Data envelopment analysis with upper bound on output to measure efficiency performance of departments in Malaikulsaleh University

Abstract

Abstract. The higher education system in Indonesia can be considered not only as an important source of developing knowledge in the country, but also could create positive living conditions for the country. Therefore it is not surprising that enrollments in higher education continue to expand. However, the implication of this situation, the Indonesian government is necessarily to support more funds. In the interest of accountability, it is essential to measure the efficiency for this higher institution. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a method to evaluate the technical efficiency of production units which have multiple input and output. The higher learning institution considered in this paper is Malikussaleh University located in Lhokseumawe, a city in Aceh province of Indonesia. This paper develops a method to evaluate efficiency for all departments in Malikussaleh University using DEA with bounded output. Accordingly, we present some important differences in efficiency of those departments. Finally we discuss the effort should be done by these departments in order to become efficient.

Efficiency of Turkish Health Management Departments through Data Envelopment Analysis

“…When dealing with inflexible (not completely under control) inputs, Tyagi et al (2009) recommend using the output-oriented approach. Moreover, numerous studies have adopted the outputoriented model for evaluating the efficiencies of universities/ departments (Abdullah et al, 2017;Barra et al, 2018;Berbegal-Mirabent, 2018;De La Torre et al, 2017b;Duan, 2019;Gralka et al, 2019;Guironnet and Peypoch, 2018;Jauhar et al, 2018;Klumpp, 2018;Lehmann et al, 2018;Mikušová, 2017;Quiroga-Martínez et al, 2018;Visbal-Cadavid et al, 2017;Wang, 2019). The output-oriented strategy was used in this study as well, because the input sources were difficult to control and it was more critical to maximize the outputs, which is consistent with the literature.…”

“…Many research on efficiency analysis in higher education have been published in recent years. While some of these studies focused on the efficiency of universities, vocational high schools, grammar schools and faculties (Kempkes and Pohl, 2010;Ozel Kadılar, 2015), others looked at the efficiency of individual departments within a university or faculty (Abdullah et al, 2017;Altamirano-Corro and Peniche-Vera, 2014;Barra and Zotti, 2016b;Jauhar et al, 2018;Kashim et al, 2018;Sirbu et al, 2016;Halásková et al, 2022).…”

A Slack-Based Measures for Improving the Efficiency Performance of Departments in Universitas Malikussaleh

“…The values − ∈ and + ∈ indicate the input surplus and output shortage of this expression, respectively, and are called slacks. From the conditions X > 0 and ≥ 0, it holds 0 ≥ − (5) using sand s + , we define an index as follows,…”

“…Research conducted by [4] there are 2 (two) main outputs that can be used to measure the performance of universities, namely: the number of graduates and the number of publications. [5] has develops a method to evaluate efficiency for all departments in Universitas Malikussaleh using DEA with bounded output. A main objective of DEA is to measure the efficiency of a Decision Making Unit (DMU) by a scalar measure, ranging between zero (the worst) and one (the best) [6].…”

Data Envelopment Analysis for the Efficiency of Higher Education Departments at Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology, Indonesia

“…The finding revealed that well-known universities tend to have lower efficiency scores. Furthermore, at the departments level at Malaikulsaleh University, a study by Abdullah et al (2017) used DEA to evaluate the efficiency of its departments. The study found that increasing the number of research could increase the efficiency scores.…”
