1.0 INTRODUCTION
It has become obvious that all economic resources and human resources are the least efficiently used. However, the greatest opportunity to improve economic performance is within the improvement of the effectiveness of people and their work. Therefore, human resources management can be defined as the effective management of human resources.

The study is based on the effect of human resources management on the overall performance of a firm in an organization, a case study of Zenith International Bank Limited, Victoria Island, Lagos. What justifies the continued existence of an organization is the achievement of its set goals and objectives. A typical organization has within its capacity several resources, which it can harness, towards achieving the goals. Basically, these resources: the human money, material and machinery resources of all these resources however, the effect of human resources on the overall performance of an organization cannot be over-emphasized. No matter how self sufficient or how good the management of an organization feels over its set goats and its achievement so far, it should realize that without human resources, the organization could not really perform neither can its set goals be achieved. We can only begin to understand the considerable complexities when we recognize (Human resources) operations. When we recognize that unlike machines, raw materials or other input to production, labour (human resources) is not a commodity that labour market is composed of million of human beings whose well-being is of great importance. Management should therefore observe the human resources in a different perspective, realizing its priority over other resources. Many firms today are yet to realize this fact, and subsequent effect over this ignorance is detrimental to the organizational performance.
