Abstract

The most important and valuable organizational and institutional resource in both public and private services is the employee. This is primarily because, without the employee commitment, all other resources will be dormant. Against this backdrop, this study examined the impact of the reward systems on employee commitment in the Delta State Civil Service Commission, Asaba using useful primary and secondary data sources. We discovered that intrinsic and extrinsic rewards have a significant impact on employee commitment in the Delta State Civil Service Commission, Asaba. This finding is significant because it shows that the only way to engineer the civil service to play its crucially essential and facilitating role in the State's political and socioeconomic development is through the creation and secured intrinsic and extrinsic reward systems that are systematically planned and scientifically implemented. The study concluded that the Delta State Civil Service Commission, Asaba needs both intrinsic and extrinsic reward systems to foster greater employee commitment. Based on this finding, we recommended among others that Delta State Civil Service Commission's reward systems should be subject to modification to suit social conditions or changing circumstances in the society. This underscores the fundamental logic underpinning the many international initiatives launched by multinational corporations in Nigeria to promote organizational effectiveness, which assumes that management will pursue employees’ happiness voluntarily in the absence of robust organizational regulations and strict enforcement.

Abstract

The goals that guided this study focused on the distinctive role that a skilled workforce played in achieving governmental objectives. Similar to other state civil services in Nigeria, the Delta State Civil Service was established to carry out governmental directives. The Delta State Government has struggled with subpar policy implementation over the years. In light of this, this study investigated the impact of knowledge-based human resource management policies on organizational citizenship behaviour in the Delta State Civil Service Asaba, Nigeria. These policies include recruitment and selection based on knowledge, training and development based on knowledge, performance evaluation based on knowledge, and compensation based on knowledge. By using the systematic random sampling technique, questionnaires were distributed to employees at the Delta State Civil Service Commission in Asaba, the state capital, in order to meet the study's objectives. This study used a sample size of 153 respondents and a survey research design. With the help of SPSS software version 23.0, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data collected. Out of the 153 questionnaires distributed to respondents, 129 were retrieved and analyzed, accounting for 84.3% of the total copies distributed. The findings demonstrate, among other things, that knowledge-based human resource management policies (recruitment and selection, training and development, performance evaluation, and compensation) have a significant positive impact on organizational citizenship behaviour in the Delta State Civil Service Asaba, Nigeria. The study comes to the conclusion that by enhancing organizational knowledge and encouraging knowledge creation, human resource management affects organizational citizenship behaviour. The study recommends among others that Delta State Civil Service should make sure that its knowledge-based human resource management policies are such that support employees' civic behaviour and are capable of inspiring and retaining qualified workers for improved performance.

Abstract

This paper investigates the issue of incorporating traditional rulers into Nigeria's modern local government system with the goal of resolving issues that arise from the interface of tradition and modernity in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State. This theoretical paper draws its arguments primarily from secondary sources of data, such as existing legal frameworks and other associated policies, journal publications, and textbooks. This paper shows how traditional leadership institutions strategically used decentralized governance policy reforms to reestablish themselves as the mainstay in grassroots politics. This review is placed within the framework of the debate over the worth of traditional leadership institutions, in the twin processes of democratic transformation and decentralized governance. While the opposing side of the debate dismisses them as mere impediments, the other contends that they are assets that can be used to effectively domesticate reforms, because traditional leaders exhibit ethical principles such as political transparency, accountability, and probity. While research finding showed that traditional leaders possess the capacity to play an advisory role in efforts to institutionalize and customize reforms to the necessities of the community but their poor material circumstances make them unanimously readily available targets for politicians intent on fulfilling their own intended political objectives. The paper thus recommended, among other things, that local government actors and traditional authorities in Warri South Local Government Area should see one another as partners in progress and foster mutual respect and understanding. They must be aware that they cannot function in a watertight compartment and should therefore be cooperative and tolerant.
