The skills and competencies exhibited by the secretarial staff in a University setting show how vast is such secretary in the art of delivery of his/her services.  A secretarial staff has been considered to be the brain box of any organisation.  They are incharge of all information emanating and disseminating from the establishment; as such the role of the secretarial staff as the custodian of information in the university cannot be over-emphasized.  The aim of the study was to determine the levels of the University secretarial staff employability skills and organizational citizenship behaviour in South-West, Nigeria.  The study adopted a descriptive research design of ex-post facto type. Two research questions were raised. The sample for the study consisted of 1,209 secretarial staff in 36 universities in South-West, Nigeria selected through stratified random sampling technique.  Three instruments were used for data collection, namely: Demographic Data Form, Graduate Employability Scale (GESS), ‘r’=0.86; Organisational Citizenship Behaviour Scale (OCBS), ‘r’=0.96. Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) and Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) were used to analyse the data at 0.05 level of significance.  The results revealed that the University secretarial staff generally possessed a high level of employability skills (50.5%) and organizational citizenship behaviour (50.8%).It was concluded that the secretarial staff generally possessed the employability skills and organisational citizenship behaviour which are needed to perform optimally in their duties. The study recommended, among others, that the secretarial staff should endeavour to seek for more knowledge to equip them with relevant employability skills that will make them to be assets to the organization. The University secretarial staff should be exposed to regular training programmes with an emphasis on how to enhance their employability skills and further improve their knowledge. Also, there is need to compensate any secretarial staff who displays the traits of organizational citizenship behavior.This will serve as motivation for other secretarial staff.

RESUMENEste trabajo pretendió utilizar el Inventario de Cociente Emocional en su versión para adolescentes EQ-i:YV, de Bar-On adaptado a la población española por investigadores de la universidad de Murcia en 2012, a una muestra de 345 alumnos de educación secundaria obligatoria (ESO) en un centro público de Zaragoza, con un alto nivel de inmigración y diversidad. Mediante un diseño correlacional “ex post facto”, se analizó la influencia que variables independientes ejercían sobre la variable dependiente número de suspensos. Igualmente se llevaron a cabo análisis de varianza y otros análisis mediante el programa SPSS versión 22 y Lisrel 8.51, encontrando que los datos son similares a los obtenidos en el trabajo original, que los varones aventajan a las mujeres en el factor estado de ánimo y adaptabilidad y que éstas aventajan a aquellos en el factor interpersonal y en rendimiento académico. Los análisis de regresión muestran que solamente los factores Interpersonal y Manejo del estrés entran en la ecuación de predicción, con correlaciones positivas pero bajas que explican poca cantidad de varianza, y que casi no hay diferencias en los factores en los cuatro cursos de la etapa, sugiriéndose una conceptualización más cercana a la teoría de los rasgos, o una interpretación más laxa en cuanto al desarrollo emocional se refiere. La conclusión final es que este constructo tal vez haya sido algo sobredimensionado y no tenga tanta relevancia en el rendimiento académico como han pretendido algunos autores.ABSTRACTThis work aimed to use the Bar-On EQ-i:YV Emotional Quotient Inventory: Young Versión, adapted to the Spanish population by researchers of the University of Murcia in 2012, to a sample of 345 students of Compulsory Secondary Education (CSE) in a public center in Zaragoza, with a high level of immigration and diversity. Through an "ex post facto" correlation design, we analyzed the influence that independent variables exerted on the dependent variable number of suspended subjects. Likewise, variance analysis, among others were carried out using the SPSS version 22 and Lisrel 8.51 program, finding that the data are similar to those obtained in the original study, that men outperform women in the factor of mood and adaptability, and that these outweigh those in the interpersonal factor and in academic achievement. Regression analysis show that only the Interpersonal and Stress Management factors enter into the prediction equation, with positive but low correlations that explain little amount of variance, and that there are almost no differences in the factors in the four courses of the this educational stage, suggesting a conceptualization closer to the theory of traits, or a more lax interpretation in terms of emotional development. The final conclusion is that this construct may have been somewhat oversized and does not have as much relevance in academic performance as some authors have claimed.

This study focused on the effects of anthropometric variables on male handball champions in West Africa. An ex-post facto research design was adopted. The population of all male handball players in the West African University Games (University of Ilorin; University of Ghana and University of Abomey-Calavi) were participants in the study. Two research instruments were adopted in this study this includes measuring tape and a standard handball court. Census sampling technique was used to select all 37 players available during the contest. Census method is the method of statistical enumeration where all members of the population are studied . These players composed of (Wrist (cm) 18.88, Chest (cm) 17.78, mid-thigh(cm) 18.35, Wrist (cm) 91.96, Chest (cm) 95.02, mid-thigh 89.83, Wrist (cm) 49.37, mid-thigh 55.04, Wrist (cm) 49.26).   To test a substantive difference between the groups determined at 0.05alpha significant levels, descriptive and inferential statistics for t test and ANOVA Scheffe post hoc, multiple comparison tests were adopted. The results of this study showed that men players had considerable differences in anthropometric measurements. As the men's players were significantly different in the handle circumference (f=4.624>3.32 (0.05) df36); chest circumference (f=.750<3.32(0.05) df36). Coaches were recommended to focus on these variables in selecting and coaching processes (Wrist circumference, Chest curvature, Thigh). This study also recommends that this profiling should be adopted in players’ selection and the development of sport specific programs. Key words: Anthropometric, Performance, Wrist girth.
