CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Historically significant proportion of management literature has focused on the problems, system and techniques of maintaining high levels of employee performance. According to Kuznits and Hammons (1929. Vol 50, No 4p 236-242). Frederick Taylor’s turn off the century effort to obtain a fair day’s work for a fair day’s pay, resulted in the creation and wide speed implementation of a number of scientific principals to work setting, including tire and motion study, performance standards, employee training and incentive pay system.

In the 1930’s, the industrial world turned its attention from human engineering to human relations and Harvard psychologist.

Elton Mayo revealed the impact of social and psychological factors on workers satisfaction morals and productivity at western electrics Hawthorne plant. And today, the groundwork laid by Taylor and Mayo has resulted in a wide and often contradictory variety of theories and principles designed to push workers productivity and organizational effectiveness to highest levels possible.

Newspaper headlines tell of a growing disenchantment with one example of the disenchantment was noted in a recent WALL STREET JOURNAL article (FALVVI 1990) Nordstorm, a high service high performance company is struggles with employees. Problems among the “Nervous Nordes as employees like to cell themselves there is growing dissatisfaction. The articles noted that Nordies are under increased pressure to work many hours without pay in an environment of constant pressure any harassment that incites employees to pay for each other while the pressure of Nordisstorm may be some what unique their problems with work are not unique. A recent issue of for TUNE UNCUMENTED the fact this disenchantment is not just a problem with employees but with middle managers as well Farharm (1989.p 81-82).

One story after another describes frustration but out and out hostility, strikes and physical sabotage is not uncommon within many organization this neglect and objectives for which such organization existed.

Organization whether large or small have certain objective which they want to achieve. The attainment of this objective is a measure of the effectiveness, productivity and jobs satisfaction of members of the organization. It should be noted that organization with building not be productive without ensuring that their workers are satisfied with their job Chinedu Christian Ukaeabu (1987 Vol. 23, No 1 and 2, p. 14-22) therefore in order to the effective and productive it is important to examine the activities feelings and experience of individuals who work in such organization. According to Shureslzer and Bengh (1979. Vol 123 No a and 2 ) “Nigeria scientist and engineers may not be effectively utilized in the economy because their working condition are un-motivating.

In Abel Ubeku’s opinion (1978 Vol No 704 .35). “Once people including the ordinary citizens detect that the money they had helped in accumulating is being wasted on frivolous and useless project or ventures, rather than in the interest and continued growth and development of the organization to which they belong their loose interest.

This according to him is a common phenomenon in indigenous business. The owner of the business uses the project made to either acquire more views or throw frequent parties or build houses. Its staff do not feel they have a share in all these and so they loss interest.

Finally, it is well-known fact that all business organization strives any aim at increasing or improving productivity in order to achieve the organization objective. The researcher feels that it will serve a useful purpose to ascertain whether an organization’s productivity can be improved by improving the job satisfaction of employee of such organization. Hence the selection of the topic. THE IMPACT OF JOB SATISFACTORY ON PRODUCTIVITY.
