Adoption of Accreditation Data Management System in the Context of Higher Education

Abstract

This study evaluates faculty perceptions of an accreditation data management system, focusing on its usability, functionality, and impact on productivity. The evaluation encompasses various indicators such as data management integrity, interface design, cloud storage capabilities, disaster recovery, and reporting functionalities. Faculty members expressed high satisfaction with the system. Particularly notable are the positive perceptions of cloud storage for data backup and disaster recovery, which are crucial for institutional resilience and data accessibility. The system's ability to enhance productivity and work efficiency is also strongly endorsed. Regression analysis identifies file maintenance as a significant positive factor influencing perceived usefulness (t Stat = 4.821, P-value = 0.040), while other factors like information storage, usability, and system functions did not show statistically significant effects. These findings suggest that while the system is effective and well-received overall, further improvements in information storage and usability could enhance user satisfaction and system efficiency. This study underscores the importance of robust file maintenance and comprehensive reporting in data management systems to meet faculty needs and support academic and administrative functions effectively.
