Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This research examines the impact of digital transformation on university governance at ENSA Agadir, focusing on faculty needs regarding digital decision support platforms. The study, conducted through a questionnaire survey among faculty members (Assistant Professors, Associate Professors, and Full Professors), reveals a significant gap between current digital tool usage and actual needs for administrative decision-making.Results show that 80% of faculty use course management systems and 90% use internal communication tools, but only 30% employ digital tools for administrative decision-making.The absence of dedicated platforms negatively impacts efficiency according to 80% of respondents, primarily due to lack of data to support decisions (70%) and delays in collective decision-making (50%).Faculty express a strong need for access to student evaluation data (80%) and pedagogical performance monitoring (70%).Despite a high recommendation rate for adopting such a platform (90%), obstacles persist, notably lack of training (60%) and resistance to change (20%).This study reveals an important need for a digital decision support platform that would improve coordination and data management, thus facilitating more efficient and collaborative decision-making within the institution.
