CHAPTER ONE

1.0 INTRODUCTION 
This project entitled “training and motivation as a tool for improving employee’s performance” is centered on one of the challenges currently facing both scholars and practitioners in the field of administration. In this research work power holding company of Nigeria (PHCN) Plc is chosen as a case study.

1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY 
Today it is worthy to appreciate the fact that training and motivation of employees for increase performance has become a serious administrative problems facing most organizations.
Where as this is one of the basic criteria for measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of an organization.
Organization are said to be effective if the predetermined objectives and the expectations of both the organization and the employee are fulfilled.
The ultimate goal of every organization is to realize its predetermined objectives these objectives cannot be achieved successfully and effectively without the employees putting in their best. For the objectives to be achieved effectively and efficiently the management must ensure that employee are given the appropriate training and the necessary motivations to enable them work harder.
Many organizations especially power holding company of Nigeria have developed training programmes of various purpose for their employees. The most crucial responsibility of every management today is that of “training and motivation” directed towards improving employees performance. In the other words the success to achieve the targeted results in an organization is majority dependent on the quality of human resources in that organization. This is factual in the sense that human resources is the active agent of resources is the active agent of any organization while finance and other non human resources are passive agent so it is the human resources that combine the passive agents for the attainment of the organization objectives or results. The human resources as an active agent of any organization cannot as a matter of fact get the targeted goals of that organization accomplished unless training and motivation are put in place as appropriate machineries to enhance the employee performance.
Training is an organizational effort aimed at helping an employee to acquire basic skills required for efficient execution of functions for which he/she was hired it is an organized procedure by which new manipulative skills technical knowledge and problems solving abilities are acquired.
Most organizations tend to ignore employee training on their bid to maximize profit little such organizations know that this practice is to their own peril (Emma Chukwuemka 2007:73)
Motivation is a term derived from a latin word “Movere” meaning to move but today the word means more than that it has to do with skills resulting from training. But this employee interest and those of the organization are aligned so that behaviour results in achievement of employee wants with the attainment of organizational objectives are smoothly net.
On this note the researcher felt that it is of crucial important to carryout a research to uncover how best a work can be trained and motivated to improve his/her performance using power holding company of Nigeria Enugu zonal headquarters as a case study my choice is greatly influenced by the large number of employees of the organization. More so the organization is deeply involve in administrative activities, which is the Fukrum of this academic exercise.
This will to a large extent make this research work serve some useful purpose to many organizations with both small medium and large number of employees.

1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS 
The problems of both public and private organization in Nigeria is mainly centered on negative attitude to work lack of interest in one’s job low productivity high incidence of accidents in the work place insubordination and general low morale among the workers.
Nevertheless the researcher feels that the above listed problems are the resultant effects/consequences that bedevil any organization whose management is not able to pay priority attention to the development of training programmes and motivation incentives for her employees.
However the problems of the study is majority on how training and motivation could be harnessed in an organization to increase productivity.
