Abstract

Human resources development is undoubtedly a key aspect of an organization’s drive for advancement and sustainability. This paper examined the impact of human resources development on organizational productivity in the Rivers State Civil Service Commission between 2010-2022. The Human Relations Theory was adopted as its analytical framework. The paper employed the survey research design as a strategy to generate and analyze data. The sample size of the paper is 159 which was purposively derived from a population of 264 representing the staff of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC). Data for the paper was mainly generated via a 4 point likert scale questionnaire administered and retrieved from the respondents. Information from documented materials complimented the needed information from the respondents. Generated data was arranged in tables and analyzed using the simple percentage statistical methods. Hypothesis was tested via the use of chi-square. The paper revealed inter-alia that; poor mobilization, lack of financial involvements, lack of commitment on the part of the commission as an organization, favouristism in staff selection process, inadequate training content, gross inefficiency in plan implementation and others were some of the challenges that impugn on human resources development. The paper concludes that human resources development has not impacted positively on organizational productivity on the RSCSC due to the presence of these factors. Accordingly, the paper
