CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of The Study
In any
organization time is rated very highly. A secretary that doe not work
with time cannot be productive in an office. So the secretary must know
how to manage her time properly, as well as that of her boss to be to be
able to achieve the organizations set goals.
Time can be described
as the one commodity that is unbiased, available to all in equal
amounts, it does not cost us anything monetarily, and is completely at
our own disposal. We cannot store it, we cannot spend it in advance, we
never seem to have enough of it and it is not possible to retrieve it
once used. Time wasting on the other hand has been observed as the major
cause of secretary’s poor performance on the job. Good secretaries are
those who can manage themselves as well as others. Time according to
Bennett (1989) is the inexplicable raw material of everything.
Time
can be given different definitions. In a day of 24 hours sometimes we
hear some people say that the day is too slow while others say it is
fast. Even a year can be said to be can be said to be long or too short.
It is a popular saying that time is money. Invariably, it is important
that time should be properly utilized or well managed.
An efficient
secretary arranges her day’s work according to priority in order to meet
up with the boss’s target, thereby achieving greater result in the work
place.
Aromolaran (2000) identified time waters as in efficient
procedures for handling tasks that must be done.†He further explained
that time wasters are also regarded as those vices which prevent office
workers from accomplishing desired goals at the appropriate time.
A
good secretary is one that always accepts responsibilities without
grumbling, and should be able to carry out the work without supervision.
Akinola
(1999) defined a “secretary as a very important person in an
organization†and further explained that his/her contribution can either
enhance or mar the efficiency and effectiveness of an organization.
