- Description:
- This study examined the utilization of computer technology by managers in two organizations. The empirical reference for this study included a cluster sample of two selected organizations in Atlanta, Georgia. Percentages and tables were used to analyze the study area. Samples consisted of a population of fifty-seven managers from a statewide human service organization and thirty-one managers from a regional utility firm. A questionnaire was distributed by mail to the two respective groups for the purpose of collecting respondent's data to the research questions. Finally, statistical package for the social sciences (SPSSx) was used to analyze the data. The major findings of this study were as follows: (1) social agency administrators use computer software for various managerial applications; (2) in selected social organizations there were principal factors such as lack of familiarity with the computer, skills, time, and limited financial resources that adversely affected the application of specific computer technology; (3) regarding information technology, few differences were found between the two distinctly different organizations.
