This study investigated a process model of educational information management in institutional research for teaching and learning. Educational information management was assumed to be composed of four aspects: data utilization purpose, data utilization structure, database development, and data analysis and reporting. A total of 248 institutions responded to a nationwide questionnaire survey that was administered to four-year universities and two-year junior colleges. Covariance structure analysis revealed a set of processes in which data utilization purpose facilitated the preparation of a data utilization structure. Data utilization structure, in turn, prompted the development of a database. Finally, data analysis and reporting were executed. It was also indicated that data utilization purpose had a direct effect on data analysis and reporting. Multiple regression analysis regarding the characteristics of the institutions showed that the type and scale of the institution and its institutional mission affected four aspects of educational management.
