margin-left:0in;text-indent:0in;line-height:normal">This


research work investigates the impact of computer on the performance of office


professionals in selected organisation in Kaduna Metropolis. The study covered


two ministries, one bank and one college namely; Ministry of Budget and


Economic Planning, Ministry of Information, First Bank Nigeria and Police


College respectively. The nature of office professionals` work has changed


drastically with more professional managers keying in their own correspondences


and more files being stored electrically. As the reliance on technology


continues to expand in offices, the roles of office professionals have greatly


evolved. Four research questions were developed to guide the study. Data was


collected using a sample size of three hundred and four two (342) respondents.


Questionnaires were administered and data analysed using mean score method. The


findings of the study revealed that knowledge on use of computer and


availability contributed positively to productivity of both office


professionals and the organisations. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations


made based on the finding.
