    Organisational Culture, Computer Self-Efficacy And Administrative Effectiveness Of Secretaries In Public Polytechnics In Oyo State, Nigeria
    (Lead City University, Ibadan, 2024) Oluyemisi Omowumi FASIPE
    Organizational culture, computer self-efficacy, and administrative effectiveness are crucial aspects of public polytechnics in Oyo State, Nigeria, that are interrelated and can impact the performance of secretaries; however, these areas have been perceived as major challenges, leading to several administrative inefficiencies. The study, therefore, examined the influence of organizational culture, computer self-efficacy, and administrative effectiveness of secretaries in public polytechnics in Oyo State, Nigeria. The descriptive survey design was adopted, with a sample size of 149 secretaries drawn from public polytechnics in the state. Data were collected using a questionnaire, with reliability tests yielding 0.65 for administrative effectiveness, 0.69 for organizational culture, and 0.72 for computer self-efficacy. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Utilizing a sample of 149 respondents, findings indicate a moderately high level of administrative effectiveness among secretaries, as reflected by a weighted mean score of 3.254 (x̅= 3.25), with low variability in responses. The prevalent organizational culture in these polytechnics emphasizes Basic Underlying Assumptions (mean = 3.268), (x̅= 3.27), surpassing Artefacts (mean = 3.182) and Espoused Values (mean = 3.098). This highlights a strong focus on core beliefs guiding organizational behavior. Additionally, the secretaries exhibit high computer self-efficacy, with a weighted mean of 3.72 (x̅= 3.72) across mastery experience, social persuasion, and vicarious learning, suggesting strong confidence in using technology for administrative tasks. Regression analysis demonstrates a significant combined influence of organizational culture (F = 30.071, p < 0.000), and computer self- efficacy (F = 10.015, p < 0.000) on administrative effectiveness, with specific elements of culture, such as Artefacts and Espoused Values, playing key roles. The study concluded that organizational culture and computer self-efficacy significantly influence secretaries' administrative effectiveness in Oyo State polytechnics. Continuous training and promoting a strong organizational culture were recommended to enhance computer self-efficacy and improve administrative outcomes.
