This paper presents some first results on trial running a KPI-based staff and faculty evaluation tool in the College of Engineering Technology (CoET), at the Can Tho University, Vietnam. In the old evaluation progress, at the end of a school year, top 15% ?excellent? staff and faculties were voted by an emulation committee. The polling result of ?excellent? rank always comes to people who are the managers of the organization or the leaders from the communist party such as heads of departments, dean board and general secretary of the party. Young faculties have less chance to archive excellent rank. Therefore, it lacks of motivation for them to dedicate for the college. After the development of a KPI-based evaluation tool and applying it in the school year 2012-2013, the results indicated those faculties who have involved in research and publication getting more chance to be ranked as excellent persons. And the number of people who hold high positions in the organization with teaching only, and without doing research is decreased up to 40% in total of excellent rank of the college comparing to the data of the last 2 years.
