Development and implementation of real-time staff performance monitoring and evaluation system based on Global Positioning System (GPS)

Abstract

This work presents the development and implementation of a Real-Time Staff Performance Monitoring and Evaluation System (RT-SPMES) using Global Positioning System (GPS) technology. In line with the dynamism of the workplace, due to rapid changes in technology, existing staff performance appraisal systems have fallen short of expectations due to their manual nature. Hence, the need arises for a more robust approach to monitoring and evaluating employee work performance. To achieve this, this work carried out an exhaustive review of existing performance evaluation methods within the academic and a conceptual architecture was developed. A real-time monitoring and evaluation system was developed, using PHP programming language, Hyper Text Markup Language and Cascading Styles Sheet. The system is hosted on Azure Cloud infrastructure. Through sufficient testing of the developed system developed in this work, it was asserted effectively monitors employee performance in real-time, paving the way for an objective appraisal process devoid of bias and manipulation.
