Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine the readiness of the Bachelor of Science in Office Administration (BSOA) students at Occidental Mindoro State College (OMSC) to the quick-change of modern office technology. This study utilized descriptive comparative research and respondents were selected using stratified random sampling. This study will be beneficial to the Institution, faculty, and students. The study will serve as an enhancement of the curriculum to cope with the changes in the modern office setting. The result shows that the students have a very high level of readiness for modern office technology. More so, the students’ level of readiness to modern office technology has significant difference when grouped according to sex and civil status. However, there is no significant difference in terms of their age. Related recommendations were given based on the findings in the study.
