CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1              BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY.
Man started seeing the need for organization, which he realized that he is not self- sufficient. He came to realize that with co-ordinate effort more output can be realized.
            This was why, in the early times of man, the creation, presentation and modification of organization became absolutely necessary because the society at large depends on those organizations. Consequently, man desired to control his environment and to control the activities of the particular person (s), in that given setting, through systems comprised of technology and humans. Technology on it’s own cannot perform anything anything unless the human aspect performs and this is where the personnel’s of an organization comes in.
The personnel’s (workers) of an organization must be satisfied before the organization can experience growth and development. Therefore, personnel satisfaction is a situation where the workers of an organization experience a feeling of contentment which they  get when they have achieved what they need or desired. It can be seen also as a  situation of fulfillment. On the other hand, organizational growth has to do with size and quantity while development has to do with quality and advancement.  There is no way an organization will grow and develop when the people working in it are not happy. Despite these facts, we should bear in that human beings are insatiable and this is why human management complicated. This is why this research is very important one because, we are going to find out that without these workers, there will be no growth and development.
            Employers feels that regular payment of wages and salary is all it takes to get workers, to putting in their best, but in this global world, the story is different. People are not only interested in money but in other this like job enrichment, self- actualization etc. this is why this research work is necessary so as to know the extent that personnel satisfaction can contribute to an organizational growth and development. Also, we will see more better ways that the case study “ANAMCO” has used, so as to achieved their personnel satisfaction.
In order to accomplish this study, Anamco has been selected as a case organization. I will be studying the personnel profile in the contributed to the success of the organization. The data for this study will be collected through the use of questionnaire, direct interviews of persons and the study of documents. Anammco is a company that deals with the manufacture and and assembling of Mercedes-Benz vehicle parts. This company started existing a very long time ago and ever single then they have been very successful.
Also, in the course of studying this topic, we shall have to study some relevant theory of Abraham Maslow, Herzberz and the rest of them that will be useful for more understanding. Some current literatures will also be reviewed.
