EFFECTIVE SELECTION PROCESS AND EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN NIGERIAN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

Today, more than ever, it is critical that our Nigerian tertiary institutions get it right when it comes to hiring decisions. Employee selection and training are two fundamental means by which organizations can acquire and develop human capital, which represents the aggregate knowledge, skills, abilities, and other characteristics (KSAOs) of an organization’s workforce (Ployhart, Weekley, & Baughman, 2006). Nowadays, organizations may not have to manage lousy employees, instead, they hire persons who can meet all the expectations or perhaps exceed organization’s expectations.
