INTRODUCTION
1.1    Background of the Study
Human resources Management is the process of planning, organizing, directing and controlling of the procurement, development, compensation, consolidation, maintenance and separation of human resource to the accomplishment of individual, organization and societal objectives.  Human resources Management is also a methods and functions towards the mobilization and development of personnel as human resource with the objectives of efficiency and greater productivity in a company, government administration and other organizations. Human resources management involves a management and operatives function which includes planning of human resources, developing of human resource, compensation of human resources, and integration.  The problem of human resource management focuses on the challenges and prospects of human resources management in Enugu State Broadcasting Services.
Human Resources Management according to Dressler and Varkey (2010), Human resources management’ defines the process of all the policies and practices that are involved in carrying out the issues and aspects of management position which involves element of acquiring, recruiting, training, appraising, compensating, employees and addressing their health and labour relations safety and fairness concerns as well.  All thus element of human resources management functions stated above plays an important role in developing the productivity of the organization, if carried out efficiently and fairly.  In the aspect of business approach for the definition of human resources management as follows is a model of personnel management that focuses on the individual rather than taking a collective approach.  Management is often devolved to line managers.
