Abstract: The implementation of a biometric attendance maintenance system is one method to address the management of employees to confirm attendance and ensure the effective delivery of services. With rise of globalization, it is becoming essential to find the easier and more effective system to help an organization to improve their employee productivity and efficiency. Employee attendance management system is an easy way to keep track on attendance of staff within organization. Among all the biometric techniques, fingerprint-based identification is the oldest method which has been successfully used in numerous applications. Everyone is known to have unique, immutable finger prints. A finger print is made of a series of ridges and furrows on the surface of the finger. As the level of security breaches and transaction fraud increases, the need for highly secure identification and personal verification technologies is becoming apparent. Biometrics has long been touched as a powerful tool for solving identification. In addition to growing needs for fast, accurate and dependable security biometrics technology has recently begun to enter into public consciousness. The empirical literature review indicates the attitudes of the faculties towards biometric attendance systems which are influenced by subjective norms, perceptions of usefulness and ease of use, and concerns related to privacy and technical issues. While faculty members recognize the advantages of these systems in streamlining attendance management, there are concerns about data privacy and potential errors in recognition. The findings of the study provide a foundation for the future study.
