slugTraining and Manpower Development in Public Research and Development Organizations
Journal Title: International Journal of Academic Research in Management - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
The study examined the policies, effectiveness and the constraints to training and manpower development (TMD) in public research and development (R&D) organizations in southwest Nigeria for enhanced performance. Data from a study of twenty-two (22) public R&D organizations in the study area was used in this paper. Findings showed that Public R&D has high scientific R&D content and requires availability of highly qualified manpower who could handle very sophisticated equipment and processes. Funding and training policy decision posed major constraints to TMD. The study concluded that while some may argue that government’s development plan should map the direction of training and research. It is equally important that every stakeholder including management be involved in training policy decision. The study recommended the development of a proactive approach to TMD in Nigeria.
