1.1 STATEMENT OF RESEARCH PROBLEM
Construction
companies experience many challenges in human resource management and
development because of the high number of temporary staff, Alvin (2011).
This he says is mainly due to the fluctuation in the demand of the
industry not to mention the subjective reasons (i.e. specific procedure
in production, material and technology) that limit the workers decision
making process.
According to Adeagbo and Oyemogum (2012), human
resource development is not regularly practiced in most construction
firms in Nigeria. Majority of the firms are small and medium sized with
more semi-skilled and unskilled work force than skilled work force.
Lack
of timely project delivery of construction projects are influenced by
lack of full commitment by workers due to the company’s reward system
which causes them job dissatisfaction.
Great expenditures of time,
money and resources, both human and material, are wasted each year
because of inefficient quality management procedures.
A serious
limitation that recent reviews of the literature points out is that the
link between HRM and organizational performance is considered like a
‘black box’, i.e., lack of clarity regarding ‘what exactly leads to
what’ (Gerhart, 2005).
