CHAPTER
ONE
INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
Employer
provides work for employees just as employee on the other hand enables
organization and nation to provide or produce goods and services for the
ultimate benefit of mankind (O’ Donnell 2000).
This
is essentially in the nation building process.
When goods are provided and services rendered, economy benefits also
come to play. According to an abstract
of employment, employers pays workers for productivity and services. This is of a symbolic advantage because just
as employee help employers to make profit, the employer also give wages and
salaries to employees to enable them meet their personal and domestic
aspirations.
Fairly
to pay wages and salaries has resulted in very important conflict in labour and
management relation. Therefore, wages
and salaries according to Mackenzie is the most significant reward that would
assist them to have a good standard of living.
Wages
and salaries are used as motivational factors or strategies (Micheal A.
2005). This is explain by piece: rate
system which allows payment of wages in relation to job done, in addition,
people have been seen to converse for work in organization, wages and salaries
are no charitable grant by organization but a significant aspect of the right
of worker in the productivity process.
Payment must be made for job done by labour. Profit made should not only be for growth and
development of companies while workers suffer physically and economically.
The
idea of national minimum wage is based on the understanding of the fact that
there must be a border line under which employers must not fall in the payment
of salaries and wages to workers who need to maintain a living standard.
STATEMENT
OF PROBLEM
This
research is carried out to evaluate wages and salaries administration on the
performance of Nigeria civil service in Nigeria. Despite the services rendered by the public
sector, salary increment is still a problem.
The agitation for more salary is still on because of increasing level of
standard of living. The global economic
crisis also has brought about the agitation for salary increment and this is
the reason for almost all the industrial action being embarked by personnel
working in Nigeria civil service.
In
the case of salary increment, my research also recorded poor performance in Nigeria
civil service. This means that the
services rendered are not commensurate to the money been paid an employee. For instance even when there is increment for
worker in Nigeria civil service, we still notice inadequate performance, this
is applicable to all parastatals like water board, education sector, power
holding company of Nigeria etc. with all this increment, why is the performance
in Nigeria civil service still poor?
Could
it be that wages and salaries administration are defective? Then this research
work intend to find out the influence of wages and salaries administration in Nigeria
civil service.

SCOPE
OF THE STUDY
This
research work conducted to examine the possible relationship between wages and

The
major research work also highlights some of the major important sector for
improving the quality of policy of wages and salaries in Nigeria civil service. Hence it is not a comprehensive study of the
whole parastatals. The study has been
retrieved to some selected areas of the parastatals salary administration using
the Human Resources Management Department.

civil service and from other sources.
