EXTENT OF USAGE OF DOCUMENT INSPECTION AND PROTECTION TECHNOLOGY BY BUSINESS EDUCATORS IN ENSURING THE SECURITY OF DIGITAL DOCUMENTS
Abstract
This paper aimed to find out the extent of usage of document inspection and protection technology by business educators in ensuring the security of digital documents. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The population of 41 business educators in tertiary institutions in Ebonyi State, Nigeria was studied without sampling. A structured questionnaire was used. The questionnaire was validated by three experts, two from Business Education Department and one from Measurement and Evaluation, all from Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki. Cronbach Alpha reliability procedure was used. The instrument yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.86. Forty-one (41) duly completed copies of the instrument were administered, retrieved and used for the study. Data collected was analyzed using mean and standard deviation for research questions while the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using t-test. The findings of the study found that business educators utilized document inspection and protection technology to ensure the security of digital documents to a low extent. The test of the hypotheses proved that there were no significant differences in the mean responses of the male and female business educators on the extent they utilize document inspection and protection technology to ensure the security of digital documents. Based on the finding of the study, the researcher concluded that the respondents do not adequately utilize document inspection and protection technology to ensure the security of digital documents. Therefore, it was recommended that government and school management should organize continuous training and re-training of ICT programmes (in which document inspection and protection technology is inclusive) for business educators to enable them to update their knowledge so as to embrace digital document security technology skills for effective utilization in ensuring security of digital documents.
