This document summarizes a research paper on designing characteristics for a human resource information system (HRIS). The paper proposes a framework to help design HRIS characteristics for future improvement strategies. It uses several models and theories to validate its findings, including the Technology Acceptance Model, DeLone and McLean Model of IS Success, case study approach, experiment and survey approach, and combinatorial approach. The paper contributes to research on HRIS design by developing a general framework that combines different approaches to study characteristics.
