| dc.description.abstract | t - The aftermath of liberalisation of the Nigerian aviation sector reveals itself in increasing demand for airline services at the Nigerian air terminals. The new competitive regime is seemingly a corollary of policy intervention to induce growth in quondam public dominated sub sector. Such impact will no doubt attract passenger services variance levels. The study examined factors which describe the critical variables that impinge on human resource management in a typical airline. To achieve some reduction in the categorical data points to deal with, while also investigating the structure of the data, we carried out an exploratory factor analysis. The analysis also serve the purpose of streamlining the study by removing highly correlated variables from the data set. The Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was the extraction method used under the IBM SPSS 19.0 system. The result of the Principal Component Analysis seemed somewhat reasonable in the absence of a clear idea of the nature of the distribution of airlines personnel interviewed in the study; that is, since we could not tell whether the data was generally normally distributed or significantly normal. The numbers of factors retained following the analysis were five including: supervision of staff performance; effect of good interpersonal relationship; effect of provision of working equipment/facilities; reward for excellence in performance and the need for credit on staff performance. The critical variables that motivates employees of the airlines is the provision of working equipment and facilities. This is closely followed by need for labour pressure group to protect the interest of the staff. The next prime motivator of the workforce is provision of adequate reward system for excellence in workers’ performance of their task. From the communalities recorded in the analysis, where it is shown that the two variables with the lowest values scored 0.610 and 0.654 respectively. One may therefore summarize that the analysis has unraveled the structure of the factors used to represent human resource management strategies. | |
