INTRODUCTION

For decades now, fast changes have been taking place in

all facets of human life including the office environment.

This is as a result of technological advancement. Every

office in today’s business world, be it government,

industry or other human endeavours, require facts and

accurate information for quick decision-making.

The office worker, including the secretary, expects

certain support from the organization into which he/she is

employed. This support can be technological (machines

and equipment) and human. In offices of past, manager’s

dictated memos and letters and secretaries typed them.

Most recently, business have developed word processing

centers and relied on personal computers and even

electronic mail in an effort to lessen the need for secre-

tarial support and make the employee-secretary very

productive.
