Disguise e-Code:

Revolution in the Administration of Lecturers and University Students

Abstract

The disguise e-Code is an administration mechanism to solve human capital problems in an organisation. It is intended to solve human capital problems like uneven distribution of assignments which can lead to an uncomfortable and suspicious working environment among staff. This will eventually demotivate the staff to provide their best service and full cooperation to complete any program or task successfully. The disguise e-Code will exchange staff’s real name which is only known by their superior. Thus, any problems that occur among staff can be discussed openly without prejudice because it is tagged as anonymous and only based on the single task data alone. Next, corrective actions can be taken more easily. To facilitate the systematic use of this e-Code system, mobile applications were developed as the supporting tools. In this study, a series of surveys were conducted on staff and students to understand their perception on the implementation of disguise e-Code. For the staff, the questionnaires were distributed at the end of the meeting to the attendees who used this disguise e-Code. There were more than 60 respondents among the staff. Meanwhile, more than 100 students filled up the questionnaire after they checked their results via disguise   e-Code app. The questionnaires were analysed by using quantitative method, based on a 5-point Likert Scale. The average score resulted from both respondents were more than 4.5 (Strongly Agree). This indicates that the disguise e-Code is an easy to understand and apply mechanism and has positively affected the organization, especially to solve sensitive issues. Moreover, from the students’ perception, the disguise e-Code is an easy-to-use application. Hence, it is recommended that this mechanism should be applied as the best practice in any organisations, especially those with many staff and having difficulties in adopting open criticism among the staff.
