1.1 Introduction
Human Resource is a management approach that is aimed at understanding how psychological and social process interacts with the work situation to influence performance. Human relations are the first major approach to emphasize information work relationship and work satisfaction.
As global workplace becomes a reality, companies, both large and small require human resource. The oppressive nature or informal, email and mobile phone now ensures that a manager is continually fed with information. However, these are still no more than supporting tools in business life, helping to maintain good relationship created at more personal level. The reality is that successful businesses in the 21st Century are still built around relationship founded on face to face meeting with customers, suppliers and employees.
For many, it is when they look at faces, before they know whether they should sign a deal, promote or take decision.
An organization is said to be a social system, where there is an interpersonal or inter-group, interaction aimed at increasing effectiveness at attaining organizational goals. Though these interactions may involve personal affairs, to a large extent, the interaction is related to the role expectations in group or in position occupied by sole occupant.

1.3Statement of the Problem
The choice of this topic “Human Relation as a Tool for Effective Management in the Banking Industry” is to look at the organization and its management perspective in terms of Human Relations.
Basically, human resource had gained a permanent role within the organization; it is important to note that unless the management of the organization support human relations, the success of the organization (Banking industry) may just be a façade.
This research work will therefore address the following problems:
(a) How effective is the Human Relation System in the banking industry?
(b) How motivated are the employees through social interactions?
(c) How effective is communication in the banking industry?
(d) Does psychological factors influence performance?
These and other related problems are what I intend to critically look into; it is also important to state here that one of the fundamental problems of employees poor productivity is lack of good human relation in firms today and it is still handled at a every level in most organization.
However, opportunities still holds firms to change this situation, which would be looked at with the aim of laying or carryingout this research work.

v. To make concrete, advice or suggest on how human relation can be used for effective banking industry.
vi. And to promote a reference point where future researchers or students can draw inspiration for their intellectual nourishment.
1.5Statement of Hypothesis
Ho: Human Relation does not serve as a tool for effective management in banking industry.

1.7Scope and Limitation of the Study
This study is centered on Human Relation in Banking industry with a case study of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) Kaduna. The study circumscribe around Human Relations and how it can be used as a tool for effective management, the study is under a lot of constraints.
The time for the study is quite long, but due to academic demand like preparation for tests, assignments, and paper presentations took a lot of time for one to go out and source for information.
Financial constraint was another major limitation, which made it uneasy for the materials to be readily available at the appropriate time.
The restrictions of Guaranty Trust Bank made it almost impossible to obtain details about the organization.
