CHAPTER ONE

1.0       INTRODUCTION

1.1    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

          In Nigeria, Financial Institution are those institutions that make available to customers short term, long term and other credit instruments for investments and other purposes.

          They also accept deposit, valuables and perform  other functions.   An excellent example is the Banking Industry.     

          The Nigerian Banking Industry started in 1892 when the Africa Banking corporation was Incorporated.  This was followed by the establishment of Barclays Bank of Nigeria Plc.

The Union bank of Nigeria Plc is among the First generation Banks in Nigeria. It was incorporated In Nigeria Companies and Allied Matter’s Decree of 1990 as other many public liabilities Companies.  The Union Bank of Nigeria Plc is the first of the First generation Banks to  be wholly own by the Nigerian public.  At present, there are about 300 branches all over Country with the headquarters at Broad Street Marina Lagos.

The role of Union Bank in economic development of the Nation cannot be over emphasized.  These services rendered by Union bank manager from Ordinary Mobilization of saving to the more sophisticates and not too common business advisory services, Bank generally are regarded as provides of loans which indirectly entails the creation of money and extention  of credit facilities.  An organisation that that trades principally in money requires honesty as a watch –ward.

Union Bank is tailored towards customers satisfaction in the rendition of new services.

An organisation such as Union Bank Plc that thrives on trust and honesty of this staff for discharge of new services must seek an effective and impartial way of rewarding its employees.  Also the efficiency of the service rendered by the Bank depends on the management approach adopted by the Bank.

One management concept that encourages efficiency is management by Objectives.  Drwcker (1974), Looked at (MBO) as a system whereby the objectives for the company as a whole are decided upon by the management and subordinates to archive the organisational goal.  When this is applied in targets setting the managers and subordinates alike receive regular feed back through performance review and are closely involved in the settings their own targets.

The top management approach has been in existence for a greater in part of the distance of the bank.

The subordinates are only given a line of action for following the course of attaining the set targets with increasing awareness f the part of the employees through in services training, furtherance to their education,  exposure to what is obtained in other banks and the deregulation of he economy, with de-emphasis in profit making, the bank has started making in roads in modern management practices such as management  By Objectives (MBO).

This research work is to investigate the extent to which all  cadre of employees are involved in target setting and evaluate its application in light of the forgone. The Organisational structure of Union Bank Plc is divided into three distinct segments for effective discharge of her services to customers.

a.  The Head Office:    The Corporate Head Office is situated at Marina Street, Lagos.

b.       The Area Offices:   The area Offices are located in the Northern region, Eastern region and Western region o the Country.
