Abstract

The purposes of this research and development project were 1) to develop an information system for personnel performance appraisal, and 2) to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed information system.

The process consisted of four stages: 1) planning; 2) system analysis; 3) system design; and 4) implementation. In the planning process, an in-depth interview with eight representatives drawn from the administrative and academic staffs in the Boromarajonani College of Nursing Saraburi was conducted to identify problems and needs of the information system. The effectiveness of the developed information system was evaluated through an online questionnaire by sixty two users selected from academic and support staffs.
