Abstract

Biometric technology that involves the identification and verification of individuals by analyzing the human body characteristics has been widely used in various aspect of life for different purposes, most importantly as regards this study the issue of staff attendance. Despite the numerous advantages of the biometric system and its impact to various work sectors across the globe, most biometric technology users face the issue of defining the right and accurate biometric technology system that will be cost effective in solving particular problems in specific environment. In this paper, a study was conducted using a telecommunication company in the South West region of Nigeria, in order to determine the specific biometric identifier that can be used to enhance their traditional staff attendance system which presently affects the productivity of the organization. The study was conducted using a quantitative approach by designing a questionnaire as the data collection instrument based on different biometric technologies. The survey involved 37 employees based on stratified random sampling technique. The results however show that fingerprint biometric identifier was found suitable for the staff attendance management system of the organization. It therefore, implies that attention should be paid to several factors before recommending biometric technology as a means of improving the productivity of an organization business processes.
