2.0 LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE
The most effective strategy to improve manpower productivity is to devout resources for its development. Manpower is an important asset organization can leverage on for success and gain competitive edge in the turbulence environment in which the organization operates. Human resources is a key player in actualization of organization goals, it combine others resources together to achieve organizational set goals.
Development of the organizational manpower is a dynamic and evolving practice
used to enhance organizational performance. Manpower development focused on turning out human resource that is needed for effective performance in the organization (Drucker, 2021). It focuses on equipping employees with new techniques that will enable them to perform effectively and efficiently (Lawal, 2019).
Emeti (2020) believes that performance should be measured since it helps to monitor employees and provide feedback information for management. Daleney and Huselid (2018) were of the opinion that organizational performance has to do with quality of service or product rendered, employees productivity and retention as well as the level at which the organization satisfies its customers. Bontis, Dragonetti, Jacobsen and Roos (2019) opined that, human resources of an organization have the capacity to bring innovative and creative ideas to the organization which is capable of bringing long term survival of the organization if well managed and motivated. Manpower is the basis of all resources use, it is the indispensable means of converting other resources to man kind’s use and benefits. So how well we employ and develop human resources skills is fundamental in deciding how much will accomplish as a nation, man power is plot of every human institution. The concept of manpower development emerged as a strategy to enhance the capacity of available employees in organization in order to improve performance and productivity.
Agwu and Ogiriki (2019) were of the opinion that manpower development is the integrated use of training and development to improve effectiveness in organization.
Different studies have been carried out to consider the effect of manpower development on organizational performance (Agwu and Ogiriki, 2014; Rizov and
Croucher, 2008; Shih, Chiang and Hsu, 2006; among others). Despite the establishment of these scholars that manpower development leads to increase in productivity and performance, managers still pay little or no attention to manpower development but focus more on other resource. This practice renders organizations in Nigeria ineffective.
Egwunyenga (2019), observed that lack of manpower development results into maladministration and underperformance of the employees. Based on these assertions, it becomes pertinent to investigate the effect of manpower development.
2.2 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
HUMAN CAPITAL THEORY
The study is based on Human Capital Theory. This theory was proposed by Schultz in the year 2020.The theory argues that a person’s formal education determines his or her earning power. Human capital theory holds that it is the key competences, skills, knowledge and abilities of the workforce that contributes to organisations competitive advantage. It focuses attention on resourcing, human resource development, and reward strategies and practices. According to Human Capital Theory, education is an investment because it is believed that it could potentially bestow private and social benefits. Human capital theorists believe that is relationship between education and earning power, which means, theoretically, that the more education one has, the more one can earn, and that the skills, knowledge and abilities that education provides can be transferred into the work in terms of productivity (Dae-bong, 2019).
2.2.1 CONCEPT OF MANPOWER DEVELOPMENT
According to Schults (1993), definitions of manpower have shown some essential elements in enhancing organisations resources and help employees to improve productive of the business or organisation. In order to endure business effectiveness in organisations, the manpower becomes an asset and instrument used to grow productivity. This implies that manpower development could lead to better employees’ productivity and ultimately improve organisation productivity. Rastogi (2002) stated that manpower is an important resource for organisations especially for employees’ continuous improvement of knowledge, skills and abilities. Armstrong (2004) posited that human resource development is concerned with the provision of learning, development and training opportunities in order to improve individual, team and organisational performance.
Manpower Is intended to plan a range of activities and business workforce which can managers in the organization, and in cooperation and coordination with all organizational levels to identify, analyze, and assess and evaluate the need of the Organization of the labor force, which responds to the organization's aims and objectives related to the employees of the organization by short-term and medium strategies and long-term.
