Human Resource Management and Development for Effective Implementation of Organizational Objectives: A Case of Akoko Edo Local Government, IGARRA
Abstract
This study examines the role of Human Resource Management and Development (HRM&D) in the effective implementation of organizational objectives, using Akoko Edo Local Government, Igarra as a case study. The research emphasizes that human resources remain the most critical asset for achieving efficiency, productivity, and sustainable growth in public sector organizations. Despite the strategic importance of HRM&D, many local government authorities in Nigeria continue to face challenges such as inadequate staff training, poor motivation, ineffective performance appraisal, and weak manpower planning, which hinder the attainment of their organizational goals. A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and interviews administered to staff of Akoko Edo Local Government. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools. The findings revealed a significant relationship between effective human resource management practices—such as training and development, motivation, and performance evaluation—and the successful implementation of organizational objectives. The study concludes that improved HRM&D practices enhance employee performance and organizational effectiveness. It recommends that Akoko Edo Local Government should invest more in continuous staff training, adopt transparent promotion and appraisal systems, and strengthen motivational incentives to improve service delivery and achieve its developmental objectives.
