Impact of human resource development and organizational commitment on financial sector employees in Nigeria

Summary/Abstract: Studies have shown that for any organization to achieve enhanced service delivery and profitability; competent employees are required. In this regard, human resource development (HRD) of an organization could be seen as strategy to improve the capacity of employees, bring about organizational commitment (OC) and promote performance. The paper empirically examines the impact of HRD and OC on financial sector employees in Nigeria. Findings show a strong impact of HRD and OC on performance of employees. In addition, literature reveals the need to tackle the issue of unethical behaviour (corruption) amongst banks’ staff at all levels as basis to eliminate failure and bring about enhanced performance in the Nigerian banking sector. The paper therefore recommend among others the enforcement of stiffer penalty for bank employees found engaging in unethical practices as a way of overcoming the challenge of unethical behaviour of staff for sustainable growth in Nigeria.
