to work in order to increase
productivity.
To investigate how effective the motivational method already applied has
promoted productivity.
RESEARCH QUESTION
To carry out the research effectively, a number of related
Questions covering the productivity of workers in NEPA have been raised.
The following questions were used to acquire the necessary information
on the study.
ix
What factors were responsible for the low productivity of the workers?
What will encourage a worker to work diligently and put in his best at work?
What types of work environment will help to facilitates a worker in carrying
his duties.
Does management style of leadership affects workers productivity level?
What additional incentives will the management apply to increase
productivity?
SCOPE
The research gave much consideration to the problems
associated with low productivity among workers in the public and private
organization where productivity level can be measured.
The study intends to cover a public sector which is National Electricity
power Authority.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The result of research will help to address those problems
that militates against low productivity of workers in the public and private
sector of the economy.
The research also will provide management the needed background in
x
theory and practice for the implementation of the policies as well as
coordinating, organising and controlling of the affairs of the public sector.
H will also help the NEPA management in dealing with the productivity
problems.
This work serves as a research material for the future workers that could
handle related study.
