economically. The ideology that human resources are important for well being has struck a firm root in
the developed and developing world. It is moving towards the center stage of socioeconomic
development. India too realized that human resources cannot be ignored if it wants to increase itseconomic vitality. It is a vast land with widely different geographical, political, cultural and climatic
conditions. This all the more necessitates the need for the development of personnel by adoptive systems.
Smt. Indira Gandhi in her last public speech at Bhubaneshwar on 29.10.1984 made a special
reference to the human resources when she said "our greatest wealth is our people. We must enable
individuals and families to realize their potential to the full". The Late Prime Minister Sri. Rajiv Gandhi
rightly remarked, that "development is not just about factories, dams and roads but is basically about
people". World Bank President, Lewis T. Preston has called for a higher rate of investment in humanresources to fight world poverty. In support of his point, he cited the example of the East Asia which by
investing more on human resources over the years had attained a higher rate of rapid economic growth.
The shift of emphasis on the possibility of more economic development with reference to post
independent India has obviously moved on to emphasize on the human welfare which after all should
follow any economic activity.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Today there is a cut throat competition in every industry more so in service industry like
insurance industry. It is being crowded with not only national players, but also with global giants. Each
player, at regular intervals, is coming out with innovative products and innovative ideas to woo the
investors. Insurance companies apart from ensuring security are also offering a fair return to the policy
holders, LIC, under such situation, has to make extra efforts to maintain its leadership position in the
insurance business.
Human factor plays an important role in every industry, more so in service industry like insuranceindustry. Human beings are indispensable in insurance industry. Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) of
India is one of the biggest service organizations with huge manpower. Its units are spread throughout the
length and breadth of the country. The scope of HRD is broad and hence, the main focus of present study

4.1.11To analyze the instruments used to appraise the performance of the employees and their
role in HRD.
4.1.12METHODOLOGY
In tune with the objectives mentioned above a close study has been carried out by selecting 35 per
cent of the total population of 986 LIC, Raichur division. Data collection is restricted to the Raichur
division Karnataka.
4.1.13SOURCE OF DATA
The present study is conducted with the help of both primary and secondary sources.
4.1.14PRIMARY DATA
The study is mainly based on the primary data. The primary data were collected through a
questionnaire consisting both open and close ended questions on a five point scale. An indepth
discussions/interviews were held with clerical staff and officers before the development of questionnaires.

1.7 TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES
Data collected form different sources were tabulated and classified in to defferent chapters so asto make the study systematic and scientific. The data is tabulated and analysed using different statistical
tools such as simple percentages, factoring, correlation and ANOVA wherever necessary.
4.1.16HRD CLIMATE
Organization climate is a relatively an enduring quality of the internal environment experienced
by the employees, influences their behavior. It can be described as code of values and a set of
characteristics of the organizations. Hence organizations culture is derive from the perceived aspects ofinternal environment of an organization. But, within the same organization, there may be very different
climates. This is due to the employees with different years of experiences from different levels of
organizational hierarchy may perceive internal environment of an organization differently. The personal
characteristic of the individuals such as values, needs, attitudes and expectations determine the manner in
which they are likely to perceive the various aspects of the internal working environment of the
organization.
4.1.17NEED FOR HRD CLIMATE
Human beings are governed by all kinds of emotions, impulses, instincts, prejudices, wishful
thinking, hopes, fears, desires. A normal person carries within him set of expectations involving
perceptions, attitudes, feelings and behavoiur, which can be organized in various ways. Further, human
mind is just like a parachute, which starts functioning when it is open.

Every employee has resourcefulness, a latent force, which acts under challenging situations like a
pot maker who gives shape spontaneously on his rotating wheel to the rudimentary resource called mud.
Thus the environment greatly influences not only the quality of performance of an employee, but also thevery formation of his attributes, behaviour and sense of commitment.
4.1.18IMPORTANCE OF HRD CLIMATE IN INSURANCE SECTOR
In the current scenario insurance sector has become a challenging field which is full of exciting
tasks for the employees. Organizational prosperity and progress depends upon the climate it creates for
the employees which encourages them to utilize their potential. Thus the employees and their behaviour
are critical determinants the successful function of insurance sector. The need of the hour is to emphasismore on attitudinal changes than on developing specialized skills and knowledge. Insurance sector is
poised for severe competition even the best of organization has to continually struggle to retain its top
position. Successful implementation of HRD policies would help to have an edge over competitors. To
initiate a plan and implement HRD process in insurance where the knowledgeable resources are very
high, a supportive HRD climate is all the more important and essential.
4.1.19TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
The future of any organization largely depends upon the availability of the right type of people at
the right time. The trained people are in short supply professionally qualified personnel are to be
developed according their needs. Moreover, each organization has its own culture and requires people
who not only accept it but are also acceptable to it. So a well-planned training programme for the
employers is a must for developing the creative skills and orienting them to the practical aspects of the
administration. A Chinese proverb which highlights the importance of developing men "If you wish to
plan for a year, sow seeds, if you wish to plan for ten years, plant trees, if you wish to plan for a life time,
develop men".
Any organization without human resources is incomplete and impossible. Human resource plays
a vital role in the successful functions of any organization. Thus, Training and Development is an

rated better in performance can expect higher responsibility, more rewarding assignment and promotion.
2.7NEED AND IMPORTANCE
The performance appraisal is considered as a significant tool for any organization. It helps in
making decisions regarding, various performance measures, and links information decisions making
processes which provide a basis for judging the effectiveness of personnel subdivisions such as
recruitment, selection, training and compensation.
DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
Factor analysis helps to identify the underlying factors that define the HRD practices of LIC. It is
useful in yielding easily understandable factors that convey the essential information contained in the
original set of variables. Factor analysis is used in the present study. The "principal component analysis"
and varimax rotation is employed for the purpose of extraction and rotation of factors respectively. Factor
analysis is done for each element of HR separately. A total of 9 factors emerged from the factor analysis.
3.1 KMO AND BARTLETT'S TEST OF SAMPLING ADEQUACY
The Kaiser - Meyer - Olkin measure of sampling adequacy was used assess the appropriateness of factor
analysis. The results are shown in table.2
The KMO value is 0.773 and this is considered to be adequate to proceed with factor analysis of the data.
This indicates that there is a high presence of correlation amongst the variables. The Bartlett's test of
sphericity is 2780.328, which is high value, and it is significant at 0.01 levels. So factor analysis would
provide statistically reliable information.
FACTOR 1 - TOP MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES IN HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
Factor 1 account for 19.954% of the variance. The factor is made up of 6 variables that had
highest loadings These variables relate to top management initiatives

FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS
FINDINGS
4.1.1 TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT
Training in an organization setting is a basic and strong mechanism of HRD, contributing to an
employee's occupational and personal development through skill building. Based on the theoretical
presentation and the analysis of the data, it is concluded that training as an HRD practice in LIC, was
inadequate and is not conducive for personal development or career advancement of nearly half of theofficers level and clerical level respondents. It suffered from certain weakness, such as; (mean score value
of ranging from 3.57 to 3.70).
> Do not meet the present day requirements
> Hardly improves knowledge, skills and performance on job
> Rare on the job training
> No focus on e-training
Obviously, training as an HRD practice in LIC has to be innovative to meet trainees' expectations and to
effectively deploy trained manpower.
4.1.2. PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL
Performance appraisal is a process by which job performance of employees and their potential for
development are evaluated. The appraisal results provide the database for numerous HRD and OD
activities. Based on the theoretical presentation and field data analysis, it may be concluded that in LIC

4.1.3 MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT
Based on the theoretical presentation and analysis of the empirical data, it is concluded that, the
management development process in LIC as an HRD practice, is not effective and is not deliverity
expected results. It suffers from for growth and development of manger.
> Poor addition in performance of management groups.
> Non-scientific MDP process
> Rare use of on the job and off the job techniques
> Neglected computerized MDP programme
Obviously, management development in LIC, needs to be thoroughly reviewed to meet the global
challenges.
4.1.4. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
Employee benefits/welfare is an HRD practice that enhances quality of employees' life. If
properly administered, it increases employees' motivation and their sense of involvement in the
organizational work. If mismatched, it induces atrophy becomes the root cause for employee alienation.
Majority of the employees were not happy with LIC's welfare measures because of lack of remunerative
health and retirement benefits, and poor non-statutory welfare measures.
4.1.20TOP MANAGEMENT INITIATIVES IN HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT
The employees feel that the top authorities believe that human resource is an extremely important
resource and that they have to be treated with human. The mean score of 3.83 is high compared to other
statements The employees also feel that the authorities of the LIC go out of the way to make sure that

supervising officers or colleagues and the employees involve themselves in work and are ready to share
responsibilities in the LIC have got very low, mean score of 3.41 and 3.40 respectively, which show alack of commitment among employees.
4.1.22EMPLOYEE SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT
The opinions of employees towards employee support and encouragement are low suggesting a
low level of encouragement among employees. The employees feel they are not encouraged to take
initiatives on their own and do things on their own. With a score of only 3.29 this is lowest ranked
statement.
4.1.23EMPLOYEE RELATIONSHIPS AND UNDERSTANDING
The opinion of employees towards employees' relationships and understanding statements are
suggesting a low level of understanding among the employees. In LIC, employees are not afraid to
express or discuss their feelings with their supervisors and employees trust each other. The mean scores
for these statements in 3.44 and 3.43 respectively.
4.1.24OFFICER'S ROLE TOWARDS EMPLOYEE DEVELOPMENT
The study concluded that most importantly the employees feel that when an employees did a good
work his supervising officers take special care to appreciate it and officers in the LIC believe that
employee behaviour can be changed and people can be developed at any stage of their life. The mean
score value is 3.50.
4.1.10 ORGANIZATION CULTURE
The opinions of employees towards organization culture statements are mixed with scores as high
as 3.6 to as low as 3.28.The employees agree that the personal policies in the LIC facilitates employee

must be intimated a year advance, their preference for posting must also be taken into account. The
promotion policy must be fair and objective. Frequent changes in the policies are not advisable and whenonce the policy has been drawn, it must be in force at least for 3 to 5 years.
Every year, the LIC of India has to declare the vacancies in different categories. To encourage the
junior employees, a certain percentage of the vacancies are to be filled through fast tract promotions. It
develops competitive spirit among the employees at all levels.
In both the levels of employees in the LIC of India "best employee" award may be instituted at
divisional levels, in recognition of the best performance to encourage the others.
The management should create good climate in the organization by conducting formal type of
discussions. This helps employees to discuss with their superior without any hesitation.
The management of LIC of India should ready to accept important suggestions of employees if
made in time. This results in better work culture and employees feel that they a voice in the decision
making process of the organization.
The management of L.I.C of India should predict the future challenges and plan the strategy to
meet them. This helps the clerical level employees to know their role and responsibility to meet the future
challenges.
The L.I.C should adopt inbuilt career planning to minimizes the frustration among the employees.
This helps employees to develop their career according to changing scenario and it will empower them in
their working places.
The training policy should provide necessary guidelines for identifying the training needs on
systematic and scientific lines, this ensures proper nominations of employees to the identified training
programmes. It improves the training system and also enhances the effectiveness of the training center.

It is in the very nature of the human being to resist change. Therefore, the management should
inculcate change in an effective manner, this can be ensured by training employees properly. It should
invite resource persons, specialist in human resource from well known institutes and universities.
It is recommended that employees get back after the training programme on their job. Follow up
of training programme in the present job, regular feedbacks and evaluation of productivity should be done
to check whether the training programme has been successfully conducted.
