The Effect Of Human Capital Development In Organization (a Case Study Of Nta Enugu)

Human capital is the economic value that an employee provides to an employer. According to Schuttz (2010) human capital is referred to as a key element in improving an organizations assets and employees in order to increase productivity as well as sustain competitive advantage.  However recent evidence reveals that many organizations have not paid sufficient close attention to human capital development, leading to an under-utilization of talent in the workforce.

Kingsmil, (2011) opined that treating human capital as a means of achieving positive business results is traditionally dominant approach in the literature.  However, little work has been done on what constitutes a framework of human capital development, particularly in view of investigating the gap between rhetoric (what is espoused) and reality (what is enacted) in an international organization.  Also, there is a scant evidence identifying key dimensions of human capital development that are involved in creating the conditions for such gap.  Much of the human capital literatures is prescriptive in tone and managerial in intent, specifying ideal models and broad descriptions as to how to develop human capital in an organization operating in the international environment.  An area which has been received particularly scant attention is whether, within companies that have claimed to foster human capital developing human capital has been actually embedded with the firm and to what extent human capital has effect to organizational development.

Garavan et al (2012) defined Human capital as the gap between what a firm intends to achieve and what the firm is actually destined to implement.  The however, said that being the models of human capital, people construct focusing specifically on the tools used and the meanings, made in the those models.

Taking Nigerian Television Authority as a case study NTA was established in the year 1960 by the premier of an Eastern region of Nigeria by Dr. Michael Okpara.  It was the oldest television station in Nigeria.  It was received in the thirteen states of the federation.  The station has two studios and each of them equipped with video-cameras and microphones, because of the tempograph of Enugu the studio and the transmitter are not con-sided.         

The transmitter is located about 15 kilometers away from the studio.  The station’s transmitters on 201.75mhz video and 196.25 audio, both local and network programmes are received from the station.  In the year 2003 the station was upgraded to a zonal network center.  The implication of the above is that the station not only now receives both also transmitter, network news and programmes.  The zone covers Abia State, Akwa-Ibom State, Anambra State, Benue State, Imo State and River State.  It can be said that the zone and its station are fulfilling their primary function of informing, educating and entertainments.
