Examining the instructor management benefits of student information system: An empirical investigation

Abstract

Over the years, the student information system has been widely used across different institutions of learning. Even though the system kept evolving as an essential’ system for managing the student's academic routines and other valuable student information, its instructor management net benefits in Nigerian universities were not ascertained. This study utilizes an amended Delone and Mclean IS success model to examine the instructor management net benefit of student information system by incorporating the “student information system management net benefits” in place of the original model construct “Net Benefits”. Sample data collected from 382 instructors across three Nigerian Universities were utilized by the study in order to examine the system success concerning its management benefits for the instructors, using a structural equation modelling method to verify the proposed study model. The study results indicated that both system quality and information quality significantly affect the use and user satisfaction of the system towards attaining the system's management benefits by the University instructors. Therefore, the study adds to the body of a substantive amount of literature by exposing the critical elements that elaborate and predict instructor management net benefits of the student information system.
