Abstract

This project/research work deals with Impact of Job satisfaction on Workers Performance In Public Service in Nigeria.  A case Study of Ministry of Education, Enugu. We have probably all wondered at some time about the problems and poor performance among workers in public service in the County, Nigeria.  Some times there is continuous striking of workers to pass across their feeling to the government which has never brought solutions to such problems.  Specifically, the research intends to point out the important asset to any establishment – which is the people working for it.  To ensure that the workers are productive, there is need for job satisfaction into the works.  If an employee is satisfy with his or her job, this may increase productivity and with increase in productivity, the establishment or agency would be able to meet up with its goal/objectives.  This research is an insight into some managerial principles to guide an establishment or agency for effective operation using Ministry of Education, Enugu.

 

 

 CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

• Background of the study

According to Shilt (1990: 120)  “the most important asset to an establishment is not the amount of money it has in hand, building or other equipment, rather an establishment most prized assets are the people working for it “Ministry of Education, Enugu is set out to promote education, provide enabling environment for learning, reduce illiteracy, etc. in Enugu State.  To achieve these objectives the Ministry employed a good number of workforces.  To ensure that the workers are productive, the Ministry ensures that the workers have job satisfaction.  (Nnaukwu, 1999: 16). Indeed employees are what makes an establishment successful or unsuccessful, for this reason, government agency like Ministry of Education, Enugu would find it worthwhile to devote a great deal of attention and resources in ensuring job satisfaction among its  employee.  Utazi (1985: 40).
According to Enemadu, (1980: 16) in trying to improve the quality of Education in the State some key areas are given adequate attention when trying to encourage employees’ job satisfaction.  He maintained, if employee was satisfied with his or her job this may increase productivity and with increase in productivity, the agency (Ministry of Education, Enugu) would be able to meet its set objectives. On the other hand, productivity would be affected by how much as employee is satisfied with his or her job because job satisfaction then becomes an important single factor that affects productivity, Udom (1985:28). In the literature of organizational behavior and organizational psychology, job satisfaction is considered the most extensively researched area (Keung-Fai, 1996; George and Jones, 2008). The different ways of satisfying the employees were found by the scholars and facilitated to the human resource managers to attract, motivate and retained the most committed workforce. Job satisfaction has direct impact on level of absenteeism, commitment, performance and productivity. Furthermore, job satisfaction improves the retention level of employees and reduces the cost of hiring new employees (Murray, 1999). Alternatively, the outcome of job dissatisfaction is increase in the cost of recruitment, selection and training, discouragement of current employees and reduction in the growth of organization (Padilla-Velez, 1993). The dissatisfaction of the employees has adverse effect on the efficiency of the organization. So studying job satisfaction is one of the most important topics of organizations setup

• STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

One of the problems affecting job satisfaction is the will to work.  According to Stoney (1978: 55 – 56), a proper “people management” stimulates more and better work.  He further said that managers must know why employee act as they do and what social psychological factor motivate them. On this background the researcher wants to investigate impact of job satisfaction on worker performance in public service

• OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objectives of the study are;

1. To ascertain the impact of job satisfaction on worker performance in public service
2. To ascertain the important of job satisfaction in organization
3. To ascertain the relationship between job satisfaction and work performance in public service
4. To determine if area of specialization and actual work doing have an effect on level of job satisfaction
   • RESEARCH HYPOTHESES

For the successful completion of the study, the following research hypotheses were formulated by the researcher;

H₀: there is no impact of job satisfaction on worker performance in public service

H₁: there is impact of job satisfaction on worker performance in public service

H₀²: there is no important of job satisfaction in organization

H₂: there is important of job satisfaction in organization

• SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The findings of this study will shed more light on the aspect of labour relations, workers characteristics as well as satisfaction of workers within the framework of the organisation and to highlight some of the factors that brings about dissatisfaction. As would be realized lack of progressive atmosphere for the use of initiative in the workplace may result in low level of performance. Thus, this work on completion could be used to explain the performance of workers when allowed to take part in decision making process of the organization. It could be useful to general management, employers of labour and other researchers in designing job incentive plans for worker in order to increase their level of job satisfaction.

• SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
