Abstract

The study examined contributory pension schemes and workers’ productivity in the University of Port Harcourt. The study was guided by three research questions. Relevant literature on the major variable under investigation was excavated. The paper was anchored on a life cycle theory. A descriptive research design was adopted for the study. Data were gathered through secondary and primary sources. The secondary data were sourced from textbooks, journal publications, newspaper publications, and university bulletins. The primary data were gotten from the researcher's personal observations and a self-made questionnaire structured on a four likert scale. Simple random sampling was used in the selection of a manageable sample size and the distribution of the researcher’s instrument to the respondents. The retrieved questionnaires were subjected to statistical analysis through the use of means and standard deviations. The criterion mean for decision making was at 2.5. That is, any mean above 2.5 is accepted while the alternative is rejected. The paper revealed that low coverage of the scheme, inadequacy of benefits from the pension scheme, poor awareness of contributory pension schemes, poor outreach of the management of pension schemes and non-compliance by the government are the major challenges bequeathing the contributory pension scheme at the Federal University of Port Harcourt.

Abstract

The study examined the impact of training and development on employees' performance in Epenal Group Ltd., Rivers State. Four (4) research questions guided the study. A descriptive design was adopted for the paper. A sample of 300 workers, consisting of 38 dredging workers, 55 security officers, 46 staff from the piling unit, 45 from civil construction, 56 from pipeline construction, 44 boat builders, and 16 equipment leases, was drawn using random quota sampling. The instrument used for the study was a self-structured questionnaire developed by the researcher. The instrument was validated by experts, and a reliability coefficient of 0.75 was obtained using Pearson’s product moment correlation. The data collected was analysed using the mean and standard deviation. The results revealed a high influence of training and development on employees’ performance. The study found that on-the-job and off-the-job training influence the productivity of employees. The study also established that training and development positively influence employees’ job knowledge and the work quality of employees. It was recommended that employers should have compulsory training programmes for all employees in order to improve their knowledge and understanding of annual business strategy and objectives. Employees should be provided with effective training (on-the-job and off-the-job training) in order to reduce the time spent by managers on supervising employees. Employees should be provided with more training programmes in order to reduce the cost of recruiting and training new staff members.
