BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The development of personnel management dates back to the period of World War I around the year 1915 and more recently to the human relations movement of 1935 – 1950.
In one of the studies of Elton mayor, he discovered that psychological factors as well as social factors influence individuals at work rather than physical factors.
Specific reasons for the development of personnel management include: -
(i) As a result of increasing influence of trade unions,
traditionally personnel administration took on the role of
pacifying the trade unions, so that management could be free
to run the companies without interference from employees.
(ii) The formulation of minimum wages low costs and individual legislations increased the need for a team of personnel specialties.
(iii) As the union became more sophisticated and powerful the
need for highly skilled individual relations should increase.
(iv) The increasing size of business, government and other
institutions brought new dimension into the profession of
personnel management. .
Traditionally, it was practiced in homes where the father is the head of the family. It was he who planned what the family should do, the type of farming, size and where to sell the harvested products. His wives and children helped in the process, no external recruitment was involved, so the more wives and children a man had, the more likely it was that the family be well-of. The recent practices of personnel management in Nigeria is tied up with history and development of the public services, private companies and civil services.
