Integration of Iot-Knowledge-Based Architecture in the Development of the Daily Time Records System for the Ministry of Science and Technology, Philippines

This study investigates the effectiveness and acceptance of the Daily Time Records System (DTRS) in the Ministry of Science and Technology. Most employees reported challenges with the existing manual system in accomplishing their Daily Time Records (DTR), highlighting a critical need for an automated and streamlined system. The DTRS was evaluated for its perceived usability, perceived ease of use, system quality, and fit, with findings suggesting substantial benefits in job performance, productivity, and daily time records management. Respondents perceived DTRS as user-friendly and accessible, describing the system as a high-quality tool that effectively meets their needs and expectations. Statistical analysis reveals significant correlations between perceived usability, ease of use, system quality, fit, and user intention to use and satisfaction. It has also been determined that while there is a high significant relationship with the other three dimensions and intention to use and user satisfaction, there is only a moderately significant relationship in terms of perceived usefulness. This can be attributed with the fact that DTRS is not a system directly used in the performance of the respondents’ jobs.
