Abstract:
This
research work investigates the effect of ICT on the performance of office
managers in selected organisation in Kaduna Metropolis. ICT has enhanced the
proficiency of office managers on their jobs by enabling them to process
accurate and relevant information within the shortest possible time. The advent
of ICT has dramatically changed the roles and effectiveness of office managers
in offices; hence there is need for availability of ICT resources/equipment in
offices as well as acquisition of requisite skills and competencies by the
office managers. Four research questions guided the study, hence, structured
questionnaire was the only instrument used for data collection and 291copies of
this questionnaire were administered in three organisations in Kaduna
Metropolis, namely; Ministry of Information, Ministry of Budget and Economic
Planning, Keystone Bank, and Christ Ambassador College. Mean score and grand
mean were used to analyse the data. The study revealed that ICT has influenced
the performance of office managers in much different ways: speedy delivery of
information, accuracy and effectiveness at work. The researcher recommends
among others that organisation should procure the latest model of ICT
facilities to enhance office managers’ functions and create opportunity for
training and re – training of the office managers to be abreast with the new
changes and advancement.
