1.7 Scope of the Study

It will be too wide and unmanageable for us to carry out a study on manpower training and development on employees’ performance. Its implication will be that while studying manpower training and development on employees’ performance in Nigeria we related it to some selected hospitality firms. To escape this danger, the scope of this study was reduced to manpower training and development in some selected hospitality firms. Even at this, studying the whole hospitality firms in Nigeria will also be too unmanageable for us.

The intention was to use the study in generalizing on manpower training and development on employees’ performance in some selected hospitality firms.

1.8 Limitations of the Study

There always exist many constraints militating against a good research work. Among these limitations/ constraints include the unwillingness attitude of some individuals to come up with relevant information, for some reasons best known to them.

Another constraint is that of reaching to the appropriate respondents. Most of our respondents do not reside where they can be easily reached and this posed a problem for the researcher.

Besides, some of the respondents subjected the researcher to some rigorous bureaucratic process thereby making it hard for the researcher to get some relevant information needed for the study and this also posed a limitation to the researcher.

However, despite these constraints, the research was successfully carried out through persistence and perseverance.
