The Nigerian local government system is also facing acute
financial crisis despite the receipt of 20 percent and 35 percent from
the federation account and Vat respectively . Majority of industrial
conflicts in local government today boarders on unpaid salary and fringe
benefits and lack of adequate inceptive. This projects is led to
investigate the fundamental question of work value in Local Government
Work has lost its challenges to many workers at the local government
level since there is non-availability of funds to take care of their
needs. In the face of this, how can we talk about productivity when the
local government cannot motivate its workers to work? Consequently the
following research questions are pertinent guide for the study.
What are the various motivation techniques? How effective are this instrument of productivity in local government?
How can local government work force as a non-profit organization can be productive?
What would the government do to make career in local government service is attractive?
How can the staff of the local government be made productive like their counterpart in private organizations?
1.3OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The specific objectives of this research work are as follows:
· To identify the factors that causes low productivity in Surulere local government.
·
To highlight the consequences and implication of a due motivated staff
to social and economic development of Surulere Local Government
· To suggest the importance of Staff welfare scheme to productivity.
·
To suggest practice measures on how to improve on the staff welfare, if
need be, of the personnel of the Surulere local government council.
1.4HYPOTHESES FORMULATION
In line with the research questions raised above the following hypotheses are formulated.
The more motive a worker is the more productive an organization is.
The more job satisfaction a workforce gets the more productive it becomes.
The more focused the goals and objectives of an organization the more the workforce will achieve its goals.
1.5LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
Since
the information available on government activities is always scanty and
fragmentary it may be difficult and at times, even unfair, to draw
general conclusions. In the first place, there is no plan setting out in
clear terms the objectives and goals to be achieved by Surulere local
government. Secondly there are some problems regarding the laying down
of standards of government activities against which actual performance
is to be measured and compare. Thirdly it has not been easily to collect
data from government organizations and other related agencies operating
in the same locality and providing service of similar nature, so as to
give an indication of relative efficiency and effectiveness of different
service agencies. Views expressed here would therefore be regarded as
suffering from these basic constraints and imperfections.
1.6JUSTIFICATION OF STUDY
There
is no doubt that the reforms of local government system currently going
on the Obasanjo led administration is due to the inefficiency and
ineffectiveness of actualizing its goals and objectives as a third tier
government. The gravity of they situation could be seen from the huge
resources so far pumped into the local government system (20 percent and
35 percent from the federation account and VAT respectively) and the
mal-administration at the grass root level where corruption and
ineptitude by workers have become the order of the day. The consequences
of all these on the national political life is certainly grievous.
In
a development country like Nigeria, which is seriously searching for
economic growth and development allowing the workforce demolished due to
non payment of salary and compensation in the local government system,
would likely not only make it difficult to get out of the conditions of
underdevelopment but also hinder the attainment of the much cherished
stable polity that can allow for the development of the grass roots the
absence of concise study of the problem of unproductively in local
government service which could provide appropriating ground for a policy
design and a possible invention programme is a matter of concern. Here
lies the significance of this study and it justification, which is
basically to generate knowledge in this problem area and attempt to
proffer solutions.
