EFFECTS OF INFLATION ON ECONOMIC GROWTH IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT This study (a case study of the Federal Polytechnic Offa) looks at recruiting and selection as instruments for an organization's employees to work effectively and efficiently. Employee productivity is the antecedent or predictor variable, whereas the selection procedure is the criteria or explanatory variable. Data was gathered for the study using a questionnaire. Fifty respondents were chosen at random from public organizations at Federal Polytechnic Offa in Kwara State to provide the data. Tables, frequencies, and percentages were used to illustrate the data, and an independent t-test analytical tool was used to test the study hypotheses. The outcomes of the study revealed that, there is a considerable difference between the selection process adopted by the public sector of organizations and the productivity they attained by adopting such selection process. Additionally, it was found that similar criteria affect the selection process in public sector enterprises. Therefore, the study suggests that public sector organizations should develop a systematic and rational selection process and continually adhere to it without deviations in order to have healthy and suitable staff capable of reaching high productivity. Additionally, during the selecting process, they should always take into account elements like geography, experience, education, and so on without any bias, discrimination, or favoritism.
