Abstract

Currently, colleges and academic institutes are continually updating their information systems to keep up with the ever-changing job market requirements and, more significantly, to stay competitive. Such changes do have a positive or negative impact on the performance of the academic staff. Information systems can also make planning simpler, particularly in large institutes where managers or heads of institutions often do not have a strong personal touch with the scene of the education process. Therefore, this paper aimed to examines the impact of the information system on improving the performance of academic staff at colleges and institutes—the empirical data collected from Erbil Polytechnic University (EPU) in Kurdistan, Iraq. The convenience sampling technique used for obtaining data from academic members. However, through a survey obtained a total of 305 functional questionnaires, and evaluated the data using the partial least square PLS. The result suggested that the information systems have a significant positive impact on the performance of academic members. This research will contribute to the universities, both in Iraq and worldwide, in understanding how approaches for information systems are necessary to sustain a long-term relationship with the performance of academic staff.
