CHAPTER ONE
1.1
Background of the study
The association between employer and employee
performance has received justifiably much attention from researchers, managers,
policy makers and consultants. This is because managerial strategies have been
recognized as a panacea for productivity and effective performance of workers
in organizations.
Faiza and Shamin (2010) argued that for any
organisation, employees are considered as assets. Then their utilization in
terms of better productivity and enhanced performance is the main focus of all
managerial activities. This is so because they make critical difference between
success and failure, and the success will depend on effective development,
motivation, involvement of staffs in decision making and planning and effective
communication. Stephanie and Jean (2011), opines that alignment of strategic
vision to employee productivity is a key contributor to the success of
organisation. This alignment encourages and stimulates employees creativity so
that they can perform more effectively to realize the organizational goals and
objectives. Also a synergistic effort of employees’ work effort, along with
management best business practices that align with the vision, would yield a
positive result for an organisation especially manufacturing industries.
Weihrich, Cannice and Koontz (2008), the aim of managers is that they must
increase productivity and the urgent need for productivity improvement is
recognized around the world by industries. They also contributed that one looks
to find answers to our productivity problem but tends to over look the
importance of effectively performing basic managerial and non managerial
activities. Ukong (2011) defined productivity as the output-input ratio within
a time period with due consideration for quality. Strategies which organisation
adopts to increase productivity should be focused on management functions such
as planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling of employees in the
organisation to boost productivity. On the other hand, Jean (2011), says that
strategic vision is mutually depend on the development of a business strategy
to sustained competitive advantage to ensure an enduring health of the business
and employee must be encouraged to increase their productivity. This means that
managers should manage based on methodical management principles and should be
supportive to their employees. Support from manager will boost employee’s
morale and lead them to autonomy through the implement of an effective communication
and engagement of the employees in the decision making process.
Matthew (2010), says that set of goals policies,
rules and programmes which an organisation set to achieve the broad vision of
the organisation are strategies and this strategies will positively enhance
employee productivity through carefully administration and implementation of
those strategies into staff planning, motivation, training and performance
appraisal and promotion. This is so because the interval strength of an
organisation depends on the work force and how bets they can help organisation
benchmark and compete favourably or have an edge over the threats in the
environment.
Therefore, the researcher is interest in examining
the impact of managerial strategies on staff productivity in selected
manufacturing enterprise in Calabar Metropolis.
