THE DEARTH OF TECHNOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT AND EFFECT ON SECRETARIAL JOB PERFORMANCE ON MINISTRIES

THE DEARTH OF TECHNOLOGICAL EQUIPMENT AND EFFECT ON SECRETARIAL JOB PERFORMANCE ON MINISTRIES

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

We made it clear that the office serves as the nerve centre of every company. The various parts of an organisation receive their instructions from the office.

In order to formulate policies, reports are received, compiled, and evaluated from these parts. In every part of the world, offices deal with management, information, and the gathering, processing, and organisation of said data for subsequent transmission to higher-ups.

The office also helps in presenting and retrieving the data that the organisation needs for its services. It should be clear from the foregoing that the chosen ministries’ secretaries and other clerical personnel handle all of the information.

The secretary and other office workers employ a variety of tools, from manual filing cabinets to state-of-the-art computer systems, to make light work of the tedious chore of information management.

This machinery includes, among other things: computer, addressing, manual and electrical typewriters, duplicating machines, stamping machines, electronic machines, stencils, scanners, dictation, and photocopying. Modern information technology has facilitated the creation and distribution of extremely complex models of machinery.

The invention greatly improves the secretary’s effectiveness and makes her work easier, which in turn reduces her physical exertion and exhaustion. The secretary’s and the company’s overall productivity has been greatly enhanced by these pieces of technical equipment, which has revolutionised the corporate sector.

Every aspect of the secretarial staff’s work is impacted by this. Given the above, the researcher has come to the conclusion that these tools are crucial to the success of any office in terms of efficiency and output.

Work in secretarial and clerical support is laborious, physically demanding, mentally stimulating, and inefficient due to a lack of technology tools.

Statement Of The Problem

The administrative duties of an office are essential to any business. Definitionally, this means handling and transmitting data. In order to carry out this intricate information management, the secretarial staff makes use of many types and types of technological equipment.

While some are simple and easy to operate by hand, others are sophisticated and computerised, and their manipulation necessitates a high level of expertise. Use some of these tools since they make secretarial jobs easier and boost performance in certain ministries, such as people, service type, and workplace environment.

Purpose Of The Study

Finding solutions to the shortage of technology equipment in the chosen ministries is the driving force behind this study.

a. Determine why some Anambra State ministries are short on technology.

b. Establish a plan for dealing with the issues and how to implement it.

c. Determine the impact of the ministries’ lack of technology resources.

RESEARCH QUESTIONS

a. The shortage of technology equipment in ministries: what causes it?

b. How is the lack of technical tools affecting things?

c. How can concerns about a lack of technological equipment be addressed?

significance Of The Study

Anambra State ministries would be able to use the technical equipment for the rest of their lives. The results of this investigation will be very helpful in reevaluating and putting these pieces of technical gear into action.

The chosen ministries will be able to enhance their workflow in the course of their regular operations thanks to these results. With the use of these technological tools, the person will be able to improve their level of job satisfaction.
