1.2 Statement of Problem
Inadequacy of Human Resources Planning
has been cited as the reason why most small and medium enterprises
(SMEs) today are facing a chaotic situations as they did not at onset
plan their workforce neither did they have any systematic human resource
(HR) management programme that put the organizations goals first
(Anyadike, 2013). Resulting from this is the dwindling in business
performance and productivity which is giving entrepreneurs, government
and other stakeholders cause to worry and work all around the clock. The
cause of this unfortunate development is primarily a lack or absence of
strategic human resource planning (SHRP). If not, what else can explain
the sharp increase in workers strength as soon as any new chief
executive emerges?
Another fundamental problem facing SMEs
organistions in Nigeria is the shortage of qualified human resources as a
result of poor planning. Human resources being the set of individuals
that makes up the workforce in the organization and makes productivity
to take place must be well planned for and must be placed in the
appropriate positions in other to be effective.
Whether in fact the
use of strategic human resource planning (SHRP) affects SMEs performance
positively or negatively in practice for the typical firms is an
empirical question that remains open. It is on this premise that this
study seeks to explore the effect of Strategic Human Resource Planning
on Performance of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Nigeria with
