INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Productivity is very important in the development of any country because it will help to improve the standard and quality of life of the citizens. The issue of low productivity by public service have in recent time been a matter of great concert to the nation, let us first of all define the term or rather make an attempt to the definition of productivity. Productivity simply means the level of efficiency of work especially in industrial production. Increased productivity will improve the conditions of the environment as well as to enhance security. This why David Ricardo stated in his study of population “that food needs to grow at a geometric progression in order to meet the demand of the growing population this emphasized the need for increased productivity. Yesufu (1962) was of the view that productivity can be defined as the ratio between output and all the resources used in production i.e. capital, labour, raw materials etc. the problem of raising out put demands for efficient use of all available resources. With these definitions, one may ask why is the Nigeria public service inherently characterized by low productivity in spite of all Government efforts to improve productivity the company under study is Nigeria Television Authority (N.T.A) channel 12 Owerri. In the bid to achieve increased productivity, the company will adopt a suitable leadership style, train employees as and when due, run a participative management, offer good remumeration etc it is therefore that will enhance productivity. Increasing productivity is a way of increasing the ability of people to do what thy want to do as such that it can provide the whelem that for achieving a higher standard of living for those suffering from low income and inversely boosting the prosperity of the over all Nigeria economy.
