Electronic records management for effective administration of justice in Limpopo Province police stationsLegodi, Alex Lesiba January 2021 (has links)
Thesis (M.A. Information Studies (Electronic Records Management)) -- University of Limpopo, 2021 / There is a strong argument for a direct link between records management and delivery of justice to citizens in that to an extent that a country is ready to embrace information and communication technology (ICT), the lower the level of corruption in that country. This study investigated the role of electronic records management for effective delivery of justice in Limpopo Province police stations (LPPS) with the adoption of the exploratory survey research design based on quantitative and qualitative research approaches. The study adopted a pragmatic worldview to sample 100 police detective officers and 6 records managers with a 65% response rate in Lebowakgomo and Mankweng clusters of Limpopo province with the use of questionnaire and interview as data collection instruments. The study analysed quantitative data through SPSS for Windows while adopting Thematic Analysis for qualitative data.
This study found that the LPPS had inadequate human resource and ICT infrastructure capacity for effective electronic records management and delivery of justice to citizens; that e-docket system had a positive impact in enhancing electronic records management, specifically with 24hour access and timely sharing of records; that poor internet connection emerged as the most prominent challenge faced when managing records; and that monitoring of the e-docket system and increased human resource and ICT infrastructure capacity could improve electronic records management. The study made the following recommendations in order to enable effective delivery of justice to citizens through electronic records management in LPPS: that there be minimum training requirements for those working with records in order to cultivate a culture of appreciating proper records management; that police stations be provided with enough computers with adequate network capacity; that a qualified records manager be appointed to administrate the management of records; and that offsite backup be implemented to ensure system recovery in case of disaster. / National Research Foundation (NRF)
