Basic characteristics of contemporary secretarial activities


The basic characteristics of secretarial activities have always been one of the focuses of academic circles, but the secretaries have almost fallen into a strange circle, which is to unilaterally exaggerate the obedience and auxiliary features of the secretary and ignore their personality. There are two main reasons for the reasons: First, the analysis method is not scientific. On the one hand, most researchers only consider the comparative analysis of secretarial activities and leadership activities, and it is inevitable to extend a certain feature infinitely to the conclusion of partiality; on the other hand, it starts with traditional knowledge, but not for the secretarial activity itself. Carrying out historical analysis and excavation, simply using the ancient evidence to make the theory of secretarial activity characteristics stale. Second, the analysis angle is not scientific enough. Most of the researchers analyzed the characteristics of the secretary's activities from the perspective of leadership, overemphasizing the status of the leader, and ignoring the status of the secretary. These two reasons make our secretary feature theory pale and old.
We believe that the exploration of the characteristics of secretarial activities can be started from the following aspects:
First of all, we must analyze the problem with a historical perspective, because history is history after all, and reality is reality after all. When Qin Shihuang unified the world, the merits of Wang Hao, Bai Qi, Li Si and other assistants could not be erased; when Liu Bei competed in one world, Zhuge Liang’s outstanding merits could not ignore. Naturally, it is not surprising that their basic feature is comprehensive support. However, when today is no longer the era of the screaming of the stars, the leaders are no longer the tigers who have begun to rise. It can be said that today's secretary is the most capable collaborator of the leadership - for the benefit of the group and for the development of China. The secretaries are no longer just "literary copying public" or "three civil servants". They have already transformed into compound and collaborative personnel. They can say that they are both "thinking" and "joining", and the background of making wedding dresses for others. Front desk.
Secondly, to explore the basic characteristics of secretarial activities, we must base ourselves on the secretarial activities themselves, and we must analyze the secretarial activities as an independent research object. And you can't always think of secretarial activities as a tributary. Many scholars also have this opinion. Throughout the history of the generation, evolution and development of secretarial activities, we will find that the basic characteristics of secretarial activities are very clear and have obvious characteristics of the times. We summarize them into three major characteristics: creativity, collaboration, and professionalism. Sex.
Creativity is higher than service. “A non-creative nation is a nation without hope.” Therefore, today’s society pays special attention to the promotion of creative talents. The secretary who is a direct participant in many social changes is no exception.
As many experts have said, after China entered wto, the requirements for the secretary were even higher. Only a highly intelligent secretary can be a good commander and assistant. The promotion of innovative talent requires that contemporary secretaries must be forward-looking. Since its inception, the secretarial activities have been predictive, and in contemporary China has become the most important feature of the secretary. From the reform of the Warring States Period to the world-famous Reagan President’s Appreciation Meeting, from the Qin Dynasty Li Si Li’s controversy to the deputy mayor of Beijing, 95 pairs of trusting collective weddings, all clearly reflected the advanced characteristics of the secretarial activities. It is also an important magic weapon for the official "leaders" to be invincible. Contemporary social secretaries have expanded their activities and their content is complex, but the advanced features have not diminished. It is self-evident that the secretary assists in leadership decision-making, processing information, coordinating relationships, managing documents, organizing meetings, etc. in their functional activities.
It is true that the secretary is also subject to the leadership’s command, but the obedience is not blindly obedient or servant. We believe that contemporary society is a society of knowledge economy. To achieve "win-win" in various economic activities, the promotion of innovation consciousness is particularly important. Innovative secretarial talents have a strong open mind and innovative spirit. Today's society is a society of knowledge economy. The competition of talents is fierce. In the workplace, new ideas, new inventions, and new discoveries must always be available to provide new ideas and new ideas for different levels of service. Only beyond competition, Only by discovering new leaders, new topics, new technologies, and new products with more strategic value will continue to form the most creative and energetic “people without me” advantage, which is the soul of the nation.
Collaboration is better than auxiliary In the study of the characteristics of secretarial activities, most of them think that auxiliary is one of the basic characteristics of secretarial activities, but I think that the most distinctive feature of secretarial activities is its collaborative characteristics.
Society has various social roles, and the secretary is no exception. The role consciousness of the secretary is the psychological activity of the secretary's staff to the secretary's responsibility and obligation. If the ancient merchants, Qin Mugong, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, more fully reflect their support, then the contemporary secretarial activities are mainly manifested in the spirit of unity and cooperation. In the absence of initiative and the spirit of solidarity and cooperation, the secretarial staff becomes a “machine” for mechanically performing secretarial functions, and it is impossible to exert the subjective action that the secretary has caused by a strong sense of social responsibility.
As the saying goes: "The secretary is closing the door to be a leader." However, this "leadership" approach is very knowledgeable, that is, it is necessary to reasonably grasp the problem of "degree". It is true that secretarial activities are passively subordinated compared to leadership activities, but passive subordination is not the whole of secretarial activities, which requires the secretary to become a collaborative talent in the new era.
The most obvious feature of today's era is cooperation and competition, which is the era of "win-win" and the era of common development. Academia requires a group of people rather than a few people. Under the conditions of the knowledge economy, the collaboration between people is more important because of the strengthening of individual independence. Some people have strong abilities, but their character is eccentric, and they are very self-sufficient. It is difficult to work with others. Some talents are full of talents, but they are too selfish and difficult to appoint. In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, Liu Bang said in the meeting of the Communist Party: "The operation is in the middle of the battle, and it is worse than a thousand miles away. I am not as good as the quilt; the town, the people, the copper, and the endless, I am not as good as Xiao He; Wan Zhijun, the battle will win, the attack will be taken, I am not as good as Han Xin. These three are all Jiejie, I can use it, this is why I take the world." Liu Bang’s words are another important feature of the secretarial activities - collaboration Sexual characteristics. The "think tank" and "think tank" that ordinary people call themselves are the best annotations for the characteristics of collaboration.
Professionalism is more comprehensive than many scholars say. From the content of secretarial work, secretarial activities have comprehensive and systematic characteristics. Ordinary people are more willing to call the secretary "mixed family". The secretarial activities involve a wide range of aspects, comprehensive, comprehensive or extensive. Everyone has thousands of people, and the world is ever-changing. This requires the secretarial staff to be versatile, to be able to stand alone at the same time, or to solve certain problems at the same time, and to ask secretaries. Become a "mixed family" or "generalist."
It is true that the secretary does need to have a wide range of knowledge structures. However, today’s society is developing rapidly, and various new trends of thought, new things, and new phenomena are emerging one after another. However, people’s energy is limited, so it is impossible for the secretary to confront the vast society and disciplines. A comprehensive understanding, asking them to truly "go to astronomical geography, knowing the trivial" is also a difficult thing for the strong, we believe that the secretary should be more "professional" as the main feature. Of course, the specialization of secretarial activities is different from the specialization of politicians, writers, philosophers, artists, musicians, etc., and the practicality is the requirement of the specialization of secretarial activities. The secretary's "special" is to coordinate interpersonal relationships and adapt to society. The "special" of the development; the "special" of the secretary is the "special" in dealing with information, "doing things in the office", organizing activities, etc.; it is the "special" in the specific field of coordination of various relationships. “Miscellaneous” is mainly a requirement for secretarial personnel in terms of knowledge content and business ability. It does not conflict with professionalism.
"Specialization" is a new requirement put forward by the rapidly developing society to the contemporary secretary. Domestic and international are not. From the perspective of international form, due to the fine division of work of secretaries, the required technical content is high. For example, there are 41 types of division of labor in the United States, and the level of light wages is divided into 14 types, from low-level secretaries to full-time secretaries to the management of secretaries. The system is so professional, so there are more people who regard the nuclear industry as a lifelong career. The ancient Chinese "diners" were based on their own skills and were based on the "society" of the time. The professional characteristics of contemporary social secretarial activities also needed to be strengthened. Because there is no professionalism, the secretarial activities lose their personality; without professionalism, secretarial activities are difficult to sustain. Therefore, we must have a deep understanding of the professional characteristics of secretarial activities, highlight it, emphasize it, and practice it so that the secretarial activities can keep pace with the times and adapt to the rapidly developing contemporary society, so that our secretarial work can be further improved. Improve healthier development.
