Abstract

Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is a measurable value that demonstrates how effectively an organization is achieving its main objectives. At IIUM, academics are allocated forty (40) hours working time in a week to achieve KPIs comprise of teaching, research, publication, supervision, consultancy and administration. Academics are said to spend more time in order to achieve the KPIs. This study is conducted to identify and compare required allocated and actual working time spent by academics at Department of Quantity Surveying, Kulliyyah of Architecture and Environmental Design, IIUM. The study deployed 1) content analysis on teaching schedule for academic session 2014/2015, and 2) detailed interviews with six (6) academic staff at Department of Quantity Surveying, KAED, IIUM. The key results from the study appears that more than 50% of the academics’ working time on average were spent for teaching and its related tasks i.e. preparation of courses, marking of assignments and students’ consultations. In addition, the study found that academics are willing to work beyond the allocated required working time in order to achieve KPIs of the university. The outcomes of the study suggest that academics at Department of Quantity Surveying, KAED are dedicated and committed to achieve beyond the targeted KPIs for a more effective and quality academic performance as well as contributions to the university.
