Performance
leads to a high productivity, which in turn leads to growth and success of an
organization (Inyang 2006: 201). The effort of
management in a well-established organization is geared towards ensuring greater
performance, proper analysis of an individual’s jobs must be done for a maximum
efficiency.
Careful analysis may reveal those key points or critical incidents for which it is possible to set performance standards expressed in measurable behaviour (Omolu 2002:68).

A manager should
ensure that work group is cohesive enough for his workers to work together,
rather than against each other. According to (Baridam,1991: 73) individual
performance is a multiple one that is individual’s attributes, work effort and
organization support.
Individual
Attribute:
Three factors namely; demographic, competency and psychological
characteristics, we have traits, values and interest. To ensure maximum
performance individual attribute must be compactable with task requirement.
Work Efforts: These depends on
motivation, there are needs, forces within an individual, which influences his
behaviour. For an individual to perform creditably he has to be given
interesting and challenging jobs and extrinsic rewards equal to the amount of
work he does.
Organisational
Support:
An individual with the right attributes and work effort may perform badly, if
the organizational support is weak (Imaga, 1999: 163). The following forms of
organizational support are very important for effective performance.
1.
Adequate resources, capital, equipment etc.
2.
Reasonable time.
3.
Clear objectives, instructions and polices.
4.
Attainable performance standard.
5.
Sufficient delegation of authority to equal
responsibility and
6.
Clear work programmes, methods and procedures.
