Web-based faculty evaluation with recommendation support module using analytic hierarchy process algorithm

Abstract

The performance appraisal system including methods and procedures used in Colleges and Universities are continuously re-examined, reviewed, and revised to fit their purposes and effectiveness in promoting faculty development, productivity, giving of incentives and decisions on personnel actions. This study aims to develop and offer an alternative system of evaluation process for faculty members. Specifically, this study focused on the development of the Web-based Faculty Evaluation with Recommendation Support Module using Analytic Hierarchy Process Algorithm which may give efficient way of evaluating faculty performance. The AHP algorithm was applied for shrewd analysis of the necessary recommendations needed for performance improvement of the faculty member, but it is still subjected to consideration of the decision maker. This research used the descriptive and developmental methods as this involved development and survey of its acceptability. The findings of the study showed that the overall assessment of the system yielded (n=379, M=4.6) with a interpretation as “Strongly Acceptable”. This implies that the developed system address problems met on the existing evaluation process with all the methodologies used especially with the aide of AHP. We are hopeful that with this, the University management will improve its faculty development program.
