CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.0 Background information

The modern business organization is a highly complex affair and thus the function of the secretary is becoming more is a highly complex affair and thus the function of the secretary is becoming more challenging. Every business management aims at making profit and at the same time, strives to provide the needs of its employees. The socio-economic and technological system of modern business has taken a new dimension. Thus could be attributed to challenges in the society. Thus, hails and Hubband (1977) said many organizations have changed their internal system to match changes in the environment.

Business managers have now employed means to create a better working relationship between their employee and themselves. Employees are motivated to increase productivity and ensure good working conditions. Humbly (1975) said that suceesful manamgent of change requires an understanding of humans motivation. Hails and husband (1977) went further to say that every country must operate within an economic system that provides its citizens with necessary goods and services. To meet these needs modern business have adopted measures like: introduction of modern office equipment, performance appraisal, providing office security, training employees. Etc. As the duties of the secretary is becoming more and more complex, it is imperative to tach not only skills and techniques necessary for these functions but also a more general training that would give the secretary the possibility of career development. Anyatonwu (N.d.) opined that, the role of the secretary in today’s business has assumed added dimensions and they are no longer limited to shorthand and typewriting to become secretary. He further said that, secretary today cover many responsibility for which they are employed.

The social system of business organizations has also taken a new trend. Modern business satisfy the needs of their employees, which was not the case in the past. Hence, humble (1975) opined that considerations of adaptability and motivation are not as same believes it to be of mere academic interest but, now it is practical importance to business. He also said that, social responsibility is one of the key areas of business and that computer has added a new dimension to business and social activities. Technological system can be conceived to be creative. To its creativity, Marvin and Mareia (1984) said that, “office automation should help to increase productivity, eliminate waste, and create new and more challenging jobs for those willing to adopt themselves to the new system.

The technological innovation may affect the workplace of a secretary in several ways, one of which is to render skills and knowledge obsolete. The change in the system of modern business organizations has made the job of the secretary more challenging. One must have an understanding of what one is supposed to do how to do it and various ways one can fail. Again, the secretary who is not well trained and not well equipped may not be able to carry out her task effectively, socially, economically and technologically. To this effect, in discharging her functions, she may not get cooperations from her boss, colleagues or even outsiders.

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
