INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Every
business organization need efficient management and administration and
therefore requires the services of secretary Segun (1989). A secretary
is one who besides possession of typewriting and shorthand skills is
knowledgeable in management and organizational techniques. The secretary
relies on her sill in dealing with people. Such skills are tact,
discretion, courtesy, common sense, pleasant speaking ability and having
a good memory, to mention but a few.
It is a well know fact that
every occupation carries some elements of risks usually referred to as
occupational hazard. Secretaries are to be found in almost all business
organizations worth that name. As is well known, the secretarial
profession has come of a age in Nigeria. Secretarial courses are now
being offered in all polytechnic in the country and in some reputable
universities. The number of students offering the course seems to be
growing from day-to-day for those working, the take home pay is
relatively attractive. Everything seems to be going for the secretary,
yet many secretaries express dissatisfactions with their lot in their
work places and some I know have abandoned the profession for greener
pastures.
This study therefore is being carried out to find out the
problems facing secretaries in their work paces and those impediments on
their way to achieving full job satisfactions identification of those
constraints will be a first step in seeking for solutions to the
problems and this is the objective of the research.
1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
In
every well organized business, the service of the secretarial personnel
are highly needed. It is usually asserted that the success or failure
of any organization largely depends on the role of the secretary plays
in achieving the objectives of the organization.
In this modern
times, the secretarial profession has become very lucrative and
attractive. This has led to an unprecedented influx into the profession.
Despite this enviable position the secretarial profession appears to be
bedeviled by some unidentified obstacles which may lead the secretary
to resort to negative attitude towards their work and even leave their
job for entirely different professions.
It is the aim of this paper
to find out those impediments, obstacles and pitfalls, which make many
secretaries wish to leave this profession despite the attractive
salaries usually offered to them. We will also seek to find possible
solutions and proper recommendations that may stop these problems.
