CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background of the Study

Decision making is crucial to office managers’ productivity while the office managers’ productivity is crucial to the entire organization productivity. Decision making is as important as the existence of an organization because wrong decision can lead to the downfall of any organization or industrial disharmony that can subsequently affect worker’s performance and hence office manager’s productivity.

According to Browley (2010) organizations of all kings know it too well that their plans can only prevail and be activated by good decisions. He added that a number of decisions require some form of financial and qualitative analysis in order that rational choices can be made which implies that decision making requires much intelligence and commitment to ensure sound choice between alternatives from the context of a managers view.

Churchman (2014) defined decision making as a series of steps that start with an analysis of the information and ultimately culminates in a resolution, a selection from several alternatives and verification of this selection (how and at some time in the future) to solve the problems under study.

According to Nwachukwu (2009), decision is the selection of alternative course of action from available alternative in order to achieve a given objective. The decision process is influenced by the unique environment of the decision maker and his organizational position.

UNESCO (2011) defined office manager as one whose duty is to coordinate and control the affairs of others in an organization. Huston (2009) defined an office manager as a person who organize and supervise all of the administrative activities that facilitates smooth running of an office.

He further explained that an office manager carries out a range of administrative and related task, depending on employing organization. Thus, it is the duty of an office manager to manage the staff of an organization so as to be able to achieve the goals and objectives of the organization.
