Relationship between determinants of MyCPD (Continuous Professional Development) and employee effectiveness among non academic staff of Universiti Sains Malaysia

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the determinants of MyCPD (Continuous Professional Development) and employee effectiveness. The determinants in the study are identified as IT infrastructure, human resource, and policy. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using questionnaires which were distributed to non-academic in grades between 41 and 54 at Universiti Sains Malaysia. A total of 135 responses were obtained. Pearson Correlation ( Coefficient (r) Value) was used to determine the relationship between the determinants of MyCPD and employee effectiveness. The analysis results show that there is a significant and positive relationship between all the determinants of MyCPD and employee effectiveness. On the other hand, the Multiple Regression analysis results indicates that 55.1 per cent of the variance in employee effectiveness is significantly explained by the determinants of MyCPD. The results also show that human resource and policy are significantly related to employee effectiveness. Human resource is weakly related to employee effectiveness while policy is moderately related.
