Abstract:
The study is on human resource development and employee performance: A study of Idemili South local government council of Anambra State (2006-2014). The underlying motive for the study is the recurring problem of low productivity in the local government council and its consequences on developmental initiatives of the local government. The broad objective of the study is to examine the escapades of human resource development on employee performance in Idemili South local government council of Anambra State. Three hypotheses were formulated as guide to the study. The study adopted the human capital development theory propounded by Theodore Schultz in 1961 as the theoretical framework. Survey research design was adopted for the study and data were obtained through primary and secondary sources. The population of the study is 285 made up of the entire staff of the local government council. Generated data were collated and analyzed using simple percentage while the Chi- square x2statistical tool was used to test the hypotheses formulated for the study. Findings show that there is a relationship between staff training and the output of the staff of Idemili South local government council and that career counseling affects employee commitment to the realization of organizational goals and that human resource development affects motivation in Idemili South local government council. The study recommended among others that since there is a relationship between staff training and output of the staff, there is the need for the management of the local government to institute measures to ensure that all staff were made aware of and had adequate knowledge of its training policy. All fora must be used to disseminate the policy to all staff. At best the staff training policy could be made available to staff at the time of recruitment and emphasized during annual and union meetings.
