ABSTRACT
This study investigated the effect of human capital
investment on the performance of selected Nigerian Banks within the period of
2005-2012. The main objective of the study is to assess the effect of
investment in human capital development on performance of selected Nigerian
Banks from 2005 -2012. Two new generation banks (Access Bank Nigeria Plc and
Eco bank Nigeria Plc) and two old generation banks (First Bank Nigeria Plc and
United bank for Africa Nigeria Plc) were selected for the study. The data for
this study (net profit, total assets, number of customers as well as data on
human capital development cost (i.e. cost of training, allowance and salaries
and operating cost of the banks) were sampled from the annual reports of the
selected banks. Data collected were subjected to descriptive statistics, analysis
of variance (ANOVA), simple regression analysis, and Pearson correlation
analysis using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The results
indicate that human capital investment of each of the various selected bank had
significant contribution and effect on the banks performance which was proxy as
net profit, total asset and number of customers. The cost of human capital
development was observed to be positively related to the operating cost of each
of the various banks studied as the increase in the operation cost of each of
the various banks studied results to the increase in the cost of human capital
development. In testing the hypothesis of this study, the entire null
hypothesis was rejected and it was established that human capital investment
contributes significantly to the net profit of the various selected banks. The
human capital investment of the various banks had significant effect on their
total assets and number of customers of the various banks, and there is
significant ent. The study relationship between the operating cost and the cost
of human capital developm mmercial banks recommends that there is need to
improve the quality of human capital investment in co via judicious planning
and administration of human capital investment since human capital contribute
significantly to the banks operating cost and performance.
