DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND ADMINISTRATIVE PERFORMANCE IN TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS IN RIVERS STATE
Abstract
This study examines database management systems and administrative performance in tertiary
institutions in Rivers State. The study adopted the correlational research design. The population of the
study comprised the 3007 academic staff in the four selected public tertiary institutions in Rivers State. A
sample of three hundred and forty-six (346) respondents were selected. A 30-item structured instrument
titled “Database Management Systems and Administrative Performance in Tertiary Institutions
Questionnaire” (DMSAPTIQ) was used for the collection of data. Data collected was analyzed using
Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) to answer research questions 1 and 2, while Multiple
Regression Analysis was used to answer research question 3 at 0.05 level of significance. The study
revealed r values of 0.789, and 0.732 with same p values of .000, indicated a strong, positive, and
statistically significant correlation between database management systems (DBMS) and the decisionmaking process, and productivity respectively in tertiary institutions in Rivers State. The result showed
that the regression model is significant (F(2,307)=256.37, p<.001, R²=.718), explaining 71.8% of the
variance of DBMS effectiveness in administrative performance in tertiary institutions in Rivers State. The
study recommended that tertiary institution governing councils in Rivers State should formulate and
mandate a Data-Driven Decision-Making (DDDM) Policy for all significant administrative, academic,
and strategic decisions. Alongside, the management in tertiary institutions, should individually or
collectively, adopt an Integrated Performance Enhancement Strategy for technology investment decision making and productivity.
