CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Corporate survival has been the most interesting topics for organizations over the years. Organizations exist to survive during environmental factors that tend to encroach on business performance. Organizations attempt to maintain the existing, but essentially the larger part of their efforts is tilted toward survival (Mindy, 1998). The competition in the industry is getting stronger and firms are adopting different strategies to be competitive in the industry. Surviving in the global struggle to meet with increasing demand on firms in the market place has seen many researchers and academicians having a resort to pay attention to the individual employees in the organization since innovation in product and services are brought about by these individuals.
However, in the review of past studies, despite the level of work that has been done, only few studies try to discuss some specific aspects of employee participation that can affect survival of organizations. It is the net satisfaction of all constituents in the process of gathering and transforming inputs into outputs in an efficient manner (Matthew, Grawhich and Barber 2009). One of the ways an organization can be effective is by practicing corporate social responsibility.
Organizational Survival has to do with accomplishment standard of accuracy, completeness, cost and speed. Performance is seemed to be the fulfillment of an obligation in a manner that releases the performer from all liabilities under the contract. This means that an employee must be properly, evaluated in term of their productivity, skills taken decision and total commitment to their job so as to enable the organization to achieved expected goals (Kuvaas, 2006).
The human resource system can become more effective by having a valid and accurate appraisal policy used for rating performances of the employees. Unfortunately, in Nigeria today, the number of organizations using an effective performance appraisal policy is limited (Yalcin, 2002).
Human resource has been subject of thought and reflection in the field of management for a long time, only recently, however that the link between organizational competitiveness and human resource development issues, seem to have received attention, where human development has developed different approaches, in identifying the benefit of the perception against the traditional human resource management, which is a drive towards a development Aniagbo (1984).
Human resource is now evolving approach that promotes the use of human, natural and financial resources to improve the economy, the environment and society in an integrated way for the benefit of current and future generations.
Human resource can be defined as the practice of reserving resources for future generation without any harm to the nature and other components of it. Apple (1998) human resource development ties together concern for the carrying capacity of natural systems with the social, political, and economic challenges faced by humanity human resource science is the study of the concepts of human resource development and environmental science. There is an additional focus on the present generations responsibility to regenerate maintain and improve planetary resources for use by future generations.
The greatest asset of any organization is its human resources that ensure that achievement of the company’s goals and objective (source: Human resource Article 2012) it is unfortunate that most company’s organization have neglected the development and management of their chief asset which is human resource Ogbodo (2007). According to Ubeku, (1995) human development is the function within an organization that focused on recruitment of management and providing direction for the people who work in the organization. It is also a strategic and comprehensive approach of managing people and the work place culture and environment Ubeku, (1995). Effective human resource management enables employees to contribute effectively and productively to the overall company direction and the accomplishment of the organization’s goals and objectives Fatunla, (2000). Human resources development is administrative activities associated with human resources planning, recruitment selection orientation training appraisal motivation and also a functions within an organization that focuses on people Graham, (1994).
In recent years, it has been noted that good number of business establishment are having poor productivity as a result of lack of effective and efficient human resource. Business is full of uncertainty and the understanding of labour contribution or human resources development is vital for management especially in the areas of boosting employee job performance, productivity and as well its profitability Ubeku, (1995).
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS

The management of some organization does not seem to know the importance of training and development on organizational survival Ubeku, (1995). Some management believes that if workers have acquired education, there is no need to train again. Provisions of welfare facilities are not given adequate attention in some organization despite many policies being put in place to ensure workers productivity and efficiency and to possibly stamp out ethical practices in the public sector especially.
