central administrative office

The main office that does the daily work and organization for a group, such as a party, union, or international body.

用法パターン: the secretariat of [an organization]
よくある間違い:
Learners often confuse “secretariat” with “secretary.” A “secretary” is a person, while a “secretariat” is an office or department. Also, learners sometimes use it for small companies where “office” or “administration” would be more natural in everyday English.

group of administrative staff

The team of people who do the main office and management work for a group or organization.

用法パターン: the secretariat [does/prepares/coordinates] [something]
よくある間違い:
Learners sometimes treat “secretariat” as a single person, saying things like “the secretariat is a good leader.” In this sense, it refers to a group of staff, not to one individual. For a single person, “secretary” or the person’s title (e.g., “general secretary”) is used instead.
類義語
management (Broad term for the group that runs an organization; less specifically administrative and more leadership-focused than ‘secretariat’.) | administrative staff (Describes the function of the group clearly but is a more general, descriptive term than the set phrase ‘secretariat’.) | executive committee (Usually higher-level decision-makers; overlaps when a secretariat has significant decision-making power.)
対義語
rank and file (Refers to ordinary members or workers, contrasting with the central administrative group, the secretariat.)
