CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1    BACKGROUND OF STUDY

From the creation, man has been a social being.  He could not afford to stay alone, hence God created for him a helpmate.  From then on, man has come to rely on interactions with his fellow men and his environment for survival and achievement of his aims for life to be meaningful, he has to relate to others by way of communication and be responsive as well as in order to impart his ideas and feelings.  The boss is not an exception, he has to relate positively with his secretary in order to accomplish the organizational goals and objectives.

In the modern organization, the importance of the boss/secretary relationship as it affect staff management and productivity cannot be over stressed.  This is so because, the two personalities are the pivot around which the functions of the organization revolves.

The boss/secretary relationship in the right perspective and context could be seen as a mutual bond, binding the boss and the secretary I their quest for effective staff management and increased productivity, aimed at accomplishing the organizational set goals.  According to Hanna, Pohem and Tilton (1973) a secretary is an assistant to an executive, possessing mastery of office skills and ability to assume responsibility without direct supervision, who displays initiative, exercise judgment and makes decision within the scope of her authority her.

Secretary plays a vital role in the organization.  She organizes, supervise, controls the junior cadre of workers.  The secretary acts as a co-coordinator between the subordinates and the management.  She makes sure that there is no gap in communication between the two.  This is because, if there is a breakdown in communication, attainment of goals becomes difficult.  Subordinates must be informed to enable them know who to report to.

Therefore, it is the responsibility of both the boss and the secretary to ensure that there exist cordial human relationship between them to enable staff management and increased productivity.  Effective staff management according to Denger(1980) is determining the number, level, types, qualification, personal qualities and duties of the people required and ensuring that they perform their job satisfactorily and cost effectively.  Managing people is of course the hardest part of management.  It is relatively easy to have beautiful scheme but the implementation may result to a total failure because of poor staff management.

A cordial relationship between the boss and the secretary create the enabling environment for free flow of communication in the organization.  Thus the secretary is well placed to communicates the organizational goals to the workers and at the same time convey the workers feelings and aspirations to the boss.  By sustaining the upward and downward communication in an organization, the secretary maximizes the positive relationship between the boss to enhance effective staff management and increased productivity.

On the other hand, where their relationship is formed on a negative side, it will adversely affect the organization in many ways.  Such as job dissatisfaction, lack of motivation, poor staff management, low productivity, just to mention but a few.  The boss who sees his secretary as an ordinary typist will definitely under utilize her talents and this will result to frustration because she will not be motivated to take up challenges and her responsibilities.  On the contrary, a boss who sees his secretary as a partner will always involve her in the achievement of the organizational objectives and this will bring the best out of her and will lead to efficiency.   Winston (1985) in his analyses of the motivation received from his secretary started that the best thing that has ever happened to him was having a secretary who wanted to work for a president.  He was not the president then, but she set out to help him make it.  She had tremendous impact in hid effectiveness and indeed he made it.

A boss who creates a meaningful working relationship with her secretary will find out that the secretary as a result of his positive reaction which exist will be motivated, be actively involved in the organizational growth, under the work government, work is facilitated because workers are more actively involved and work with openness and this will definitely enhance their performance and increase output.

According to Whitehead (1981)  the relationship between an executive and his secretary is the one of partnership in the office.  As a partner in business, both should work towards the attainment of the set goals.  Their relationship should be a cordial one based on trust, mutual understanding and empathy.  Studies shown that where both the boss and the secretary are able to understand themselves, it will greatly influence the effective management of subordinates and will lead to increase in productivity and work performance.  But where human relationship is lacking, it will adversely affect productivity and lead to ineffectiveness.

As potential secretary who knows the implication of boss/secretary  relationship, it serves as motivating factor for his research.  It has been said that behind every successful boss, there is an effective secretary who has an excellent and affable relationship with her boss Nwosu (1997).  The boss and the secretary, therefore find themselves forced to wok with and depend on one another in the demands and peculiarities of his job, he has to face increased interactions with the society as well aas government agencies, private and public organizations.

The secretary, therefore has a lot of responsibility in ensuring a unified team with her boss.  She ought to influence the entire business life of the boss not only positively but also profitable.

Therefore this research study is designed to analyze boss/secretary relationship. Its effect on staff management and productivity.

I actually googled and saw about iproject master, copied the number and contacted them through WhatsApp to ask for the availability of the material and to my luck they have it. So there was a delay with the project due to the covid19 pandemic. I was really scared before making the payment cause I’ve been scammed twice, they attended so well to me and that made me trust the process and made the payment and provided them with proof, I got my material in less than 10minutes
