Design of Lecturer Performance Decision Support System Using Analytical Network Process Method

Abstract

Improving the quality of education in higher education is highly dependent on the performance of lecturers, which includes teaching ability, contribution in research, community service, and other academic and non-academic activities. This study aims to design and implement a Decision Support System for measuring lecturer performance using the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method at Universitas Teknologi Akba Makassar (UNITAMA). The ANP method was chosen because of its ability to handle relationships between interdependent criteria. The study used a quantitative approach with descriptive and explanatory research types. Data were collected through document studies and interviews with related parties at UNITAMA. The results of system testing using the black box method showed that the system ran well as expected. This system is able to provide a comprehensive picture of lecturer performance and support more objective decision making. This study also opens up opportunities for further development, such as integration with other academic systems and feature enhancements based on institutional needs.
