 Abstract:

Organizations develop information systems to meet significant business objectives, such as improving competitiveness, increasing productivity and efficiency, accelerating growth, supporting innovation, and reducing costs. In this paper, a novel framework that is designed and can be used at Shaqra University in order to determine the necessity of faculty members in this university is proposed. This web-based system could provide various information and details about the faculty members, their teaching hours, and also the information about majors in which the faculty members are teaching. The main objective of the proposed system is to decrease the cost and help the higher-level managers to make decisions and also to reduce the time and effort exerted to determine the needs of Shaqra University. The primary purpose of this work is to describe the benefits of the system. It highlights the problems and reasons for developing and adopting the policy. The idea about the proposed framework is explained by an analysis that uses an acceptance model to assure the adaptability of the proposed system in Shaqra University.
