ABSTRACT
This
research work investigates the impact of computer on the performance of office
professionals in selected organisation in Kaduna Metropolis. The study covered
two ministries, one bank and one college namely; Ministry of Budget and
Economic Planning, Ministry of Information, First Bank Nigeria and Police
College respectively. The nature of office professionals` work has changed
drastically with more professional managers keying in their own correspondences
and more files being stored electrically. As the reliance on technology
continues to expand in offices, the roles of office professionals have greatly
evolved. Four research questions were developed to guide the study. Data was
collected using a sample size of three hundred and four two (342) respondents.
Questionnaires were administered and data analysed using mean score method. The
findings of the study revealed that knowledge on use of computer and
availability contributed positively to productivity of both office
professionals and the organisations. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations
made based on the finding.
