1.0. Introduction
The Information management system in an institution is one of the important areas that need
greater attention. This is where the database of every individual, transaction track record as
well as the identity of items that circulates in any institution. (Squara, 2013) Reveal that
sophisticated machines are needed due to the need for improving the capabilities of better
decision making, and development of several cybercrimes across the globe (José, 2011).
Technological revolution has simplified and provided secrecy across the sectors of the
economy, however, technical experts are also developing software’s to hack systems
(Chakraborty, 2019) to obtain the data, this has become a common threat and individuals
from both private and public sector are always trying to find ways on how to upgrade their
management information system (GRISHKO, 2014). This research, therefore, is worth being
conducted to asses how the performance of the management information systems is being
influenced by hardware, software, networking and telecommunication, and the decision
support system.
1.2. Problem statement
Following the rise of computer security threats (Stafford, 2010) and the need to improve
decision making based on the data that are gathered in the information management systems,
individuals as well as the institution are concerned with how to upgrade the information
management system (Anisimova, 2009) and at the same time curb the issue of computer
security threats. This study, therefore, asses how hardware, software, network and
communication, and the decision support system affect the information management system
general performance at company XYZ.
1.3. Research questions
1. What factors affect the information management system general performance?
2. How do these factors being investigated affect the information management system
general performance?
3. To improve existing information management system, what must or should it be
done?

1.4. Research objective
The general objective of this study is to determine the factors that affect information
management system general performance
1.4.1. Specific objectives
1. To investigate if there is a linear relationship between the hardware and the
information management system general performance
2. To identify the effect of the software on information management system general
performance.
3. To identify the effect of networking and telecommunication on information
management system general performance.
4. To investigate how decision support system, affect information management system
general performance
1.5. Hypothesis testing
H0: There is no association between the dependent and independent variables.
H1: There is an association between the dependent and independent variables
2.0. Data collection and data description
This study utilized secondary data that was gathered in the information management system.
The quantitative data consists of five variables namely hardware, software, network and
telecommunication, decision support system, and the information management system
general performance.
2.1. Data analysis
The data were analyzed by use of excel. Correlation analysis was conducted to investigate
how does the dependent and independent variables correlate. Regression and analysis of
variance were employed to develop the model that demonstrates the linear relationship
between the independent factors and the dependent factor.
2.2. Correlation
Correlation analysis is carried out to assess the relationship between variables. Of more
interest in this analysis, is the correlation between the dependent and independent variables
The correlation coefficient between hardware and Information Management system
performance is 0.024 implying a positive association between the two variables. A change in
hardware in one direction results in a change in the general system performance in the same
direction.
