Abstract
This research study is on "The Role of Personnel
Management in Industrial Development: The Case of
Peugeot Assembly of Nigeria, Kaduna:!
# It analyses the
hypotheses of the study, which are: (a) That efficient
labour management relations gives rise to high labour
productivity which is a necessary though not sufficient
condition, for industrial growth and development,
(b) That a high rate of monetary reward or payment alone
constitutes enough motivation or incentive to the worker
to offer his optimum productivity.
The study has also sought to examine whether or not there
is positive effect on Nigeria's rate of technological
development resulting from any peculiarities of the Nigerian
worker*s attitude to work, which has often been subjectively
and unfavorably referred to in some quarters as lazy and
unpatriotic
The result of the study has positively proved the
hypothesis that efficient labour management relations gives
rise to high labour productivity© The experience of the
study however, negatively contests the second hypothesis
and it may be relevant to state that a percentage rise in
pay does not necessarily give rise to a corresponding
rise in productivity0 The rise in productivity was found
to be related to other variables including socio-economic
and psychological incentives provided by the industry to
the workers at a particular period in time* It has also
been revealed that the Nigerian worker has no abnormal
lab our attitudinal peculiarities which cannot be regulated
by modern personnel management techniques, However, the
study has identified that faulty educational planning and
the misplacement of development priorities have contributed
towards the retardation of Nigeria4s rate of technological
development
The study has, as a matter of interest, attempted to
examine and relate to the reality and relevance of
technology transfer as a means of technological development
which has been the vulnerable approach by successive
Nigerian governments* The concept of technology transfer
has been revealed by the study to be cosmetic and not a
real approach to technological or industrial development
contrary to the notion held in certain quarters that
technology transfer constitutes a lucrative development
strategy.
