ABSTRACT

The objective of the paper is to explore the role of the human resource manager towards improving corporate productivity in Nigerian organizations. With the aid of secondary and primary data, a survey study was carried out on Nasarawa State Polytechnic. Analysis was done using the simple percentage with the aid of tables and the Chi-Square(x²) statistical technique at 10% level of significance. The study discovered that the human resource manager is indispensable in the organization system; and that environment or location be considered in human resources allocation. The study, therefore, recommends that the human resource manager be solely responsible for employee matters in the organization; his or her skills be regularly updated to meet the challenges of the ever-changing times; and environment or location be considered when allocating human resources for increased productivity.
