INTRODUCTION
11 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Man started seeing the need for organization, which he realized that he is not self sufficient. He then came to realize that with coordinated effort more output can be realized.
This was why is the early be of man, the creation presentation and modification of organization became absolutely necessary because the society at large depends on those organization.
Consequently, man desired to control his environment and to control the activities of the particular person (s) in that given setting through organization. Organizations are social system comprised of technology and humans.
Technology on its own cannot perform anything unless the human aspect performs and this is where the personnel of an organization come in.
The personnel (workers) of an organization must be satisfied before the organization can experience growth and development. Therefore, personnel satisfaction is a situation where the worker of an of an organization experience a feeling of contentment, which they get when they have achieve what they need or desire.
Personnel satisfaction can also be seen as a situation of fulfillment.
On the hand, organizational growth has to do with size and quantity white development has to do with quality and advancement. There is no way an organization will grow and develop when the people working in it are not happy.
Despite these facts, we should bear it in mind that human beings are insatiable and this is why human management is complicated. This is why this research is a very important one because we are going to find, out that with out these workers, growth and development of the organization will not be possible.
Employers feel that regular payment of wages and salary is all it takes to get workers to put in there best but in this global world the story is different. People are not only interest in money but in order things like job enrichment, self actualization etc. this is why this research work is necessary so as to know the extent that personnel satisfaction contribute to organizational growth and development. Also, we will see better ways that the case study ANAMMCO has used so as to achieve their personnel satisfaction.
In order to accomplish this study, ANAMMCO has been selected as the case organization. I will be studying the personnel profile in the organization to know how it has contributed to the success of the organization. The data for this study will be collected through the use of questionnaires, direct interviews of persons and the study documents.
The company ANAMMCO (Anambra motor manufacturing company) is a company that deals with the manufacturing and assembling of Mercedes-Benz vehicle parts. The company started existing a very long time ago ever since then, they have been very successful.
Also, in the course of studying this topic we shall have to study some relevant theories like that of Abraham maslow, Herzberg and the rest of them that will be reviewed.

1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY:
Like all human endeavours, this study exactnesses some limitations from a lot of factors. These put a check to a hundred percent comprehensiveness of this research.
First, finance was a militating factor against this study because as a student, I do not have enough money for a very comprehensive research. I also encountered a lot of difficulties in obtaining information through interview and questionnaire due to the attitudinal problems of some of the staffs of ANAMMCO.
Most of them claimed time constant to fill the questionnaires, while the majority of others were reluctant in offering information for fear of disclosing their views to the public, which they presumed may cost them their jobs and this results in a like warm attitude even when they are assumed that their views will be treated in the strictest confidence.
Finally, time was also a check on the comprehensiveness of my research, as my limited time was also needed for my other obligations as a student.
