Die doeltreffendheid van benutting van kantooradministrateurs in ondernemingsCrause, Anna Catharina January 1998 (has links)
Masters Diploma in Technology: Office Administration at the School of Business Informatics at the Cape Technikon / During visits to business organisations where students undergo co-operative
education, it was revealed that functional managers, irrespective the size and type
of organisation, are bound by many administrative tasks that leave them very little
time for strategic planning and decision making. It also places a lot of pressure on
these managers to keep up with technological developments.It also seems as if administrative staff who possess the required training, skills and
proficiency are not utilised fully, and consequently do not experience work
satisfaction - which leads to increased staff turnover.The solution to this problem seems to be the appointment of managers in charge
of the administrative activities in an organisation - on all managerial levels, but
especially on middle and lower management levels. Not only does this free functional
managers from the additional burden of administrative obligations, but also
enables them to concentrate on their primary function. In the study, these managers
of administrative activities are referred to as office administrators.In this study, the factors that contribute most to the effective utilisation of the
office administrator in business organisations were investigated. During this
process, a model was also developed for the effective utilisation of office
administrators.

Die gebruik van die tegnologie as hulpmiddel vir die administratiewe bestuurderFerreira, Edmund John 14 August 2012 (has links)
M.Comm. / The purpose of this study is to determine how technology may be put to use by the administrative manager with a view to providing an effective and efficient information service to the business. Literature on the duties, functions and responsibilities of the administrative manager as well as the technology available for administrative activities has been studied. For any measure of future competency, the administrative manager will need to employ technology wherever practical and possible. This could lead to a decrease in paper and the virtual office in certain types of businesses.

A mechanism for activating end-user learning and participation in office automationKaddah, Mona Maamoun January 1990 (has links)
This thesis is about 'User Involvement', a theme that is becoming the core of a growing body of research in the area of systems development and implementation. Although the value of user involvement in facilitating change is generally accepted, and has been specifically advocated by many recent system development approaches, its application has proved to be quite difficult. History is replete with cases where the effective implementation of user involvement has been hindered, partly by users who have been ill-equipped technically and psychologically to contribute positively to the systems development process, and partly by the prevailing organizational climate and the lack of an effective mechanism and methodology for participation. Problems experienced by offices in general - and in Egypt specifically - when introducing new office technology, as well as the need for further research on the subject of user involvement, have provided the impetus to conduct this research. A new approach to user involvement in office automation is presented in this thesis. The distinctive features of this approach include a focus on evolutionary learning and participation prior to the introduction of new computer-based office systems; a coherent strategy that addresses within its framework contextual variables at the individual, group and working environment level; a computer -aided mechanism that facilitates and guides the process of knowledge assimilation, user analysis of requirements, and group interaction; a capability of adapting to different organizational contexts; and finally, an interface to selected system development methodologies. The approach has three complementary dimensions: incremental knowledge acquisition, experience with the technology, and guided group interaction. To date the approach and mechanism have been implemented successfully in four institutions in Egypt. The scope and pattern of implementation have been influenced by the prevailing organizational and political circumstances at each user site. To draw on such experience in future implementations, a description of each case is provided.

A study of the predictive value of the battery of psychological tests used by the Counselling Office of the University of British ColumbiaLuyendyk, Walter Rigby January 1952 (has links)
The study was undertaken in an attempt to provide the counsellors of the University of British Columbia Counselling Office with information as to the predictive value of three psychological tests used in the Office battery.
These tests were:
1. The Henmon-Nelson Tests of Mental Ability -For College Students - Form A.
2. The Purdue Placement Test in English - For Colleges and Senior High Schools - Form A.
3. The "J" Mathematics Test, University of British Columbia.
Since the test results were being used primarily to assist in the counselling of incoming freshmen, the predictive values of the tests were determined in terms of first year marks - Average Final, English Composition Final and Mathematics 101 Final marks.
A sample of 150 students was chosen in which all volunteered for testing and counselling In the summer of 1950 and had completed the compulsory English courses and the elective Mathematics 101 course as part of a full first year's work during the 1950-51 university session.
By various correlation methods, coefficients of correlation were calculated between the variables and the criteria singly and in all possible combinations. From these, regression equations were constructed and the most useful transposed to graphs for ease in use.
Results of the investigation were typical of those reported by most authors who had conducted similar studies. The Henmon-Nelson Test, a test of general intelligence, was found to be of little use in prediction when used alone in terms of correlation coefficients. It was found to be of some value, however, when used in combination with the other variables. Considered on the basis of expectancy tables, the extremes of test's distribution were helpful in isolating the extremes of the criteria.
The Purdue Placement Test alone was the best predictor of the English Composition Final mark, and, with the "J" Mathematics Test, was the best predictor of the Average Final mark. The most useful single variable predicting the latter mark was found to be the "J" Mathematics Test. Prediction of the Mathematics 101 Final mark was very difficult and unreliable because the distribution was not sufficiently normal.
Nowhere in the literature were correlation coefficients reported that bettered those of this investigation, suggesting that the three tests presently in use were producing results typical of similar measures used elsewhere in prediction. An adequate comparison would only be possible if likely alternatives were used on the same sample in the same setting with the same controls and techniques as were those in this study.
Various recommendations for further study were listed. The most important of them was one concerning the predictive value of the high school record, which, in the literature, excelled psychological test results in importance. Analyses of other factors in prediction such as motivation, personality traits and interest patterns were also suggested.
Within the limitation that the results could apply only to freshmen entering university and volunteering for testing and counselling, the study indicated that the three tests could be effectively used in prediction. / Arts, Faculty of / Psychology, Department of / Graduate
