AN ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF INVESTMENT IN HUMAN CAPITAL ON THE PERFORMANCE OF NIGERIAN BANKS
ABSTRACT
The study is aimed at assessing the impact of human capital investment on the performance of Nigeria banks. The study covers banks quoted on the Nigerian stock exchange as at 2005. A sample size of 6 banks was obtained; 2 from the old generation and 4 from the new generation bank. Secondary source of data was used for the data collection, salaries and allowances was used as the proxy for human capital investment while Market price per share, Earning per share and Book Value per share were used as the proxies of performance. Regression was used to test the impact of human capital investment on performance while Pulic (1997) Human Capital Efficiency Coefficient was used to test the efficiency of human capital in Nigerian banks. The study found that there is significant relationship between MPS and human capital investment; there is a significant relationship between BVS and human while there is no significant relation between EPS and human capital. The study also found that human capital investment has positive impact on the efficiency of banks’ employees. The study recommends, among others, that banks should increase human capital investment in order to increase their MPS and BVS. In addition, there is need for Nigerian banks to ascertain the level of human capital that can be seen to be optimal so that redundancy and under utilisation would not be encouraged.
