A Decision Support System For Placement And Transfer Of Teachers

One of the core functions of HRM is about assigning the right people to the right post. With changing organization and personal needs as time goes by, location and relocation of personnel can be an on going exercises in an organization. In Malaysia, teacher and school is a part of the public service. With centralized administration and life long employment, matching organization needs with personnel requirements through recruitment, placement and transfer is a challenge. For education, matching teachers with the right academic qualifications and subjects taught is crucial to ensure quality education in school. The District Education Office (DEO) plays a crucial role in matching available teacher resources with subject-teacher vacancies available in schools. DEO needs to ensure that schools have enough teachers with the right options, but at the same time, take care of the welfare of teachers by placing them in their preferred schools. The two needs were satisfied through two separate but mutually influencing processes, i.e. transfer and placement of teachers. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the use of decision models and IT to facilitate the matching process. The paper compares the use of weighting methods, sequential elimination by conjunctive constraints and sequential elimination by Lexicography, and in making the decision

Rubric for Assessing ICT Vision, Plan, Policies and Standards in Malaysian Higher Education

The paper proposes a rubric for assessing the ICT vision, plan, policies and standards in Malaysian higher education institutions. Based on a selection of twelve survey questionnaires and rubrics that are used to assess ICT implementation, the paper identifies sixteen performance indicators. ICT vision is assessed based on who drives the vision, its focus and the level of awareness and understanding by the campus community. The indicators for ICT plan include the scope of plan, participation in plan development, level of detail, funding for plan and multi-year planning. ICT policies and standards cover the scope, characteristic, participation in the development, level of development and implementation, awareness and understanding by the campus community and how they are reviewed. The paper then uses these indicators to describe the characteristics of three case higher education institutions representing low, moderate and high level of ICT implementation

Understanding E-Portfolio Continuance Intention among Students: A Self-Determination Perspective

This paper proposed an extended information system continuance model (ISCM) in the context of e- Portfolio utilization among students, Based on self-determination theory (SDT). The purpose was to investigate the factors influencing students’ continuance intention towards using e-Portfolio. The 370 usable data were collected and analysed further using partial least squares. In the proposed model, satisfaction, perceived usefulness, confirmation, perceived autonomy and perceived competence were found to be significant in explaining the students’ continuance intention to use e-Portfolio. The results of this study show that applying SDT to e-Portfolio in higher education institution can be useful to predict the students’ continuance intention

Persepsi kualiti servis sistem maklumat di IPTA: Kajian kes Universiti Teknologi Malaysia

Servis sistem maklumat (SSM) merupakan satu elemen yang penting dalam menjayakan sistem maklumat (SM) di organisasi. Kualiti servis menjadi tumpuan pengurusan sistem maklumat bagi sesebuah organisasi, di samping kualiti teknikal dan kualiti maklumat. SSM mempengaruhi keberkesanan sistem maklumat dan seterusnya mempengaruhi produktiviti individu dan organisasi. Rantaian nilai ini sangat diutamakan untuk mencapai produktiviti yang optima. Semakin besar peranan yang dimainkan oleh sistem maklumat, semakin penting peranan yang dipikul oleh SSM. Pengurusan kualiti servis amat dititikberatkan dalam menguruskan SM bagi memastikan pengguna dapat memanfaatkan SM sepenuhnya. Adalah mustahak bagi pengurus SM untuk memahami ciri-ciri kualiti yang diharapkan oleh pengguna dari SSM tersebut. SSM ditakrif sebagai aktiviti yang menyokong dan memudahkan pengguna dalam mengeksploitasikan SM di dalam organisasi. SSM merangkumi penyediaan prasarana Teknologi Maklumat (TM) dan perkhidmatan yang menyokong pengguna untuk menggunakan prasarana tersebut. Seperti servis lain, SSM melibatkan interaksi antara pelanggan dan pembekal servis. Namun begitu bagi kes SSM, servis mungkin dibekalkan oleh staf yang mewakili unit pembekal servis atau diperolehi terus daripada prasarana TM. Antara SSM adalah seperti penggunaan sistem maklumat berkomputer (SMB), pembangunan SMB, penggunaan sistem e-mel, khidmat perundingan, penyenggaraan dan baik pulih komputer peribadi serta latihan/ kursus TM. Artikel ini membentangkan hasil kajian kes yang telah dikendalikan di kampus induk Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Perbandingan tanggapan kualiti servis dari perspektif pelanggan dan pembekal SSM akan dibincangkan. Pengenalpastian ciri-ciri kualiti SSM boleh membantu pengurusan SM untuk memahami keperluan pelanggannya dan membuat penambahbaikan berdasarkan maklum balas yang diperolehi
