A SURVEY ON EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES AND ITS EFFECT IN RESOLVING UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEMS IN NIGERIA

BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR THE STUDY: An organization makes use of a wide variety of resources, including monetary, natural, and human resources. Human resources continue to be the most crucial aspect of every business, and this is due to the fact that without them, it would be difficult to achieve the firm's goals, whether those goals are to complete the mission or to realize a particular vision (Mathias et al, 2021).

The human resource department is the heart and soul of every firm. The administration of all other resources, including those that are extremely important, falls within the purview of the human resource. According to Pattanayak (2021), human resource is sometimes referred to as the "life blood" of enterprises. "despite the use of technology in current company management, human resources are still relevant and the most adaptable resources of the corporation," they said with enthusiasm (Pattanayak, 2021).

Waterman understood that "the organization," which includes its people, culture, and capability, is a significant source of competitive advantages. The people themselves are the plan (Taylor, 2021). An improvement in a company's overall financial performance can be attributed to the successful execution of a plan for its human resources. Equally essential, a company's human resources are its most valuable capital, a fundamental touch with the consumers, and the key to the company's continued success (Taylor, 2021).

Human resources are essential to the success of every endeavor carried out inside a business, from the very first step to the very last. Consequently, in order for an organization to accomplish some of its objectives, it is necessary for that organization to not only guarantee that it will always have a sufficient and consistent supply of human resources, but also that those resources will be adequately motivated and effectively managed (Mathias et al, 2021).

According to what James said in Chukwu (2008), productive management of people is still the key to increased output, and the task of management is to encourage people to perform to the best of their capabilities. He asserted that organizations will be more successful than ever in achieving high levels of productivity by practicing efficient management of their human resources. This management can take the form of encouraging their employees and providing them with opportunities for professional development.

In addition, Ubeku in Nwachukwu (2002) went even further to say that even though the task of motivating workers is vested on the management team, the managers have more roles to play by providing the organization with a continuous day-to-day coaching, appraisal, and encouragement that the employee will need more than ever before. This is because the employee will be in a position where they will need to be motivated more than ever before.

According to Eze (2010, page 3), man has constructed organizations to cater to all elements of his needs and desires, both inside organizations and even within countries. These organizations exist to fulfill man's needs and aspirations. This necessitates that the resources that are at one's disposal be handled and utilized in the most efficient manner possible. An organization's human resources should be deployed and allocated effectively and efficiently so that they are available when and where they are required, and this is what is meant by "effective management of human resources." Planning, assigning, and maintaining a schedule for the use of available human resources are all components of human resource management.

A high rate of poverty, which is a direct outgrowth of unemployment, is one of the outcomes that have been seen as a direct result of inadequate management of human resources. Unemployment has become a big issue that plagues the lives of young people in Nigeria, leading to dissatisfaction, depression, and dependence on family members and friends who are also dealing with issues of their own (Taylor, 2021).
