ABSTRACT
This study assesses the impact of
organizational development in the Nigerian banking industry using some selected
banks in Enugu metropolis. This study tries to ascertain if organizational
development affects employee job performance and to formulate recommendations
regarding corporate culture. In order to achieve the above objectives, the
following questions were asked: Does organizational development have any effect
on employee job performance in the Nigerian banking industry? In what ways does
corporate culture impact employee job performance? Is the implementation of
organizational culture effective in the Nigerian banking industry? Four
hypotheses were advanced: (i) There is no positive relationship between
organizational development and employee job performance. (ii) Organizational
development has no effect on employee job performance.
(iii)
The implementation of organizational development has not been effective in the
Nigerian banking industry. (iv) Change has not strategically repositioned the
Nigerian banking industry. The study uses survey research method. The banks
were selected using stratified and simple random sampling techniques. Our
respondents were selected using simple random sampling technique. The findings
of this study are that organizational development has effect on the Nigerian
banking industry, there is a positive relationship between organizational
development and employee’s job performance, the implementation of
organizational development has been very effective and that change has strategically
repositioned the Nigerian banking industry. These findings made the study to
accept four alternative hypotheses and reject the null hypotheses because in
the four cases, the calculated values of chi-square were greater than the
tabulated values.

1.1 BACKGROUND
OF STUDY
All organizations need to establish proper governance,
management, administration as well as financial structures and systems to
ensure that they achieve their goals and objectives effectively and efficiently
in the short term, and develop sustainable programme in the long-term (Ukpaka
and Olukotun, 2008:1). Organizational Development (OD) is simply the way
organizations change and evolve (Evereth, 2008:2). In this wise, organizational
change can involve personnel, technology, competition and other areas. Employee
learning and formal training, transfers, promotions, terminations and
retirements are all examples of personnel related changes. Thus, in the
broadest sense, organizational development means organizational change.
Organizational development is concerned with the analysis and diagnosis of the
factor that determine organizational effectiveness, and the planning and
delivery of programmes to increase that effectiveness (Ojo, 2009:389).
Organizations want to obtain the commitment of their employees. Management
would like its employees to identify with the values, norms and artifacts of
the organization, hence the need for organizational culture. Management needs
to explain and imbibe its culture in its employees; this will enable the employees to get
familiar with the organizational system. During this process of explanation,
the employees learn about the organizational culture and decide whether she can
cope with it or not. This means that each organization is a learning
environment. It is the proper understanding of the organizational culture that
the performance of the employees in the organization can be enhanced
effectively. Performance is the extent to which an individual is carrying out
assignment or task. It refers to the degree of accomplishment or task that
makes up an employees job (Cascio, 2006:14). Job performance is the net effect
of an employee’s effort as modified by abilities and roles or task perception
(Jones, 2003:29). The culture of the organization should be developed to
support continuous improvement, improve employee’s style of performing their
jobs and thus develop quality awareness. To operate successfully across
cultures, it is important to be able to recognize cultural differences and be
adaptable (Deter, Schroeder, and Mauriel, 2000:12). Organizational culture
finds expression through the thoughts, intentions, actions and interpretations
of members of the Organization (Hallett, 2003:1280.This study therefore
evaluated the effects of organizational development in Nigerian banking
industry.
1.2 STATEMENT OF
THE PROBLEM
The introduction of organizational development (OD) is with
the view to enhancing employee job performance in the banking industry. Though
the advantages and opportunities organizational development offers are very
great, but this is not without some problems. The followings are what the study
intends to investigate.
i.
One of the major effects of
organizational development in the banking industry is on its downsizing effects
on the employees.
ii.
Internalizing problem- Every individual
has different culture and beliefs that she works with and when she joins an
organization that has a completely different culture and beliefs from her own,
it affects her performance.
iii.
Resistance to Change- This
issue arises due to employer’s uncertainty about the outcome of such change. A
lot of reasons were discovered why workers resist change, some of which are;
self interest, misunderstanding and lack of trust, different assessments and
low tolerance for change.
iv.
Fear of Cost contributes to organizational
development in banking industry. The fear of cost involved in the
implementation of change or organizational development is usually very high.
