关于我国秘书职业定义的再探讨

Further Probe into the Definition of Secretary as an Occupation in Our Country

我国秘书职业经过二十余年秘书工作的发展和学科的前进,已经得到我国劳动部门与教育部门和秘书学界的公认。目前关于秘书定义的提法多种多样,版本不一,本文依据秘书的共性特征,对劳动部、教育部两个含官方色彩的秘书职业定义进行商榷,提出了较为精确的秘书定义———“从事信息性、事务性或技术性工作,近距离辅助领导决策与管理的职员”。

The secretary profession, through the development of this line and the advance of this discipline for more than 20 years, has been recognized by relative competent labor authorities, Ministry of Education and the secretary academic community. As there are various definitions of secretary in different editions, this article, based on analyses of common secretarial characteristics and careful comparison of the two official definitions of secretary by Department of Labor and Ministry of Education, offers a more precise definition of secretary ＂a person handles correspondence, clerical work or technical job and keeps short range to his leader or boss in assistance of his or her decision - making and management.＂
