Ensuring the Productivity of Higher Learning Institutions Through Electronic Records Management System (ERMS)

Abstract

Although electronic records management system (ERMS) is important in bringing about the productivity of organizations, majority of them refuse to implement it, while a few embark on implementing it blindly, without guidance, which often results in failure. This paper, therefore, proposed a model for the ERMS adoption to support the productivity and performance of higher professional education (HPE) institutions in the Yemeni context. This paper used the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and a mixed explanatory approach to gather quantitative and qualitative data. Data were then analyzed through the use of SPSS 21, with SEM and Smart PLS V3 software used to test the proposed model. The model was also confirmed by five experts who were interviewed to obtain qualitative data. Based on the analysis results, all the fit indices met the recommended values range that assumed the acceptability of the developed model. The model was found to be of a good fit, and the theory upon which the model was developed was stable. The quantitative findings showed that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating conditions, policy, and training have a significant relationship with the ERMS adoption, which in return has a significant relationship with HPE organizations' productivity. This was supported by the qualitative results, confirming the theoretical study and contributing to the understanding of the ERMS adoption among HPEs. Such adoption ensures educational institutions' productivity.

The adoption of electronic records management system (ERMS) in the Yemeni oil and gas sector

“…According to the experts’ ranking of the factors, compatibility is one of the most crucial factors influencing ERMS adoption in the O&G sector in Yemen (ranked first among the four factors of the technology dimension), which is in line with prior studies (Johnston and Bowen, 2005; Mukred et al , 2019b).…”

As a whole, factors related to the organization were the most often cited reasons for the limited KMS usage.…”

“…Higher educational institutions have responded by concentrating on students' sufficient professional and career preparation through the stress on market demands of specific outcomes or abilities. Such outcome-based approaches are directed towards assessing the students' performance and knowledge, mitigating the gap between university learning and practice in their actual careers [1][2][3].…”
