CHAPTER ONE

  • INTRODUCTION

1.1   BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The advent of cooperative societies in most establishments has received a lot of accolades and criticisms as well. The present economic situation of our economy and the pay package of workers can hardly stretch over a reasonable time satisfy the vast important needs like physiological needs. The trend is very devastating as to lead to frustration. Where one cannot make ends meet temptation can come in for the individual to indulge in social vices. This led to formation of cooperative in some organization. At this juncture it is pertinent to define what co-operative society is all about before delving much into other analysis of its origin and contribution to members – owners in a particular and its mobilization of workers welfare.

Cooperative societies can be defined as an association of persons or small business men and women alike who voluntary come together for the common purpose of promoting the member economic interest of the members.

The birth of cooperative is associated with people who experienced some hardship and who their standard of living cannot be quantified in the scheme of things. This relative hard condition kindled the self-help mutual and self reliance spirit in the people whom felt need for cooperative among people ignite the formation of he first even recorded co-operative society, because of nomadic 15 and industrial revolution within 18th and 19th centuries. The condition of the then workers was very poor to resolve their socio-economic problems; the workers resorted to farming various types of cooperative societies that were directly benefice to members. The more successful of the first cooperative societies was formed in 1844 at the Rockdale England. The Rochdale pioneer society had twenty eighty (28) registered members. Because of the benefit engaged by the various kinds of these societies, it started to emerge with varying names but with the common objective of self help, mutual aid and self reliance. Among the co-operatives, consumer cooperative retard, cooperative thrift and credit societies to mention but a few. There continued existence and contribution help their members a lot in lifting their members economics life. Before the emergency of cooperative, workers leave their establishment or organizations. Lt Closer strutting of the reason for leaving organizations for others ones shows that the salary is either not enough or motivating enough to ensure their continued stay. This gives an insight to the need of credit and thrift societies in such organizations to help out in many ways which include. (i) Enabling employees to obtain loans for viable projects.  (ii) Encouraged thrift amongst workers as money saved is money earned. This is usually done at source to discourage procrastination; Employees that are highly motivated tend to put in their best in all they do. Motivation in this sense includes a sense of belonging brotherhood and comfort. The role of cooperative in enhancement of workers welfare are not limited to the employee alone, the organization sees a change in the attitude of their workers. The rate at which people change jobs will reduce and vice versa with this borne in mind any organization that impede the economics advancement of its work force should bear it in mind that they are obstructing cooperation’s. As most employers see it as a unionist movements considering the gains they stand to obtains believe that, this study would shed more light on the blessing that comes with cooperation.

 

1.2   STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS                                                  

The felt need for a means of cushioning the effects of inflation, hardship and host of other problems experienced in our nation. Other nations that are faced with similar and even greater problems are indeed pressing and has let to a lot of solution proffered which in most cases have not addressed the problems at hand but has only helped in alleviating a minimal amount and enriched the pocket of those proffered them. The government on its part has not taken time to research into ways or making ahead way as well. All the remedies churned out do not make any remarkable impact on those concerned.    No matter the huge amount one receives at the end of the mouth, if it is not properly administered. With a certain  level of frugality. In order to cover the wants, the problem at hand is still not solved. Tracing the history of how credit co-operative care in existence from German. The loan society Raifferson organizes in 1862 is still in existence. Here in Nigeria, credit is enhanced through the saving of members. It has been observed that companies or organizations where credit cooperative are established are faced with problems

  • No registration of the society in the ministry of cooperative.
  • A default in the payment of salaries.
  • A conflict of interest between the cooperative and establishment management.
  • The problem of first or greater loyalty, to who at a particular point in time.
  • People appear not to understand the role of cooperative society in the enhancement of workers welfare.

Alternative companies without co-operative are the worse off as the rate of application for loans keeps getting high. The provision for workers as stated by institute of personal management extracted by G.R. most on shows in the welfare employee services. The provision for granting lions, assisting employees in transport, housing billeting shopping and other problems among others.
