Thesis Overview

<p> </p><div><p><strong>INTRODUCTION</strong><br><strong>1.1 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; </strong><strong>Background To The Study</strong><br>Consequent upon the myriad of changes which have beclouded the operations of modern business organisations in recent times, including the fundamental and core changes in the nature of work and organisations, the dynamic nature of the competitive environment and the need to ensure a convergence of shareholders interests in the way the organisations are run, a need for new approaches in human resources management has arisen.<br>The paradigm shift, in other words, includes “total”. Put differently, total quality management. This means that everyone in the organisation must be involved in the continuous improvement effort. The concept quality indicates a concern for consumer satisfaction. Management on the other hand refers to the people and processes needed to achieve the quality<br>(Aragon, 2003).<br>Subsequently, reward management deals generally with the handling of workers needs, drives and motivations in a way that will elicit the desired behavior from employees. This becomes more reasonable going by the submission of Brian Tracy (a world class management expert) in Omotosho,<br>(2002) that an average worker will only put in 40% – 50% of his capacity to any job-function at a point in time.</p><p></p></div><h3></h3><br> <br><p></p>
