Abstract
This study concerns human Resource Policy and its impact on staff motivation in Peugeot Automobile Nig limited (PAN).The researcher was attracted to write on this topic because of the increasing need for human resource capital in today’s organization. As the most important resource the work explains how specialists in this area should conduct their affairs in an organization. Naturally writing this project has forced us to face some of the most serious day to day problems encountered in the work place by human resource managers. Among these are fairly sensitive and conventional issues such as lack of Organizational commitment and the poor performance of public organization in particular. The education of 1870 in Great Britain resulted in the growth of a literate working class, which in turn became more receptive of the ideas of trade union and their activities in improving working conditions. In recent times human resources management activities have been on the increase and is aimed at bringing people and retaining them in the work place. This project tries to examine how human resource Policy covers these areas in Nigeria and the impact it has on employees’ motivation. The study further identifies vital areas of human relations contribution to the success of an organization. In this respect, the early works of some motivational theorists are examined. For instance, the hierarchy of needs by Abraham Maslow, the two-factor theory by Herzberg are discussed in this work. Primary and secondary data collection were principally the data collection techniques used in this research. The primary data has to do with meeting the respondents face to face through interview to get the preliminary sense of how people feel about the subject matter. Secondly data collection techniques on the other hand which is less expensive is used by collecting and collating already existing data for analysis. Findings reveal that a good human resources policy has a positive impact on employees’ motivation. The project is written in a way that it will appeal to the reader and especially the human resource practitioner. The researcher’s initial attempt is to give the uninitiated student a taste of some of the realities of working life, and to arouse his interest and capture his attention.
