Abstract

Teamwork has been one of the effective responses to the changes over the years in the world of today. Teamwork is being relied upon as a preferred performance arrangement to fulfill visions, execute and achieve goals in all sectors. It is also one of the most important elements in continuous improvement systems, as it facilitates the sharing of information, problem solving and the development of employee responsibility. This study was on an intelligent coaching agent that modeled team performance using the Supervised Learning algorithm. The Object Oriented System Analysis and Design Methodology was used. For effective implementation of this study, some web application languages were used and these includes; Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), MySQL, Cascaded Style Sheet (CSS), Java Script, Dream weaver, and Fireworks. Dream weaver is an HTML-based application that is used to generate graphical user interfaces. This study was able to arrive at a system that will remove biases in performance evaluation since the performance appraisal is automatic; each task has been assigned a weighted score, so as soon as an employee performs the task the system automatically scores him/her. Making it easy to track individual performance as well as team performance. The system developed utilizes supervised learning to monitor the task executions and determine the weight score for the task before scoring the team. This system will help those that are worthy of keeping their jobs keep it and help improve employees that need to work on some specific areas to develop themselves as plainly revealed. The purpose of this study which is to demonstrate an event based performance approach via the design and implementation of intelligent coaching agents within a team training framework via supervised learning was achieved and the result shows positive impacts on team’s performance.
