“…What's more, knowledge of a system where graduates are placed is also very important, apart from administrative work that must be technically mastered. Not for office manager, several studies show that employees' creativity should be enriched in the workplace to gain more effective results (Masianoga and Govender, 2023).…”

Purpose: this paper’s purpose is to explore competencies that should be acquired by graduates according to industries that they will work for. This study also proposes a model for competencies for office management aspect in industries and the categorization of these competencies and activities based on not only the education background but also the management level in an organization. Theoretical framework: The literature used in this study consists of many sources. However, we emphasize on the work description that is required in office management (Hollis-Turner; 2015 and Maynard; 1967). Design/methodology/approach: We gathered several cross-sectional articles on office competencies, and we also collected primary data through interviews with three experienced professionals in offices. We use critical systems heuristics to structure the answers, as well as construct the model of office competencies. Findings: The results of this research are two folds. First, the exploration of office management field competencies has several discrepancies between industrial perspectives and what are taught at the university or school, including soft skill competencies that should be given when graduates were still in school or university. Second result is the model is constructed that has significant contribution for the academic and industrial aspects. Research, Practical & Social implications: We would suggest that academic world would learn and adapt from the model constructed to avoid future misconception on office competencies. In the future, more office research will enrich the resources to determine the curriculum especially in office management. Originality/value: The result of this study emphasizes that while office can be changed into virtual offices, the competencies to run an office are still needed. Hence, this study shows the perspective from industries in Indonesia that can be used for curriculum redesign in universities and schools.

“…In addition to dealing with individuals that cause issues, such as those who dominate talks, adopt unrealistic attitudes, or are so critical they hinder creativity, leaders help teams strike a balance between the duties of task facilitation and relationship-building.

Purpose: Over the years, manufacturing firms have struggled to achieve maximum productivity because such organizations lack good leadership, work-team, and persons with the team leading skills to lead work-teams. The problem of leadership structure of work-teams in most Nigerian firms was the motivating factor for this research. Thus, the aim of this paper is to assess the effect of team trust and leadership structure on performance of manufacturing firms in Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework is hinged on Self-Leadership Theory, which focused on participatory decision making, individual discretion and team work as important motivating factor and suggestions that will lead more committed employees who strive for greater efficiency and effectiveness. Design/Methods/Approach: Two specifics objectives are considered; the first being team trust and the other being leadership structure. Using a descriptive survey research design, 534 respondents in nine states in Nigeria were examined to obtain their perceptions. Findings: The results of the analysis indicated that the performance of manufacturing firms is dependent on team-work. In other words, acceptable and planned team-building had direct relationship with performance of firms. Research, Practical and Social Implication: The study shows that team trust and leadership structure are major drivers of organizational performance. Originality/Value: The value of the study is vital to manufacturing firms such that top management are advised to create teams whereby members should create increased trust among themselves by communicating openly and avoiding activities purely out of self-interest and reciprocating help from team mates for better results in manufacturing industries.
