CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The use of modern office equipment is
inevitable to offices in this modern era- until the 15th century before the
advent of typewriters, publication of business documents was a difficult job
and bored mostly to secretaries because everything has to be handwritten.
With time and technological growth,
business organizations witnessed information overload due to over increasing
commercial transactions. Business therefore, needs technology to turn out words
effectively, efficiently and continuously.
These days,
the world of work is changing fast, as we approach the new millennium modern equipment are fast
replacing manual machines in the
workplace, computer automated machines have gradually taken the work of men.
With the level of sophistication and cut throat competition in our society,
nobody is resting on their oars in the new technological age.
Before now,
most employers of labour needed all kinds of categories of workers. Some were
trained on the job, while others came as experts. In the factories, people were
employed in their thousands to do all kinds of jobs. Production machines,
acquired long age, took time to warm up for use while workers took their turn
in churning out the large number of workforce.
Most management, employers of labour
are of the view that the introduction of high technology to the workplace has
made the work easier, faster, saves time and cost, especially on overhead,
better than employing a multitude with no result.
Again, with the introduction of new
technologies, business men have been saved from carrying huge sums of money all
over the place, the advent of electronic fund transfer is a pointer to this
topic.
The use of internet, E-mail, pagers,
digitized telephone services, mobile phones, answering machines have made the
job of executive, top managers less cumbersome and communication gap has been
bridged with the popularization of these gadgets. Business and transactions can
be discussed through these services.
Even in terms of society for the
workplace it is common feature in some big organization to mount circuit
television, to monitor movement of people. Big time executive also use close
circuit television to wade off intruders and those they don’t want to see, with
this, productivity is thus enhanced.
