Improving the Efficiency of Lecturer Research Assignment Letter Management through a Web-Based System

Abstract

The management of lecturer research assignment letters is an important part of university administration because it is directly related to the legality of research activities and lecturer performance reporting. However, in many institutions, the process of submitting and issuing assignment letters is still carried out manually, causing various problems, such as service delays, recording errors, and difficulties in filing and tracing documents. This research aims to design and implement a web-based lecturer research assignment management system to improve the efficiency and quality of administrative services. The research method used is the Research and Development (R&D) method with the stages of needs analysis, system design, development, testing, and implementation. The system is developed using web-based technology with key features including user authentication, online assignment submission, multi-level verification and approval, and integrated digital archiving. System testing is carried out through functionality tests and user feasibility tests. The results of the study show that the developed system is able to speed up the process of managing lecturers' research assignment letters, improve archive order, and make it easier for users to access and monitor the status of letters in real-time. Based on the results of the feasibility test, the system is considered feasible to use and effective in improving the efficiency of lecturer research administration in universities
