Description
Summary:Work task performance is a process of ensuring that activities and productivity of employees are in accordance with organizational aims and vision. This process is deemed to be the responsibility of the supervisors and it is believed that excellent work task performance can enhance productivity that can leads to better outcome. Hence, there are several important factors influence to task performance such as Perceived Supervisor Support (PSS), Self-Management (SM) and Self-Competency (SC). Thus, this proposed study intends to combine the impacts of all these predictors concerning the graduates of the Doctorate of Philosophy particularly to know if these factors have influenced their previous academic performance. Subsequently, the Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) Malaysia and scholarship awarded university impose a necessary condition for the PhD Candidates to graduate on time within three years without any extension granted under any circumstances. Therefore, it is essential for the postgraduate students enrolled in masters and doctoral programs to complete their studies within the stipulated period (Graduate on time). Thus, MyPhD Planner is an online system which is developed to provide a platform for PhD Candidates in planning, coordinating and monitoring their PhD journey. The purpose of this online system is to assist the PhD candidates in organising their studies and facilitate the organisations in achieving their target percentage of Graduate on Time (GOT) for PhD students. © 2018 Author(s).
