Background Of The Study
In spite various government interventions and efforts; the Nigerian public sector’s score-card has remained poor performance and inefficiency. Considering the important role of training and development in bringing the Nigerian public service to an enviable height, if those that are expected to execute policies of the government and manage public affairs are not well trained and knowledgeable, there would definitely be a problem.
Obviously the achievement of the objectives for which they were employed might be affected. As the popular Adage says, “If a naked man promises you clothes, ask him which one”.
Where the human capital is not planned, organizations will be confronted with the inability to deliver quality service, inability to attract and retain the people required and difficulty in the development and training of highly talented personnel. Training on the Job and some form of in-service training are examples of training being designed or intended to develop the knowledge or expertise, greater confidence and a higher degree of performance. The principal intention of training is to equip people with the knowledge required to qualify them for a particular position of employment or to improve their skills and efficient in the position they already hold.
Civil servant development, on the hand, implies growth and the acquisition of wide experience for future strategies advantage of the organization.
Training is therefore a key element for improved organizational effectiveness; it increases the level of individual and organizational competences. It helps to reconcile the gap between what should happen and what is happening – between desired targets or standards and actual levels of work performance. Thus the study focuses on the impact of training and development on civil servant productivity in the public sector in Nigeria. With a case study of the impact of training and development on civil servant productivity in Ogun state public service.
1.2 Statement Of The Problem
The concept of civil servant productivity and of continuous civil servant productivity remains a critical factor for the continuous development of the public service In Nigeria. However in spite of numerous efforts of government through training and retraining, the goal is still far from being reached.
Civil servant productivity in terms of quality output of goods and services remain fundamental for the development of the public service and the economy at large in Nigeria.
Therefore training and development must be a continuous program as a means of enhancing the acquisition and improvement of new skill and knowledge. But the problem that lies shows that the cost incurred in training and development is not yielding the commensurate results. therefore it is pertinent to evaluate the nature of our training and development program with a view to determining its impact on civil servant productivity. Therefore the problem confronting this research is to evaluate the impact of training and development policy on civil servant productivity in the public service with a case appraisal of the impact of training and development policy in the Ogun state public service.
