| Summary: | Productivity is one of the most important factors affecting the overall performance of any organisation
whether large or small organisation. It is on the basis of this that the study assess the factors that
affect job-site productivity in Lagos State with consideration on recruitment policy, types of training
and factors that affect quality of workers and their contribution to the various organisations surveyed.
This is done through the self administration of 100 structured questionnaires to elicit information from
the respondents using convenience sampling method. The results showed that 64.7% of the
respondents used on the job training for their workers and 54.3% of the respondents conduct training
for their staff as required. Experience of workers was ranked 1st while age of workers was ranked 14th
out of 16 factors. Furthermore, improvements are needed in the areas of developing people (42%),
safety consciousness (34%) and planning effectiveness (26%). It is however suggested among others
that efforts should be made by the firms to invest in developing its work force (ability to select, train
and appraise personnel, set standard of performance) so that on the long run, this will yield positive
improvement on the overall productivity. |
