Abstract
This paper presents a neural network model for accomplishing the task of performance evaluation of academic staff of tertiary institutions. Data was collected from 10 randomly selected institutions using the completed Annual/Appraisal Performance and Evaluation Report (APER) form for academic staff. Fifteen Human Resource Metrics were considered which were classified under three main factors namely: Research, Teaching and Service. These are the major Human Resource foci of the Tertiary Institutions. The datasets were divided into three: train, validation and test data. The train data was presented to the Supervised Neural Network to approximate the fifteen Human Resource variables. The learning parameters for the training and testing of the survey data varied from 0. 07 to 0. 1 and the momentum parameter approached zero value (0. 01 to 0. 03). Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) was computed for both the parametric models (Principal Component 0. 80 and Factor Analysis 0. 15). The result revealed that Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network (MPNN) with back propagation algorithm got better outcome when compared with those parametric models. Experimental results in this study demonstrated that MPNN based model can closely predict the Human Resource metrics, with minimum RSME at 90%.
