CHAPTER ONE

1.0   INTRODUCTION

In management of human resource leadership play a vital role and organisational performance determine the growth and development of an organisation.  One of the major problems in our society is how to lead people to perform their duties effectively. It is not very easy since many people derive only a minimal sense of accomplishment in what they do in their various organisation.

Understanding the concept of leadership is very important. Many workers leave for other organisation or leave their place of duty because of disagreement, lack of self esteem, lack of adequate communication between leaders and followers and bad management. These observation are general. Therefore there is a need for understanding the subject as such it is necessary to find out the problems and hence give recommendations to them.

For a leader to achieve his aim there is the need to accomplish some certain task. A good leader must be interested in people. He must spend time with people instead of things. He must take on interest in the career and progress of his subordinates. He should hold his team sympathetically in check when enthusiasm tend to step over the mark.

It is only when each member of staff has been stimulated to the point that he can give his best. Thereby the organisation’s performance will improve. House define leadership organizationally and narrowly as the ability of an individual to influence, motivate and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organisation of which they are members. Organizationally leadership impact the effectiveness of cost, revenue generation, services satisfaction, earning market value share price, social capital motivation, engagement and sustainability. Leadership is the ability of an individual to set an example for other and lead from the front. It is an attribute that influence the environment. (Wikipedia.org)

Also leadership is the process of getting to know both the self and other(s) and establishing a relationship of mutual trust and awareness for the purpose of working together to reach a common goal. (Susan Wright & Carol Mackinna 2003)

Organisational performance can be regarded to be the achievement, product, characteristic or behavior of an establishment. Concerning what is meant for or in respect to the aims and objective of that establishment to that of the enabling environment. To know this we must understand that the organisation is a work place in which people of different background come together as a team to achieve a common goal.

However Organisation performance can be determine by the way the people of the organisation behave i.e. the behaviour of the human resources. The roles of leaders, and employees are becoming difficult. Many leaders are now imploring the ideas of employee into decision-making processes rather than simply follow order. For better achievement need. (Organisation behaviour Stephen Robbins & N. Langtin).

McClleland learned Needs Theory is called ACHIEVEMENT NEED, POWER NEED AND AFFILIATION NEED. He asserts that a unique thing about achiever is ability to think that is they spend a lot of time thinking.

Rennis Likert. (The Human Organisation). He advocate the ideal organisation and developed a system which placed a greater emphasis on the morale of employees and on their need to interact within work group.

Chris Argyris: (Psychology of the individual) His theory is centres on the “the matured individual” and the integration of individual and the organisation, Elton mayor one of the father of humanistic organisation and is the intellectual starting point of the humanistic view of the organisation with his work known as the Hawthrone studies, Burns and Stalker. Gartt;H.L. (Task and Bonus System) and others.

The assumption is that leadership determine the efficacy of an organisational performance. Research work is design to show the role of leadership in an organisation and to check the behaviour, factors that contributed to performances of organisation lacking into problems of leadership and profer solution.
