| System Variety | Percentage of respondents using | Specific Job Tasks | Percentage of respondents using |
| Word processing | 100 | Letters and memos | 87.8 |
| Electronic mail | 73.0 | Producing report | 77.0 |
| Application Packages | 56.8 | Communication with others | 66.2 |
| Graphics | 41.9 | Data storage/retrieval | 62.2 |
| Spreadsheets | 40.5 | Budgeting | 48.6 |
| Databases | 40.5 | Controlling & guiding activities | 47.3 |
| Programming Languages | 31.1 | Planning/forecasting | 44.6 |
| Making decisions | 43.2 | ||
| Analyzing trends | 41.9 | ||
| Analyzing problems/alternatives | 24.3 |
System variety was subsequently combined into two larger groups as follows: Basic Systems
(namely, word processing, electronic mail, spreadsheets, graphics, & databases), and Advanced
Systems (e.g. application packages & programming languages).
Specific job tasks were grouped
into those for administrative purposes (such as producing reports, letters & memos, data
storage/retrieval, & communication with others), planning purposes (e.g. analyzing trends,
planning/forecasting, analyzing problems/alternatives, & making decisions), and control
purposes (e.g. budgeting, controlling & guiding activities).
All the respondents are using at least one basic system, and 58.1% of respondents are using a minimum of one advanced system. A
computer system is in use for at least one administrative task by all respondents, 59.5% of
respondents are using an application for at least one planning and control task.
Relationship Testing
The multiple regression analysis was employed to analyse the relationships in the model and the
results are summarised and schematised in Figure 1 below.
