Biometric technology as a
means of identifying and verifying an individual’s characteristic is widely
used in many aspects of peoples’ lives nowadays. In this regard, Local
Government Unit (LGU) uses this technology to provide a more comprehensive
system in monitoring employee attendance and how it may affect their
performance. The study assesses the impact of the use about the Biometric Attendance Recording System (BARS) on
the work performance of Local Government Unit (LGU) employees based on their
Individual Performance Commitment Review (IPCR) rating and the respondents’
self-assessment and perception. Noticeably, the majority of the respondents
perceived that the use of BARS had a positive impact on work performance. Results
also demonstrated a significant increase in respondents’ level of performance.
