BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
An organisation exists when two or more people come together for the purpose of achieving certain objectives that ordinarily would be difficult for an individual to achieve. According to Akpala (1990:4), an organisation is a combination of people or individuals working together in pursuit of certain common purposes called organisational objectives.
All organisations are purposive, which according to Nwachukwu (1992) means that all organisations whether profit seeking or non profit seeking, exist for some purpose. The goals may be profit making (Business organisations); training and educating 13 people (Schools); National defence (Army) and social satisfaction / affiliation (social clubs) etc.
Individuals in an organization work in order to help accomplish the organisational objectives. These individuals also wish to accomplish their own goals through the organization. To achieve their goals, all organizations need to combine the three main resources of men, money and materials in pursuit of their goals using the process known as management (Ikeagwu 1992 P. 2).
