Challenges, Objectives and Approaches to Manpower Development in Modern Organizations
Keywords:
Challenges, objectives, approaches, manpower development, modern organizationsAbstract
While most organizations take great care to plan and monitor their investments in capital and physical resources, they seldom take the same care when it comes to their human resource investments. As a result, the article looked at the goals, methods, and difficulties associated with workforce development in contemporary organizations. This work makes use of secondary data and interprets the gathered information through content analysis. This article concludes that the idea of manpower development and its advantages for employees' organizational commitment has been the subject of extensive writing. The present study aims to address a research gap by examining the inverse relationship between less developed countries, including Nigeria, and the advantages that such discourse appears to portray in developed nations.
