This project is an appraisal of human
resources management in the Nigeria construction industry. The
aims and object of the study included the identification of the
methods adopted for managing human resources in the industry
here in Nigeria. The scope was however limited to human
resources recruitment, selection, training and development. To
achieve these aims and objectives a field survey was carried out
covering fire construction firms. A questionnaire was used to
collect data from the subject of the study. The data was used to
answer the research hypotheses on the recruitment and training
methods adopted in the industry. The analysis of the data reveals,
among others, that construction firms practice a decentralized
system of recruitment, that the on the job training was the most
adapted method by construction firms, and that the major
criteria for selecting applicants for construction jobs were the
academic qualifications and experience, and performance at
interview and tests. Based on these findings, the study concluded
that the methods adopted were limited in scope, and there was
slow level of professionalism within industry.

Training and Development Practices and Employees’ Performance in Selected Man...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
Managing workforce diversity in manufacturing organisations has been a problem all over the world including Nigeria. Manufacturing organisations in Nigeria continue to experience occasional drop in performance due to employees’ apathy and non-challant attitudes as a result of high level of dissatisfaction caused by inadequate attention to training and development practices. This study assessed the relationships between training and development practices and employees’ performance in selected manufacturing companies in Nigeria. A cross sectional survey research design was employed, and out of the 1,568 copies of questionnaire that were administered proportionally in the selected manufacturing companies, 1,153 copies were retrieved and found useful. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and the hypotheses were tested using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The results of the findings show f-statistics of 223.717 and so, there is a significant relationship between training and development practices and employees’ performance among Nigerians working in the selected manufacturing companies. Also, f-statistics of 244.391 shows a significant relationship between training and development practices and employees’ performance among other nationals in the selected MNCs. The study concluded that there are significant relationships between training and development practices and employees’ performance in selected manufacturing MNCs in Nigeria.
The rapid trend of changes and social issues in managing the global workforce has forced organizations to look for innovative ways of enhancing the job satisfaction of employees. Among these innovative approaches is the provision of Flexible Working Arrangements (FWAs). The purpose of this exploratory research was to identify the effects of FWAs, i.e., flextime schedule, compressed workweek, and telecommuting on job satisfaction from the perspective of the Ethiopian national employees of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in Addis Ababa. To achieve this objective both descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted. The total population of the study was 250; out of which, 71% of responses were collected. A primary data collection method was implemented using a structured questionnaire. The analysis showed that there is significant positive effect of flextime schedule (R = .39, R2 = .264, p = .001) and compressed workweek (R = .39, R2 = .159, p = .039). This means that increase in the use of flextime schedules and compressed workweek enhances job satisfaction for employees of the ECA in Addis Ababa. The independent variables reported R = .39 and R2 = .15 which means that 15% of corresponding variations in employee job satisfaction can be explained by flexible working arrangements. Nevertheless, this study found out that there are no significant relationship of telecommuting (R = .39, R2 = .065, p = .398) on job satisfaction. Therefore, since the provision of FWAs is at the nascent stage, further studies on the effect of telecommuting on job satisfaction from Ethiopian employees context are highly recommended.

Assessing the Effectivenessof the Integrated Quality Management System (Iqms)...QUESTJOURNAL
ABSTRACT: The empirical analysis generally showed that the implementation of the Integrated Quality Management System is not effective at the College as management needs to ensure that performance management is conducted properly for improved results. The study suggests that the College should ensure that employee’s day-to-day activities are aligned to the organisation’s objectives. In addition, the staff development programmes should be informed by the output from performance evaluation to address barriers which hinder effective curriculum delivery. This study explored the understandings, views and experience of the academics of the College in the implementation of the Integrated Quality Management System. The general observation is that the system is not effectively implemented at the College. Continuous poor work at the College shows that performance management is not effectively implemented. The study was conducted using a questionnaire to gather data that was then analysed to produce findings through given objectives. The findings were then used to come up with strategies for effective implementation for academic growth that will hopefully improve the throughput and certification rates. The empirical analysis generally showed that the implementation of the Integrated Quality Management System is not effective at the College as management needs to ensure that performance management is conducted properly for improved results.
The document summarizes findings from case studies conducted at 8 Malaysian Polytechnics on their maintenance management practices. The case studies identified several common problems faced - poor maintenance planning, limited budgets, incompetent staff, and defects taking too long to repair. All 8 Polytechnics still used conventional, paper-based systems for maintenance management. While some implemented basic ICT like inventory databases and email for complaints, none had fully computerized maintenance management systems. The findings aim to help Polytechnics improve their practices to deliver higher quality facilities and safer, healthier environments for students.
