Abstract

This study sort to determine how the use of computers and its related technologies stresses the administrative staffs of the Jomoro district assembly. It is also to explore how these computer related stress is managed by the managers of Jomoro district assembly.A total of 85 administrative staffs were randomly sampled for the study. A well-structured questionnaire was used for collecting data. Frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations were used to analyse the data collected. It was established from the study that the administrative staffs work with the computer over 6 hours a day as result suffer from headaches and backache. An excessive heat and or poor/inadequate lighting in the district assembly's building affects the administrative workers. This in turn affects their eyesight's when they continue to use the computers. Though managers of the district assembly have been informed of the computer related stress affecting their work, management have not made any effort to solve these computer related stressors. Considering the findings and conclusions drawn from this study, it was recommended that there should be more health breaks for the administrative workers who use the computer over 6 hours a day and more ventilation and lighting systems must be provided in the district assembly building to help save the eye sight and the general well-being of the administrative workers who constantly use the computer. Finally management must act on all the computer related stress that are reported by the workers and they must be involved in its solutions.
