*Abstract *
The essence of evaluating employees’ performance in any tertiary
institution is to realize the goals of the institution by
measuring the
contribution of each employee. Effective human resource evaluation
is
paramount to the development of any organization. An automated
method is
needed to remove the limitations and facilitate the duties of
human
resource management. In this paper, rough set theory, a
mathematical
technique that deals with vagueness and uncertainty of imperfect
data
analysis is adopted for the evaluation of academic staff profile
for
promotion, grants and other academic purposes. The entire
appraisal process
of academic staff was translated into a web-based application
where every
user can fill, edit, update, and submit the annual performance
evaluation
report form. The indiscernible property of rough set approach is a
unique
factor in assessing every academic staff under the department and
faculty/school by the head of department and dean respectively.
With this,
the system generates an information table handling all the
necessary
conditions for promoting academic staff and the corresponding
decisions
taken. A model for rating publications was proposed to reduce the
sentiments involved in manual rating. Reports were generated as
output of
each evaluation procedure. One hundred (100) dataset of academic
staff of
the Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria was used in
the
experiment to evaluate the performance of the system. The results
of the
system obtained score were compared with the institution standard
and it
was found that the system scores were above standard, the average
precision
of the system shows 60% effectiveness which showed that the
proposed system
is efficient for academic performance evaluation process.

AJIS publishes high quality contributions to the global
Information Systems
(IS) discipline with an emphasis on theory and practice on the
Australasian
context.
Topics cover core IS theory development and application (the
nature of
data, information and knowledge; formal representations of the
world, the
interaction of people, organisations and information technologies;
the
analysis, design and deployment of information systems; the
impacts of
information systems on individuals, organisations and society), IS
domains
(e-business, e-government, e-learning, e-law, etc) and IS research
approaches.
Research and conceptual development based in a very wide range of
epistemological methods are welcomed.
All manuscripts undergo double blind reviewing by at least 2 well
qualified
reviewers. Their task is to provide constructive, fair, and timely
advice
to authors and editor.
AJIS welcomes research and conceptual development of the IS
discipline
based
in a very wide range of epistemologies. Different types of
research paper
need to be judged by different criteria. Here are some assessment
criteria
that may be applied:
• Relevance - topic or focus is part of the IS discipline.
• Effectiveness - paper makes a significant contribution to the IS
body of knowledge.
• Impact - paper will be used for further research and/or
practice.
• Uniqueness - paper is innovative, original & unique.
• Conceptual soundness - theory, model or framework made explicit.
• Argument - design of the research or investigation is sound;
methods appropriate.
• Clarity - Topic is clearly stated; illustrations, charts &
examples
support content.
• Reliability - data available; replication possible.
• References - sound, used appropriately, and sufficient –
appropriate AJIS articles referenced
• Style - appropriate language, manuscript flows.
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the
principle
that making research freely available to the public supports a
greater
global exchange of knowledge.
AJIS has been published since 1993 and appears in the Index of
Information
Systems Journals, is ranked "A" by both the Australian Council of
Professors and Heads of Information Systems and the Australian
Business
Deans' Council.
In addition to web distribution, AJIS is distributed by EBSCO, it
is listed
in Cabell's International Directory and is indexed by EBSCO,
Elsevier,
Scopus and the Directory of Open Access Journals.
Thanks for the continuing interest in our work,
Cheers
