ABSTRACT
This study aimed at assessing the performance of secretaries in information and communication technology related functions in Ondo State civil service. Four research questions were used for the study while three hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The survey research design was adopted for study. The population consists of 328 Directors and Deputy Directors in 22 ministries of Ondo State Government. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire. The instrument was validated by experts and its reliability co‐efficient was 0.84. Data were analyzed with mean and t‐test statistics. Results revealed that secretaries in Ondo State civil service are effective in communication and office practice clusters but ineffective in information and internet services. There was no significant difference in respondents’ mean ratings of secretaries’ performance in information, communication and office practice clusters based on respondents’ gender experience and status. Consequently, the researcher concludes that secretaries in Ondo State civil service are not as effective as required in ICT related functions and recommends among others, that serving secretaries should search for and utilize opportunities to acquire relevant ICT competencies for effective performance in the current era and that management of tertiary institutions that train secretaries should adequately equip the department with ICT resources.
