THE EFFECTIVENESS OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND SURVIVAL OF PARASTALALS IN NIGERIA.

Abstract
Goals and objectives, human resources, and the community, are an integral part of any organisation. For Human Resource Management to be effective, organisational goals and objectives must be achieved, human resource needs met, and the expectations of the community considered and served. The cries of parastatals for more funding from government, the clamor for better conditions of service and basic working rights by human resources, and. the push from communities for better consideration by parastatals, pricked the researcher's curiosity to determine whether the three scenarios in Human Resource Management of - organisation, human resources and community - are been smoothly interwoven, and whether the present status quo ensures the survival of parastatals now and beyond. Data for the research was collected using, relevant literature, government publications, official documents, newsletters/bulletins, questionnaires and personal interviews. In analyzing collected data, the percentage of responses each alternative against the total responses for the quest were taken. The response percentage for all questions were interpreted. The four hypothesis guiding the research were then analysed and interpreted. Findings at the end of the research have shown that, parastatals have the requisite human resources to achieve their goals and objectives. Existing compensation policies, training and development programmes, employee safety and health policies, and relationship with labour are inadequate, Attitudes towards communities leave much to be desired. That parastatals have the capacity to survive now and beyond. Conclusively, parastatals in Nigeria are meeting their set goals and objectives, human resource needs are not satisfied, and communal expectations are not adequately served. In other words, Human Resource Management in Nigerian parastatals is not effective, though they have the potential (if well managed) to survive.
