  • Background of the study

Organizational performance and effectiveness is a matter of utmost importance to scholars and practitioners in the field of public administration. In any organization performance of organization is very important. Since the super objective of all organizations is to improve their performance as earlier stated. There may be three areas that create or to enhance the organizational performance: employee development of organization, compensation management of organization and organizational citizenship behavior. Especially with the new waves of organizational reform and the adoption of new public management, performance management is one of the core elements is that organizations should measure, and actively implement (Saridakis, & Cooper, 2016; Swart, & Kinnie, 2015; Boyne, Entwistle, & Ashworth, 2010). Boundaries, hire expatriates, and deal with cultural diversity and rely on donations from member states’ governments to fund their programs. A growing number of public management scholars have focused on research aimed at understanding the effects of management on performance in public organizations (Boyne, 2010).

Human Resource Management could be seen as a strategic, integrated and coherent approach to the employment, development and well-being of the people working in organizations. It has a strong conceptual basis drawn from the behavioural sciences and from strategic management, human capital and industrial relations theories. This foundation has been built with the help of a multitude of research projects (Armstrong, 2010).

Internationally, it is deemed fit for organizations to get and apply their human resource effectively and efficiently. Organizations have to be aware of human resource need to know about human resource management more realistically and organizations have to keep their human resource up-to-date. Consequently, manager play significant role for the purpose of achieving company’s goal and meet profits, basically the core functions of managers have to manage the human resource in a way that right number in right way. This study therefore, examines the influence of human resource management that is compensation, employee’s development and organizational citizenship behavior on the performance of the organization.

Human resource management is the policies, practices, and systems that influence employees’ behaviour, attitudes, and performance. Many organization view human resource management as involving “people practices”. There are several important human resource management practices that should support the organization’s business strategy: analyzing work and designing jobs, determining how many employees with specific knowledge and skills are needed (human resource planning), attracting potential employees (recruiting), choosing employees (selection), teaching employees how to perform their jobs and preparing them for the future (training and development), evaluating their performance (performance management), rewarding employees (compensation), and creating a positive work environment (employee relations). An organization performs best when all of these practices are managed well. At companies with effective HRM, employees and customers tend to be more satisfied, and the companies tend to be more innovative, have greater productivity, and develop a more favourable reputation in the community (Raymond A. Noe, 2011). When organizations are faced with challenges such as an economy recession, it depend thoroughly trained professionals who react quickly to changes in the environment and create strategies for success. Human resource management is responsible for carefully selecting and training people with the necessary skills to pursue the strategy effectively. Some external factors can be predicted; others, such as the collapse of large banks and insurance companies, can seemingly come out of nowhere (P.Robbins, 2010).

It is therefore, the focus of this research study to carry out an assessment of human resource management practice on organizational effectiveness or performance, using the organizational structure of Flour Mill, Calabar plc as her case study.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

It is well accepted that human resource management is positively related to organizational performance, but there is a great need for additional evidence to support the human resource management performance relationship from different contexts. The observations of the researcher in Flour Mill, Calabar was that staffs criticized that they are not satisfied with their wellbeing in terms of compensation i.e. wages and benefits. There are no sufficient salary and reward. Due to these motives top quality performers (employees) of public organizations have been moved to other private organizations and other countries. There is no significant work in public organizations in the context of human resource management and the reason is that top management never realize the needs and demands of their employees.

Nigeria as a developing country needs to know the contribution of different factors and the intensity of their impact on organizational performance that leads towards economic development and prosperity. Nigeria is gradually shifting from agriculture to industrial economy and therefore it is important to determine empirically, the contribution of different factors like, human resource management practices towards organizational performance. Because as Bennett (1983) has written importing approaches from one country to another may not work. Also it’s difficult to get published researches that addressed the effect of human resource management practices on organizational performance in public organizations.

1.8 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Flour Mills Plc is located in Calabar, Calabar Municipal, Cross River state. The company was incorporated on 29th September, 1960 as a private limited liability company with a modest paid-up share capital of N1 million and converted to a public company in November, 1978. The beneficial interest in the company’s equity is held by Nigerian and Overseas shareholders.  Presently, two foreign shareholders own about 56% of the company’s paid-up share capital.  The balance is held by over 75,000 individuals and institutional investors.

Beyond wheat based products, Flour Mill Nigerian group’s strategic imperative in the years ahead is to create value in the supply chain and reduce dependence on imported raw materials. To this end, Flour Mill Nigerian has recently invested billions of Naira in its agro-allied ventures. The Group’s strategic diversification into agribusiness began in 1978 with the investment in a 10,000ha Kaboji Farm, which is close to the town of Kontagora in Niger State. We have subsequently made many other significant investments in primary processing of locally grown soybean, palm fruit, cassava, maize, and sugar cane; storage, aggregation and distribution of locally sourced grains and export commodities; manufacture, and distribution of agro-inputs, such as seeds and fertilizers. These strategic investments across the major crop value chains are setting the pace for others to follow and continue to strengthen our position as Nigeria’s Premier Food and Agro-Allied Company.

To ensure the continued viability and sustainability of our Food and Agro-Allied operations in a challenging business environment, we have also invested heavily in support services in the form of manufacturing and marketing of packaging materials; power generation; ground transport logistics; and port operations; which include shipping, customs clearing, forwarding, and a shipping agency.

Indeed, Flour Mill Nigerian Group is continuously exploring opportunities for strategic partnerships to grow and enhance competitive positioning in its main line of business in Nigeria and at a future date extend its investment and business activities beyond the borders of Nigeria.
