Abstract
The intent of this study was to determine if financial aid employees use computers to perform
daily job responsibilities and if the users seek to improve their computer skills. The
measurement tool was personal interviews with five financial aid staff members at a suburban,
private liberal arts college. All workers interviewed reported using computers extensively every
day. Males were more likely to practice using applications and to learn new programs in the
pursuit of work and leisure activities. Numerous studies were done to determine computer use
when organizations began implementing technology. Additional research is needed to determine
the validity and advantages of continued technological training for users.
