“…One of these -average time to complete the degree -is an efficiency measure which has been suggested and used by a number of researchers and evaluators (e.g., Berstecher (1972) and Loeb and Duff (1974)). Two other criteria output quantity and average academic performance -are measures of effectiveness which have also been incorporated into or recommended by a variety of studies (e.g.…”

Efficiency and effectiveness are two important criteria to be incorporated into any evaluation of a higher education institute. Indicators of these features have, however, been difficult to define. Little work has been reported attempting to determine those characteristics perceived to be important by people involved in higher education. The present study seeks to identify, in the Indonesian context, certain broad indicators which are seen by teaching staff to be important. The study also assesses whether these indicators reflect the characteristics of the institutions in which the staff are employed. Seven criteria for indicators are identified empirically, these addressing quite disparate features of an institution's environment.The rapid expansion of higher education has been a feature of education systems in both developed and developing countries since the 1960s. During the intervening years, enrolments increased many times and brought with them attendant demands for huge increases in resources. Many articles and books have described or analysed this phenomenon. Perhaps over the more recent past however, resources devoted to education have not had the same degree of elasticity as they had earlier. More constraints are now imposed with the consequence that educational institutions need to be evaluated more carefully, especially with regard to their efficiency and effectiveness. S adlak (1978, p. 213) points out that "it is in this context that the problem of efficiency in higher education becomes significant," while Bowen and Douglass (1971, p. 2) posit that "one approach to solving the problem (of limited resources) is to improve the operating efficiency of colleges and universities".

“…Coombs (1969), for example, defined cost per student as being a measure of efficiency, as did Bowen and Douglass (1971). Similarly, Loeb and Duff(1974) defined the average time to obtain a degree as a measure of efficiency. Approaches such as these are oriented toward economic considerations rather than to educational, institutional and human considerations.…”
