Influence of Human Factors on the Relationship between AMT Adoption and Organ...paperpublications3
Abstract: the study used the contingency theory to study the effects of human factors on the relationship between Advanced Manufacturing Technology (AMT) adoption and organization structure. When empirically tested, the research findings present the interrelationships among the main effects (AMT index and human factors) and the interactions (AMT index*human factor index). The study revealed that there is a linear dependence of organizational index from the interaction index. This implies that changes in human factors positively and significantly affect AMT adoption and organizational structure relationship. The study confirms that it is essential for a company to match their technology investment and its integration with its human factors in order to achieve the intended manufacturing performance. The degree of fit between AMT index and organizational index was found to increase as human index increased. The findings of this study reiterate the importance and the need for proactive planning to facilitate changes in the organizational structure.

The current commercial context for the Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is an ever-changing environment that is strongly influenced by the information and communication technologies (ICTs). This has led enterprises to implement these technologies as supportive tools for their business processes. Nevertheless, a vast number of SMEs have not obtained favorable results in implementing ICTs, since the lack of knowledge about the potential and application of these technologies has made this technological implementation activity prevail as an action oriented to the simple acquisition of equipment and informatic systems with a short-term vision without considering a business strategy. The aim of this paper is to perform a literature review that shows evidence of the low utilization of ICTs in SMEs, particularly in the Mexican environment, which leads to proposing a different approach where enterprises consider Knowledge Management (KM) in the implementation of the informatic technology, leading to a conceptual model to ensure human, organizational and relational capital provide the proper capabilities to complement a strategy that implies carrying out a correct acquisition and application of knowledge that contributes to improving the utilization of ICTs in the business processes.
Present study aims to investigate the influence of ICTs dimensions (Information Technology (IT),
Management Information System (MIS), Office automation (OA), Intranet and Internet) on workforce
productivity for a group of industrial organizations in Alexandria - Egypt. The population of the study was

Conceptualizing Information Technology Governance Model for Higher Education:...journalBEEI
Information Technology (IT) governance has been emerging as a central issue in many organizations. This is because IT governance is key to realizing IT business value. Past studies have focused on the three aspects of IT governance, namely, structural capability, process capability and relational capability. At the same time, some studies have suggested that IT governance process should be viewed as a learning process rather than a problem solving process. Based on this scenario, the role of knowledge and knowledge based processes should be the central focus of IT governance. As a learning process, IT governance effectiveness can be determined by how much impact IT governance practices has influenced on decision-makers’ thinking and actions. In this case, knowledge capacity absorbed from IT governance experience reflects a certain level of organizational learning (OL) achieved which later influences the level of IT governance performance. Since studies that adopt this perspective is lacking, this paper proposes a conceptual framework based on absorptive capacity approach for an IT governance performance model in the higher education. The paper contributes theoretically by extending the knowledge of IT governance by exploring a new perspective on OL

Sociotechnical Management Model for Governance of an Ecosystem IJMIT JOURNAL
This is an opinion paper regarding a proposal of a model for a Ecosystemm Governance. In the globalized
world the importance of Information Systems (IS) and Information Technology (IT) become increasingly
relevant regarding the requirements imposed by competition. Both the knowledge of the business as the
rapid flow of information are fundamental for a enterprise decision making. Whereas the basic definition of
IT = hardware + software, i.e. , tools that has been used to create, store and disseminate data and
information in the creation of knowledge, and IS = IT + People + procedures that collect, process and
disseminate the information to support decision making, coordination, control, analysis and visualization
in the organization [01], it makes implicit the understanding of IS is essential to create competitive
companies, to manage global corporations and provide customers with products and services of value. In
this work we are correlating IS with the governance of management of an ecosystem.

User participation in ERP Implementation: A Case-based StudyEditor IJCATR
Information Systems (IS), such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, are being developed and used in
organizations to achieve their business goals and to enhance organizational effectiveness. The effect of user participation on
successful systems development and implementation of ERP systems continues to be an area of interest to researchers. Common
understanding has been that extensive user participation is not only important, but absolutely essential to system success. Even with
this understanding of user participation as one of the critical factor in successful IS development and implementation, empirical studies
have been unable to conclusively link user participation to systems success. This paper uses a private university as a case study to
examine the role played by user participation in the implementation of an ERP system. In order to achieve its objective, this study
adopted a mixed method where both qualitative and quantitative approaches were used in the collection of data. The results of the
study reveal that user participation has a positive impact on the likelihood of ERP system success, user participation by choice is the
best, user participation leads to better understanding of system requirements, the more participation the more the satisfied the users are,
and participation builds support for the system during implementation. From our results we conclude that user participation in ERP
system implementation is critical for successful implementation.

predetermined premise. It is found that the major constructs of performance and effort expectancy played
an insignificant role, and social influence and facilitating conditions did not influence the behavioral and
adoption intentions of social media by microbusiness owners. Owner characteristics and codification effort
dominated the use behavior. The goal of microbusiness owners in gaining additional customers leads to
behavioral modification resulting in replacing of behavioral intention with goals as a superior method of
predicting adoption behavior within the context of microbusinesses
EXTENDING UTAUT TO EXPLAIN SOCIAL MEDIA ADOPTION BY MICROBUSINESSESIJMIT JOURNAL
Bloom’s Taxonomy (BT) have been used to classify the objectives of learning outcome by dividing the learning into three different domains; the cognitive domain, the effective domain and the psychomotor domain. In this paper, we are introducing a new approach to classify the questions and learning outcome statements (LOS) into Blooms taxonomy (BT) and to verify BT verb lists, which are being cited and used by academicians to write questions and (LOS). An experiment was designed to investigate the semantic relationship between the action verbs used in both questions and LOS to obtain more accurate classification of the levels of BT. A sample of 775 different action verbs collected from different universities allows us to measure an accurate and clear-cut cognitive level for the action verb. It is worth mentioning that natural language processing techniques were used to develop our rules as to induce the questions into chunks in order to extract the action verbs. Our proposed solution was able to classify the action verb into a precise level of the cognitive domain. We, on our side, have tested and evaluated our proposed solution using confusion matrix. The results of evaluation tests yielded 97% for the macro average of precision and 90% for F1. Thus, the outcome of the research suggests that it is crucial to analyse and verify the action verbs cited and used by academicians to write LOS and classify their questions based on blooms taxonomy in order to obtain a definite and more accurate classification.
Success Factors for Enterprise Systems in the Higher Education Sector: A Case...inventionjournals
Many large organisations have moved to Enterprise System solutions in recent years, including the higher education sector (HES). Whilst the benefits of Enterprise systems are well known, the sector has a social mission and characteristics that do not necessarily map to a commercially-focused corporate conceptualization, and assessing the suitability of any particular enterprise solution requires a qualified set of criteria to be applied. This paper looks at an “essential set” of critical success factors (CSFs) relevant to enterprise systems in the HES and applies them in a case study of a large Australian University. The CSFs found to be most relevant to successful ES deployment show differences from CSFs reported in other studies, mainly those in commercial sectors, suggesting a sector based approach be taken to evaluating ES success. We generalise our practical findings to theory, and propose further theory development and validation through confirmatory case studies and specific hypothesis testing.

It is worth mentioning that natural language processing techniques were used to develop our rules as to induce the questions into chunks in order to extract the action verbs. Our proposed solution was able to classify the action verb into a precise level of the cognitive domain. We, on our side, have tested and evaluated our proposed solution using confusion matrix. The results of evaluation tests yielded 97% for the macro average of precision and 90% for F1. Thus, the outcome of the research suggests that it is crucial to analyse and verify the action verbs cited and used by academicians to write LOS and classify their questions based on blooms taxonomy in order to obtain a definite and more accurate classification.
Success Factors for Enterprise Systems in the Higher Education Sector: A Case...inventionjournals
Many large organisations have moved to Enterprise System solutions in recent years, including the higher education sector (HES). Whilst the benefits of Enterprise systems are well known, the sector has a social mission and characteristics that do not necessarily map to a commercially-focused corporate conceptualization, and assessing the suitability of any particular enterprise solution requires a qualified set of criteria to be applied. This paper looks at an “essential set” of critical success factors (CSFs) relevant to enterprise systems in the HES and applies them in a case study of a large Australian University. The CSFs found to be most relevant to successful ES deployment show differences from CSFs reported in other studies, mainly those in commercial sectors, suggesting a sector based approach be taken to evaluating ES success. We generalise our practical findings to theory, and propose further theory development and validation through confirmatory case studies and specific hypothesis testing.

Technology on the efficiency of Human Resource Management in the Cameroon mobile
Telecommunication Sector. It specifically seeks to investigate how the use of ICT affects
the following human resources management practices; Human resource planning,
training and development, selection and recruitment, human resource evaluation
and compensation. An exploratory research design was employed in the study. A
sample of 120 management, senior, junior and contract staffs of the 03 (three)
main mobile telephone operators responded to a structured questionnaire. The
data collected was coded and entered into SPSS version 17. Pearson correlation
coefficient was used to establish the relationship between the variables in the
study, regression analysis was used to establish the combined effect of study
variables on the dependent variable. The results show a significant positive
relationship between the use of ICT in selection and recruitment, training and
development, Human resource planning, evaluation and compensation and human
resource management efficiency. This highlights the use of ICT as an efficient tool
in Human resource management of enterprises. The use of ICT assures Human
resource management efficiency, we therefore suggest that regular Information
and Communication Technology training and development should be enhanced
so as to allow proper interactions between Human Resource Management and the
different departments which could lead to the organizational efficiency.
Keywords: ICT, HRM, HR functions, HRM efficiency, ANOVA test, Telecommunication sector
The digital transformation significantly changes
the traditional way of how organizations manage their
human resources. Besides the automation of HRM
processes, information technologies also have increasing
impact on the talent management process, such as
employee attraction, selection and hiring, workforce
planning, engagement and performance management,
training and development, health and safety, and retention
management, all prompting a focus on redesigning the
organization around teams, implementing analytics and
organizational network analysis and driving a global focus
on diversity, culture, learning, and careers. The aim of this
study is to get insights in the consequences of a digital
HRM solution for an organization and its business
performance. A structured questionnaire was used for the
study. Data was collected from 75 respondents. The
findings of the study conclude that on the 15 statements
which were identified the responses to majority of these
factors showed a significant difference.
CREATING AND SHARING KNOWLEDGE THROUGH A CORPORATE SOCIAL NETWORKING SITE: TH...Julio Figueroa
Paper published in PACIS2012
There have been various claims that enterprise social networking sites (ESN) might improve business effectiveness and performance. Nevertheless, many of the initiatives supported by ESNs have failed. This paper argues that divergent perceptions about ESNs across the different levels of the organization may explain failures in ESNs’ design and implementation. Using an extended version of the Technological Frames of Reference framework (Orlikowski & Gash, 1994), this paper reports on a study that analyzed employee’s perceptions about an ESN within a software engineering firm. It was found that significant divergent perceptions in the organization led to a social order that discouraged employees to create and share knowledge through the ESN. This paper highlights the importance of aligning top management perceptions about the ESN with its actual scope. It also highlights the relevance of aligning perceptions about the ESN across the different levels of the organization. This paper proposes extending the original Technological Frames of Reference framework in order to better understand people’s perceptions about technologies that support knowledge management systems. It also proposes an explanatory model for understanding how people’s perceptions about a corporate social networking site impact on its usage.
This paper had as approach a study about the use of IT resources in three different small, medium and large transport companies of the city of Pau dos Ferros - RN. The collected data allowed the knowledge of the main technological resources used in the internal structure of each company and their influence on the internal decision-making processes. When analyzing the resources used by the organizations, a certain similarity was identified in the types and a difference in the Information Systems used. The enterprises,named here as A, B and C, use thesoftwares SYSPDV, SoftCom and CissPoder, respectively. It was also identified that the small enterprise A does not use all the functionalities of the Information System employed, while the large enterprises B and C explore all the capacities of the IS in the company internal structure.

Global usage of automated system in all fields has remarkably increased in the past decades. To understand the extensive usage of the Information system, the study is undertaken where the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) is used to see the extent to which an Information System (IS) is able to make any HR routine activity in the institution to be automated; whereby, the information obtained is effective and reliable. The study undertook in this article focuses on the reliability test in order to test the reliability of the scale and also the correlation test in order to find the rate of correlation between the various components of the TAM model – Perceived Usefulness (PU), Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Attitude towards change (ATU) and Behavioral Intention towards use (BIU). The study indicated that the null hypothesis is accepted where there is significant positive change in the Perceived Ease of Use, Attitude of the User and the Behavioral intention of the user towards using the HRIS tool in any organization. This led to understanding from the study that there is a very high rate of effectiveness in the usage of HRIS tool in any institutions using, which is proved using the TAM model.

Microfinance and the Challenge of Financial Inclusion for Sme’s Development i...IOSRJBM
This paper examined microfinance and the challenge of financial inclusion for SMEs development in Nigeria. The study adopted two separate econometrics models for capturing and testing for significance in the stated objectives between 2005 and 2015. The first model determined whether financial inclusion improve the financial well-being of low-income savers in the study period. The second investigated the impact that micro finance has on the performance of small and medium scale enterprises. Each of the models was subjected to the Ordinary Least Square regression to determine the appropriateness of models estimated. Findings from the empirical results in model one (1) and two (2) indicated relationship between financial inclusion in Nigeria, microfinance, and small business enterprises over 10 years period of study. The study found out that there is a significant relationship between financial inclusion and financial well – being of the low income earners. Empirical finding that examines the relationship between microfinance and small business in Nigeria indicates that there is a negative significant relationship between loan to small enterprises and loan to rural areas in Nigeria in the period under study. The study suggests therefore that financial inclusion will have a positive significant impact on the development of small business if the plan to include everyone works in Nigeria.
Corporate Capital of Domestic and Foreign Firms in Africa – An Empirical ReviewIOSRJBM
The study evaluated the existence and nature of systematic competition for corporate capital between local and foreign firms operating in major African economies. The study is motivated by the debate that foreign firms have easier access to corporate capital than domestic firms, and that the problem in the global financial market might push foreign firms to rely more on domestic financial markets for funds. To achieve the goal of this study, both microeconomic and macroeconomic data were sourced from diverse sources – including the World Bank's Global Development Indicators' database and the individual annual financial reports of firms. The data generated a total of 351 firms based in 11 African countries over a period 2009 to 2014. The results show that the average ratio of total liabilities to total assets is slightly higher among the listed foreign firms (at 48.8 percent) than among the listed domestic firms (47.9 percent), although the differences does not appear significant at conventional levels (t-statistic = 0.601; prob.>t = 0.548). For the whole sample also, it is shown that foreign firms have higher long-term liabilities to total asset ratio than domestic firms, and that the difference is significant at 10 percent level. Whereas the average long-term debt ratio among foreign firms stands at 12.1 percent, for domestic firms, the level is 10.7 percent (t-statistic = 1.751; prob.>t = 0.080). In none of the four sub regions, though, does the difference in the long-term debts ratio significantly differ between domestic and foreign firms. Consistent with the statistical evidence, the descriptive results seem to suggest that the survey evidence reported by the World Bank that in Africa, foreign firms are more profitable, larger, more valued in terms of investments in fixed assets, and older than domestic firms is not true. However, as shown in this report, such differences, with the exception of asset tangibility and age, are not very significant at conventional levels. This suggests that the major source of competition for corporate finance in Africa may be on the extent of collateral value and the reputation that arises from firm age

The main objective of this study was to determine the relationship between foreign trade and financial performance of the listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The study focused on the 32 listed companies randomly drawn from the 74 listed manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The secondary data extracted from the financial statement of these companies were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistics. The result shows a significant positive relationship between the two variables. It was therefore recommended that the management and the board of directors of the listed manufacturing companies should intensify efforts on how the locally produced products will be able to penetrate into the foreign countries as it was discovered that majority of the goods produced by the manufacturing companies in Nigeria are consumed locally
The Government Policy on Foreign Direct Investment in Sri LankaIOSRJBM
management know-how, and access to export markets-that are desperately needed in developing countries. However foreign capital can play an important role in raising investment levels so as to accelerate economic growth in Sri Lanka as in the case of many other developing countries which are handicapped by inadequate domestic savings. The purpose of this study is to examine the Government Policy on Foreign Investment in Sri Lanka. FDI increased initially due to the favourable investment environment created by the 1977 reforms. During the 1983-89 period, the incentives for FDI were eroded by the setbacks in the foreign trade and payments liberalisation momentum and the macroeconomic disequilibrium. Even though FDI was felt down in year 2000, there were increasing trend in FDI up to year 2008 and FDI was diminished as a result of global financial crisis in year 2009. Basically due to the secure macroeconomic environment, Sri Lanka reached highest level of FDI in 2014. The prospect for a significant expansion of FDI inflows in to Sri Lanka, however, do not seems too bright. To attract further investment, it is paramount that Sri Lanka be able to provide policy stability.

This research is about the relationship between dividend policy and shareholder’s wealth from 37 mining companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2011 to 2013. Independent variable which is used in this research are dividend policy and profitability. Dividend policy is measured as dividend per share (DPS) and profitability is measured as Return On Equity (ROE). Dependent variable which is used in this research is shareholder’s wealth. Shareholders’ wealth is measured as Market Price Per Share (MPPS). Investment opportunity which is measured as fixed asset growth, is used as moderating variable which can strengthen the relationship between independent and dependent variable. The result of this research proves that dividend policy has significant influence to shareholder’s wealth, while investment opportunity, as a moderating variable, is proven to strengthen the relationship between dividend policy and shareholder’s wealth.
Understanding Attitudes towards Gasoline Import Demand in Viet NamIOSRJBM
Even with its vast reserves of oil and gas potential, the government has put this fuel resource the top of priority sectors for development, as it views as central to national economic growth as well as energy security, Viet Nam has remained a net importer of petroleum products over the past eight years. On another word, Gasoline importation has been a superior absorbability on the economy of Viet Nam, the determinants of the refined oil products imported activities analysis have been found no study yet. This paper aims to suggest the leading factors affecting import demand performances for petroleum products. The autoregressive distributed lag modelling framework (ARDL) have applied to this research; we estimated various short-run and long-run import demand models for Gasoline using time series study over the period 1995-2015. The results showed that the application of gas is stable prices in both the long and short term. Other principal operators of gas import probably are the real effective exchange rate, domestic petroleum production, and population growth. Moreover, a real economic activity found the most active and influential driver of gasoline demand accordance with the inelastic and elastic coefficients estimated in the short-run and long-run, respectively.

Impediments and Inducements to Youth Entrepreneurship Development in Sylhet R...IOSRJBM
The purpose of this paper is to explore and identify the key impediments and constraints that obstruct young people from starting and running a new venture and at the same time, inducements and stimuli that trigger youths to entrepreneurial activities. Data were collected from 80 young entrepreneurs of Sylhet, Bangladesh through a questionnaire gleaned from the literature review following a convenience and purposive sampling technique. Findings revealed, insufficient personal savings, high interest rate, and negative attitude of financial institutions to young entrepreneurs due to high default rate are the major impediments to obtaining start-up fund, being their own boss and earning more money are the prime inducements to engage in business. Parents and teachers influenced most to start business while financial risk reported as the most critical demotivator. Managing fund and fierce competition are main problems in running the business successfully. Lack of vocational education and training and inappropriate and inadequate curriculum and study programs are the key educational constraints, unsupportive tax regulations, complex business registration procedure are the leading administrative and regulatory barriers, dearth of information on available business support services and lack of training and business counseling are the major impediments of business support services. The implications of the study bear far-reaching ramifications to the concerned stakeholders for facilitating and encouraging youth entrepreneurship development by addressing the start-up constraints and problems
An Overview of Export Performance of Agricultural Products in IndiaIOSRJBM
Exports are the basis of the overall growth performance of any country. By increasing the rate of exports, any developing country can pave a way for the development by earning international liquidity thereby; sort out the problem of reserves to start up of any project to come out the circle of poverty. So, it becomes a paramount importance for the country like India to start export promotion measures to boost up the pace of its exports and India has already taken many steps to increase the level of its exports. It is concluded from the results of the study that Cotton raw including waste, iron ore, plastic and linoleum and transport equipment has been observed as the products in which exports have been increased at the maximum rate, whereas exports of Tea, Iron and steel, Mica and Leather and Manufacturing have been identified as the area in which satisfied results have not been achieved. So, it is suggested by the results of study that government should promote exports of different sectors by providing different incentives to different sectors to avail the opportunity and fill up the gaps as well. Indian agricultural export has undergone significant changes during recent times. In this context, the present study has analysed the trend in exports of agricultural commodities from India, the changes in the comparative advantage, the Indian agricultural export scenario has witnessed during the past decade and the prospects for further boosting the agricultural export. The study has also analysed the comparative advantage of India’s exports, through revealed comparative advantage (RCA). The RCA was improving in case of cotton, maize, and certain fruits and vegetables over time, but declining in case of some spices, rice and wheat. In case of plantation based spices and other commodities, India is gradually losing its comparative edge, mainly to Asian countries. The study has so identified yield improvement through growth in total factor productivity (TFP) as a potential factor that would result in generation of exportable surpluses and boosting India’s export
Job Satisfaction and Faculty Turnover Intentions: A Case of Pakistani Univers...IOSRJBM
Retaining faculty members has been a problem in many universities for decades. When competent teachers quit, they depart with critical knowledge and experience that are essential for maintaininga competitive advantage. The aim of this study was to measure the impact of four facets of job satisfaction on turnover intentions of faculty members of different universities of Rawalpindi/Islamabad. A 16-item, selfadministered questionnaire was used to gather data on independent and dependent variables. In questionnaire, researchers used 5 point Likert scale for variables to measure respondent’s possible responses. 110 questionnaires were completed and returned back. Pearson Correlation and Multiple Regression tests were used to test the hypothesis. The results showed that the three facets of job satisfaction i.e. remuneration, supervisory support and work life policies have significant and negative relationship with turnover intentions while recognition has insignificant relationship with turnover intentions and this relationship did not support the researchers’ prediction. Results have been discussed andrecommendations have been made for universities’ administrations.
Health System in India: Opportunities and Challenges for EnhancementsIOSRJBM
One of the basic vitalities of good living is quick access to essential services like health care. But many times it could mean a condition of life and death for an individual who is unable to get the access to these services. Thus an important part of social sector development is incomplete without adequate health care facilities. The quality of human health is the foundation upon which the realization of life goals and objectives of a persona, the community or nation as whole depends. It is both an end and means of development strategy. The relationship between health and development is mutually reinforcing- while health contributes to economic development, economic development, in turn, tends to improve the health status of the population in a country. India as a nation has been growing economically at a rapid pace particularly after the advent of New Economic Policy of 1991. However, this rapid economic development has not been accompanied by social development particularly health sector development. Health sector has been accorded very low priority in terms of allocation of resources. Public expenditure on health is less than 1 per cent of GDP in India. This research paper focuses on the current status of the Indian healthcare industry, the challenges faced plus the comparison of few selected Indian states based on health indicators. Furthermore comparison of India with some developed and developing countries is also employed in order get the clear picture of the health sector. In order to boost the development line, some opportunities in the health care industry are also discussed and necessary policy implications. Regarding in this connection India lags behind in regard of health improvement as compared to U.S.A, Canada, China, and Brazil, but contrary to other developing countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh the scenario is better with life expectancy, Mortality ratios, health care spending speak volumes about the healthcare status. When analyzed through the prism eye, within India there are large disparities amongst states in achieving health outcomes as well. Before liberalization the improvement was at a snail’s pace, but after liberalization the whole picture changed because the key initiatives to improve the current healthcare standard a two prong strategy focusing on the infrastructure needs and the technology solution were implemented, which resulted in the healthy scenario of the healthcare industry. Healthcare sector, a leading weapon as the contributor to GDP (approx.8%) is thus the matter to be deeply looked into, so that golden harvest is reaped.

This research was carried out starting from the phenomenon of the performance which was not maximized by the employees of State Treasury Service Office in Jakarta. Based on the literature there was a suspicion that the performance which was not maximized due to a weak work culture, work stress and the decreasing of job satisfaction. The purpose of this research was to quantify and explain the relationship between variables of work culture, work stress, job satisfaction and employees performance in the State Treasury Service Office Jakarta. The research method was using quantitative methods. Research locations were located in six State Treasury Service Offices in Jakarta with samples of 152 employees. Data analysis technique was using Partial Least Square (PLS) with the help of Smart program. The results showed that the work culture has no effect on job satisfaction. Work stress has no effect on job satisfaction. Work culture affected to the employee performance. Work stress had no effect on employee performance. Job satisfaction had no effect on performance. The implication of this research was to establish a strong working culture to decrease work stress and increase job satisfaction which ultimately improved employee performance.
Work-Life of Indian Railway's Drivers (Loco-Pilots)IOSRJBM
Railways’ Drivers / Loco-Pilots are the most important person in executing the huge task of transporting nearly 25 Million passengers and more than 2.8 Million Tons of freight daily with the help of 2,29,381 wagons, 59,713 coaches and more than 9,213 locomotive engines of various kinds(www.Indian railways, Wikipedia).To transport 25 million passengers and millions of tons of freight and that too with taking care of both the traveler’s convenience and safety is not a mean task, the driver on whose sincerity the journey of a train depends. If he is not capable of carrying his responsibilities then the efforts of the other employees go waste, in this sense we can say that he is the most important person of the railways. The job of a Railway Driver demands hard work and great presence of mind along with courage to handle diverse conditions. For this one should have discipline, patience, responsibility, punctuality, commitment, courage and above all self-confidence. The job requires lots of hard work, stamina, alertness of mind, adaptability to follow difficult time schedules too. But the main and remarkable, highly appreciable role of Railway drivers is the only who works with full honesty, in day & night, in heavy cold, hot & Rainy weather. For Railways’ drivers operating on long distance routes, overnight stays in various locations will be necessary. Furthermore, it can be stressful, as delays and hazards on the track are not uncommon. His cab of the train should be relatively comfortable but it may be quite cold, hot and noisy.

Every time when lecturers/professors need to conduct examinations they have to sit down think about the questions and then create a whole new set of questions for each and every exam. In some cases the professor may want to give an open book online exam that is the student can take the exam any time anywhere, but the student might have to answer the questions in a limited time period. The professor may want to change the sequence of questions for every student. The problem that a student has is whenever a date for the exam is declared the student has to take it and there is no way he can take it at some other time. This project will create an interface for the examiner to create and store questions in a repository. It will also create an interface for the student to take examinations at his convenience and the questions and/or exams may be timed. Thereby creating an application which can be used by examiners and examinee’s simultaneously.
Examination System is very useful for Teachers/Professors. As in the teaching profession, you are responsible for writing question papers. In the conventional method, you write the question paper on paper, keep question papers separate from answers and all this information you have to keep in a locker to avoid unauthorized access. Using the Examination System you can create a question paper and everything will be written to a single exam file in encrypted format. You can set the General and Administrator password to avoid unauthorized access to your question paper. Every time you start the examination, the program shuffles all the questions and selects them randomly from the database, which reduces the chances of memorizing the questions.
Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) for pavements is crucial to achieving sustainability. Implementing RCA for new pavement can minimize carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, reduce harmful emissions, and lower life cycle costs. Compared to natural aggregate (NA), RCA pavement has fewer comprehensive studies and sustainability assessments.

Abstract: This study carries out a critical review of literature on human resource management information
system, government policy and organization performance. The motivation for carrying out this literature review
is presented and the point of contention is the application of human resource management information system,
government policy and organizational performance. The objectives of carrying out this literature review
include; to conceptualize the adoption of human resource management Information systems (HRMIS) and
organization performance, to analyze the evolution of human resource information system (HRMIS) concept, to
identify the theories upon which human resource information system (HRMIS) and organization performance
are anchored upon, to critically review the empirical studies and identify the inherent gaps and to identify the
factors that influences the adoption of HRMIS .The study reviews the origin of adoption of human resource
management Information systems from both academic and management perspective. Factors influencing the
adoption of human resource management systems, theoretical framework of human resource management
systems whereby four theories namely diffusion theory, social capital theory, behavioral theory and resource
based view theory have been discussed. An empirical review was done on thematic issues, methodology, data
collection and data analysis. Various studies have been reviewed and analyzed to identify knowledge gaps.
Conclusions were drawn and recommendations made based on the literature reviewed. A conceptual frame
work alongside measures is proposed for studying human resource management information system,
government policy and organizational performance and methodology for the study is also proposed.

I. Introduction
In the recent past many organizations including private companies, universities, Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs), and government departments have utilized the Internet and the World Wide Web (WWW),
as the mainstream tool for communication (Muathe 2010). Firms are now investing heavily in the use of e-
business Information and Communication Technology (lCT) systems together with internal and external
communications in the organization in order enhance their efficiency and effectiveness in terms of service
delivery (Maguire and Koh,2004; Muathe, 2010). This has contributed largely on human resource management
leading to the adoption of IT related systems in the work place.
According to Shani and Tosani (2010) there is a lot evidence in regard to the transformation of HR
functions to most current formats, and this is evident in the popularity of human resource management
information systems (HRMIS) within organizations. HRMIS has a key influence on role of the HR function and
the workplace. In order for HRM cope up with the market competition, they have to embrace the new
technology for them to remain viable. This entails competitiveness which comes about as a result of pressure
from competitors due to the adoption advanced systems of operation (Tung and Rieck, 2005; Muathe 2010).
The competiveness is the source of organization’s power. The break through and innovations have led
to the use of IT systems in the work place. The new inventions pose a challenge to the old-fashioned ways
offering HRM support across all sectors for over 10 years (Bondarouk & Ruel 2009; Chakraborty & Mansor
2013). Further, more the performance of human resource relies on the use of new technologies .HRM
organizations in the recent past strongly rely on the use of HRMIS (Lippert & Michael Swiercz, 2005; Troshani,
Jerram, & Hill, 2011; Chakraborty & Mansor 2013).
People and information are key aspects in the work place and greatly have effect on performance of
businesses and therefore in order to succeed thus there is need for good management of both in order to attain
success (Martinsons, 1994; Teo, Lim, & Fedric, 2007). This therefore calls for the use of the best ways possible
in order to maximize their proficiency. According to Teo et al. (2007) HRMIS can be used to put together these
two resources through system use which is likely propel the businesses to achievement of their goals. Thus there
is need for the adoption of proper HRMIS systems for organizations to achieve success. The application of

systems in the work place is a new phenomenon in current times and this is what has sparked my desire to
undertake this study.
According to Maguire and Redman (2006) the development of information systems (IS) is perceived to
be the domain of the technical expert. This is evident particularly when an organization has the wrong systems
in place and if not well managed and this effects the organization negatively. Since technology is not static more
problems are likely to be experienced since complexity increases with time and it can get to a point where it
can become in tolerable thus impacting on the organization heavily.
According to Bhyuiyan (2014), with the new innovations in the recent past, it is important to embress a
real-time information-based, self-service, and interactive work environment. This is to ensure efficiency and
effectiveness in performance of work. Innovation is not only associated with corporate success but is also
perceived to be extremely important for business survival in the ever changing environment (Goyal & Pitt,
2007). Employees are required to have various of technical and interpersonal skills and workplace expertise that
enables them get used to new technological advancements and to increase performance in organizations
(Fernandez, 2001; Combs et al., 2006). Firms are now purchasing and installing sophisticated e-business
Information and Communication Technology (lCT) systems in the work place to enhance efficiency and
effectiveness in service provision (Maguire & Koh,2004). This therefore creates a challenge for each and every
organization to adopt and embrace the new changes in the environment.
Despite being overtaken by industrial innovation theory in the twentieth century, Miles (2000) noted
that “new technology has evolved from a neglected and marginal status to achieving an overwhelming
recognition in terms of further studies due the growing perception of services”. This is as a result of “non-
innovative activities that are superseded by the view that the new changes can play a major role, resulting in
greater desire in service innovations” (Barras, 1986; Sundbo, 1997; Evangelista, 2000; Miles, 2000; Djellal &
Gallouj, 2001; Tether, 2002; Drejer, 2004). This new paradigm has acknowledged the service sector
contribution especially new processes that complements new technology in business sector specifically from a
customer rather than being the driver or innovation agenda (Hertog, 2000).
Rothwell (1992) analyzed historical developments on the evolution of the innovation process models
and further notes that new models have developed in five generations, ranging from a simple linear model to a
more complicated models. “Technology push and market pull”models are the first and second generation
models with simple linear sequential processes. The third generation simultaneous coupling model recognizes
interactions and feedback loops between different elements, while the fourth generation interactive model
combines the technology push and market pull models and emphasizes the external linkages”. “The fifth
generation network model perceives the innovation process as a multi factor process, which requires a lot of
interaction, networking and knowledge”. Despite the fact that the fifth generation models are more complex,
they borrow a leaf from the same basic processes like the past models (Rothwell, 1992; Trott, 2005).
According to Muathe (2010) traditionally, it is alleged that information have been created utilizing the
systems development life cycle (SDLC which is a common procedure for middle-scale and big-scale software
projects, though the utilization of conventional techniques for IS design have not given us a complete assurance
in terms of information systems implementation success (Laudon & Laudon, 2005). It’s believed that IS
development is being carried out by groups who are inexperienced in the relevant fields of trade and
organizational enhancements and this is important for realization of full benefits (Brooke & Maguire, 1998). IS
development is driven by technical objectives of individuals who are technologically savvy but the interests of
the organizations are not put at heart and this is where the problems start from for organization. In this case, the
systems produced are not customized and so once adopted, they need to adjusted or enhanced to suit the needs
of the end user.
HRMS history can be traced from payroll systems in the late 1950s and continued into the 1960s a time
when the first computerized worker data was used (Bhyuiyan, 2014). The researcher noted that between (1960-
1980) which is termed as the legislative era, there was processing employee information to enhance efficiently.
Further he asserts that by 1980’, HRMS systems entailed a number of feature sets and functional capabilities
whose key function was to attract, retain and ensure proper employee compensation. HR departments were
under pressure to apply new technology that was more affordable and effective in terms of costs during low cost
era (1980-1990). This was the key driver that led to the increase in use of systems in the work place.
Both infrastructure and human resources enhance technological capacity of an organization to put in
place HRMIS (Oliveira & Martins, 2010). Organizations with new information system technology are well
positioned to adopt HRMIS than those that have no strong technology infrastructure and IT professionals’
expertise which may fear adopting of HRMIS. Various authors have perceived technological availability as a
huge component that impact IT reception (Kwon and Zmud, 1987; Oliveira and Martins, 2010). Carter and
Belanger (2004) noted that three key aspects for e-Government adoption include; relative advantage, image and
compatibility”. These factors influence the decision of whether to adopt the latest innovation in any given
organization or not to.

DOI: 10.9790/487X-1901034353 www.iosrjournals.org 45 | Page
Similarly, Teo, (2007) conducted a research in Singapore and discovered that only perceived benefits
and compatibility are key determinants of HRMIS acceptance. He further asserts that Relative advantage is
correlated to profits, reserves and power, expenditure cut downs and so on. Perceived benefit can is referred as
expected paybacks (Troshani, Jerram & Hill 2011). Alongside the two determinants, organization fit,
implementation cost, intricacy or ease of use, efficiency were established as important constructs that affect
government institutions (Troshani et al., 2011).
According to Bhyuiyan (2014), there was an increase in demand for HR departments to adopt computer
technology to process employee information more effectively and efficiently. This trend resulted in an
emergence and increase in the number of vendors who could assist HR departments in automating their
programs in terms of both hardware and software. According to Bhyuiyan (2014), companies in the 21st
century
are under pressure to reduce the cost of the production and to be more responsive to the customers. The only key
component towards cost reduction is the use of IT-enabled HRM. This enhances the adoption of HRMIS in the
work place.
Changes in the business environment force companies to reorganize themselves and ensure that they
engage in activities that enhance their competitiveness in the market place (Franks, 2000; Goyal, 2007).
Yang et al. (2007) expressed that implementation to be effected in businesses top administration can
decide despite rejection by junior administrators and staff. Business size, working environment and a talented
workforce are vital determinants of effective advancement technology acceptance (Troshani et al., 2011).
Top management support is important since it has an impact on influencing adoption of HRIS.
According to Teo et al. (2007) strategic managers or directors support towards technology adoption in a
business and workers commitment are key requirements which are affected by the management commitment.
Many researches show that management commitment is of key importance on HRMIS implementation (Teo et
al., 2007; Yang et al., 2007; Troshani et al., 2011). Adoption of IT to HR departments is slow and this has led to
deficiency of HRMIS awareness and expertise lead to low rate of HRIS implementation (Teo et al, 2007).
Successful implementation of HRIS demands accessibility to trained workforce in the firm who can enhance its
growth and adoption in the organization. The professionals have a good understanding of the features of HRIS.
According to Ferguson and Reio (2009), CEOs and business managers need to evaluate their human
resource strategies and practices for them to create and retain a viable workforce that; one that will increase the
likelihood of business success. “Similarly, in a meta-analysis examining 92 studies that included 19,319
organizations, Combs, Liu, Hall and Ketchen (2006) found a positive correlation between HPWP ( High
Performance Work Practices) and both operational (e.g. retention and productivity) and financial (e.g.
accounting or marketing returns) performance”. Many research that link organizations’ human resource
management practices and economic viability in for-profit settings, not much has been done to examine the link
between human resource management practices and performance across firms (Fulmer, Gerhart & Scott 2003).
Ferguson and Reio (2009) tried to address this gap in the literature, and focuses on systems approach to
examine how job performance and firm performance are influenced by human resource inputs (e.g. employee
skills, motivation) and processes (e.g. reward processes, performance management) in a broad range of
organizational types (e.g. manufacturing, governmental). This study will further focus on technology as a
moderating variable.
The evolution of adoption human resource management systems concept can be analyzed from two
perspectives namely academic perspective and management perspectives. In recent years some scholars have
suggested the need for a paradigm shift in the manner in which organizations carry out their activities. (Karakas,
2010; Pirson & Turnbull, 2011; Rynes et al., 2012). This therefore means we need to have proper systems in
place to enhance performance. “Numerous models of innovation have attempted to define and understand
innovation as a process and the possible ways in which it can be managed” (Tidd et al., 2005).
Trott (2005), claims that “there are two schools of thought that divide innovation drives and further
notes the market view where market conditions provide environment that enhances or curtails the innovation
potential of a firm, where issue of importance being a firm’s ability to scan their environment and check for
opportunities in the market place”. Trott (2005) also noted that the resource view is where by an organization
own resources are a determinant for their capacity to innovate and shape the markets.
Current studies have researched HRIS reception determinants in Singapore and Australia (Teo et al.,
2007; Troshani et al., 2011). The above researchers concurred on existence of a deficit of studies on adoption
and suggested the call to further find out the depth influence of the factors affecting adoption of the system. This
therefore creates the need for research on adoption in other countries in relation to performance. According to
Troshani et al. (2011) more research required to assess HRIS adoption in private enterprises since there is no as
research those areas. Thus, the researcher aims to do a literature review on the adoption of HRMIS and its
influence on performance.

HR specialists are interested with managing the various disciplines in the work place and to adequately
utilize their importance on employees and customers’ satisfaction (Goyal, 2007).Organizational effectiveness in
terms of its operations is very essential. Decisions made regarding facilities are key to business decisions. The
business initiative on developing facilities management relies entirely on an understanding of the key potential
of facilities have on creating quality work conditions that enhance key activities (Goyal, 2007).
According to Wahab (2011) some of the benefits of HRMIS are as follows; the establishment of social
network among people; enterprises must optimize computer networks to increase development of human
resource management application system, constantly enhancing its application level and accessibility. ;
enterprises should establish good corporate culture and trust mechanism to enhance employees' participation and
initiative to get involved in enterprise social network and High quality employees often target a certain limited
group of people for frequent contact and communication in enterprise social network.
Hendrickson (2003) notes that HRMIS aids firms in their HR practices by improving competence and
success as well as providing self-service HR. “HRIS provides information as a consequence of data processing
and has user interface applications that can be used to disseminate HR information to employees and functional
units managers (Ruel, Magalhaels & Chiemeke, 2011). Zhang and Wang, (2006) noted that the best way to
operate a business in the current times is through the use of relevant Information Technology (IT) in HRM.
Innovation theory has various definitions which differ adversely .Some of the definitions lay emphasis
on technology and others on services making it hard to differentiate what it really is. (Goyal, 2007a). The study
seeks to achieve the following objectives: To conceptualize the adoption of HRMIS and organization
performance, to analyze the evolution of HRMIS concept, to identify the theories upon which HRMIS and
organization performance are anchored upon, to critically review the empirical studies and identify the inherent
gaps. And to identify the factors that influences the adoption of HRIS
II. Literature Review
2.1 Theoretical Review
According to Muathe (2010), the model of diffusion of innovations is typically employed in the
diffusion of technological inventions over a timeframe by individuals from a social framework. Karshenas and
Stoneman (1995) noticed that the three fundamental elements of the theory entail phases of diffusion, innovation
features that have an influence on the rate of dispersion. Muathe (2010) asserts that there are five stages through
which innovation is seen to progress through and this entails understanding of the innovation, influence by key
individuals, dedication to adopt, adoption, and affirmation of the choice.
The five features of innovation attempt to establish the degree to which performance of the
development and their key significance to the clients are expected benefits, operational coherence with
organizational values, system simplicity, system trial, and the ability to monitor (Karshenas and Stoneman,
1995. To be specific, Powell' (1995) and Tung and Rieck (2005) noted the key relevant factors that need to be
facilitated , which depict resource availability which are required for a successful adoption process to take place.
He further notes the user groups comprise of trendsetters, initial users, late users, and slackers with the total
users at any given time period making an S-shaped implementation arch (Karshenas & Stoneman, 1995).
Trendsetters, and initial users are the categories with high likely hood to adopt and apply new technology.
Attewell (1992) criticized the connection between diffusion model to innovations and he noted that
organizational knowledge acquisition and awareness are of key importance in the role they play. Newell (1998)
noted that introduction of complicated IT systems presents a knowledge integration issue especially in terms of
awareness. This creates a need for the attainment of key information application of new technology (Davis,
1989; Attewell, 1992). The likely users are expected to lay a lot of emphasis on the compatibility of new
information, which calls for greater need understanding in terms of both the design aspects and the prevailing
norms of the society, previous know-how as well as the prerequisites of likely implementers.
Rip (1995) asserts that trial ability of new technologies influences its acceptance and operation since
the actual performance is usually more significant than debates in relation to benefits and operational
capabilities. Compatibility is key in the case of HRMIS since its adoption is affected by the existence of network
aspects (Church & Gandal, 2004). Trial ability gives an opportunity trying out a new technology before putting
it into its actual use. This is relevant to the early adopters since they rely on available information in comparison
to laggards who learn later when technology has already taken roots. However, as Rogers (1995) and Tidd et al.,
(1997) noted that much of the conventional diffusion of new technologies model is founded on studies of how
person’s make decisions on acceptance of new technology and this limits use of the model on the study of
HRMIS implementation in business context.
However, the diffusion of innovation model is in line with the Marcus' theory (1986), in which he
noted that prospective users of inventions asses the conceivable worth that the technological innovation offers to
them (Ankem, 2004). Value here is attributed based on benefits and cost incurred to acquire the new technology.

The introduction of a HRMIS software in an institution be regarded as a new practice since it enhances
effectiveness in operational performance.
Barney’s (1991) RBV theory of the firm asserts that “the firm’s structure; human capital that is the
skills, judgment, and level intelligence of the employees; and human resource management systems are key
sources of competitive advantage to an organization”. RBV theory is of the view that HRMS can enhance
competitive advantage through competencies of development and motivation of employees, produce unique
social relationships, are deeply rooted in a firm’s way of doing things, and contribute to organizational
knowledge (Barney, 1991).
Eniola and Entebang (2015) in their study on government policy and performance of small and medium
business management noted that resource- based view theory of the firm is of the view that competitive
advantage emanates from the wealth assets owned by an organization that are of key value in comparison to
those of its competitors. Further research has made significant contribution to its development (Barney, 1996,
Grant 2002).
The theory suggests that sustainable exceptional efficiency and competitive advantage of any
organization is due accumulation and utilization of resources, managerial choices, factor market imperfections
and strategic industry factors (Dharanaj and Beamish, 2003). Company heterogeneity despite the external
ecological dynamics are reflected relatively as more significant factors of performance and competitive
positioning of a business enterprise both in the indigenous and global market place (Barney, 2001, Tseng et al,
2007; Lu et al., 2010; Bartai 2014).
According to Muathe (2010) the behavioral adoption theories are composed of the Theory of Reasoned
Action (TRA), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). Muathe
notes that the models are mostly used models in explaining the IT adoption. TRA was originally proposed by
Fishbein and Ajzen (1975) in based on the assumption that individuals output in regard to a particular behavior
is caused by intentional behavioral intent, which in return determined by attitude and the common norms.
Therefore it’s logical to make assumptions that TRA is related to voluntary behavior (Muathe 2010).
TAM was originally proposed by Davis in 1989 and initially the theory was used to predict user
acceptance of computers but has been adversely used in fields of ICT. The author further notes that TAM relates
more to technology in contrast to TRA which is more general. Variable of employee commitment and
management commitment can be derived from the TAM model, to determine attitude towards technology.
These variables are the perceived usefulness of the technology and the inability to actually use the technology
(Davis, 1989).
According to Pedersen and Nysveen (2003), Anckar et al. (2003), and Venkatesh, Moris and Davis,
(2003) criticized the model by observing that dividing user believes in regard to technology adoption into two
classes tends to overlook other factors like age, sex, experience, and voluntariness that are which are of key
importance in ICT adoption. In addition, Muathe further notes that Manueli, Latu and Koh, (2007) criticizes
TAM is perceived to be less comprehensive in comparison to the diffusion approach which looks at isuues like
time as a key factor of the theory. TAM was also criticized for not considering the effects of personal control
factors on behavior, external factors from the environmental like suppliers, customers and competitors (Manueli
et al., 2007)
The TPB model came into place to support TRA where to cater for instances where individuals control
their behaviour (Ajzen, 1991; Muathe 2010). The model ties to look at factors "behavioural control" to establish
possible behavior where individuals are controlled. Successful performance of behaviour does not rely solely
on favorable intention but on proper level of behavioral control (Muathe 2010). According to Muathe (2010)
TRB and TPB models have not been fully accepted for failing to suggest behavioural attitude and subjective
norms and to some extent behavioural control. Battacherjee (2000) asserts that the TAM model can be
integrated into TPB with perceived usefulness and user friendliness as key causes of behavioural attitude
towards IT adoption. Subjective norms can be assessed by external and interpersonal influence and that the two
constitute components of behavior.
To counter the argument, Vankatesh, Moris and Davis, (2003) tried to put together the various models
of IT acceptance by merging elements of the following eight prominent models: TRA; TAM; motivational
model; TPB; combined TAM-TPB; Model of PC utilization; innovation diffusion theory and social cognitive
theory to form Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). According to Muathe (2010)
the model was validated and it was found out to be reliable especially when used to assess user acceptance in
studies involving business organizations and corporations.
Social systems theory was developed by Ludwig (1956) in order to support the theoretical foundation
of Human Resource Management (HRM). Social capital theory explores its impact of HRMIS on enterprise
social capital, thus impelling academic and partition world to pay close attention to HRMIS function of
developing enterprise social capital. It tries to look at the Effect the knowledge creation, technology innovation
and operation performance of enterprises.

According to Midiwo (2015) the social systems model can sensibly be viewed as a specialization of
systems thinking; on the other hand as an objective yield of systems science and systems software development,
with an accentuation on generalization that it is valuable over a wide scope of systems. Midiwo noted that the
SERVQUAL model measures seven service quality dimensions, that is, service quality, system quality,
information quality, user involvement, usefulness, user self-sufficiency, user satisfaction to be more ideal in
assessing the influence of HRIS on performance. Midiwo noted that this can also be assessed by its indicators,
which takes the performance methodology with the first five elements being service provider performance.
Midiwo used the constructs of serviperf like service quality, information quality to measure and draw
conclusions on the performance of employees in public universities in Kenya.
, singular effect and hierarchical effect
Information Systems Success Model was developed by De Lone and McLean (1992) though they did
not empirically test it. The model looked at six viewpoints: system quality, data quality, use behavior, client
satisfaction Use; Individual effect and business effect. According to Midiwo (2015) system quality refers to “the
features of the technological tool in addition to the processing power of the tool, the dynamism provided by the
system, and the quantity of data or resources it can gather.
De Lone and McLean (2003) suggest in their model that “an IS was first developed, bearing containing
many characteristics, which are viewed to show high level of performance. The author further noted “the users
and managers experience these features by using the system and are either satisfied or dissatisfied with the
system or its information products for instance products of HRIS‘e-staffing, e-training, e-payroll and e-
performance management on the expected performance”. The use of the system and its components is important
HRMIS has collective impact result on the organizational performance (Midiwo, 2015). De Lone and McLean
re-established their model by putting together all key aspects i.e. organizational and individual as one
generalized aspect which is advantageous to the organization.
2.2 Empirical Review
According to Soriano, (2010) and Eniola and Entebang, (2015) firm performance can be viewed as the
ability of a firm to generate change in management and this is through obtaining market opportunities, proper
alignment to the surroundings, and bearing key managerial features, new product developments, outstanding
qualities, change in the technology applied, are all key factors that can enhance firm performance. Kavanagh et
al. (2012) noted that even though HRMIS comprises hardware and software, it also consists of people,
procedures and information. Currently it has been noted that HRMIS has laid more focus on key aspects like
staffing, performance and reward administration, automation (Lengnick-Hall & Moritz, 2003; Bell, Lee, &
Yeung, 2006; Panayotopoulou, Vakola, & Galanaki, 2007). When the above are correctly implemented this
enhance overall HR service levels and reduce costs propelling an organization on an upward curve.
The key functional components of HRIS are input, data maintenance and output. Data entry was the
key method of data input but in the recent past modern technologies like scanning have taken the centre stage
and enhanced the storage of original documents (Kovach, Hughes, Fagan, and Maggitti, 2002). Once data entry
is done there is need for data maintenance and update is important for future reference. The most visible
function of HRMIS is output. Production of meaningful performance entails HRMIS to execute and e put in
place key measures that will enhance performance by having systems that can easily be comprehended by end
users (Kovach & Cathcart, 1999). HRMIS is comprised of management and ICT. Managing involves personnel,
procedures that are intended to operate a business entity successfully while ICT encompasses computer
hardware and software (Hendrickson, 2004).
Dileep (2010) indicates that “HRMIS is a combination of HRM and information systems, as HRMIS
assists HR managers in performing HR functions more effectively and systematically through the use of
technology”. Ball,2001;Awazu and Desouza,2003 note that “use of a HRMIS would decrease HR costs by
automating information and decreasing the number of HR employees, by helping employees to control their
own personal information, and by allowing managers to access relevant information and data, conducts
analyses, make decisions, and communicate with others without the help of an HR professional” .
The correct application of HRMIS, is through automation and devolvement of repetitive HR tasks to
line management, HR professionals would be able to focus on more business critical and strategic level tasks,
such as leadership development and talent management (Lawleretal, 2003). HRMIS also aides HR professionals
to be more reliant in the manner in which form their duties like keeping clear records capacity to produce
instantaneous information on HR concerns, including labor force training and development that can be used to
provide strategic decision making (Hendrickson,2003;Lengnick-Halletal.,2003;Lawleretal.,2004;.Bourini(2011)
pressurized the application HRMIS can lead to HR professionals which will be of benefit to organizations.
Good application of HRMIS will lead to having good expertise in the organizations.
According to Shani and Tosani (2010) currently, HRMIS have also begun to integrate into the work
place manager self-service (MSS), which according to him was defined by Roberts (2004, p. 157) as the use of
7. Towards a Theoretical Model for Human Resource Management Information Systems, Government ..
DOI: 10.9790/487X-1901034353 www.iosrjournals.org 49 | Page
software and the corporate network to automate paper-based personnel-related processes that require a
manager’s approval, record-keeping or input, and processes that support the manager’s job. Shani and Tosani
(2010) outline examples of routine transactions that can be done through the MSS as authorizing pay increases,
managing work schedules, approving vacation time, and travel expenses, as well as enabling employee access to
information. “MSS and ESS create a trend of delegation of responsibilities and activities that were once
considered to be the domain of HR professionals and administrative, directly to employees and managers
(Lengnick-Hall and Moritz, 2003 Shani & Tosani 2010).
Currently HR professionals’ can use can apply HRIS benefits to enterprises though computing training
investment returns, gross revenue, and human-value added (Targowski & Deshpande, 2001; Sani & Trosani
(2010). When the calculations are done and they show a positive HR’s contribution this can be viewed as an
indicator of executive management and this is relevant for achievement of organizational goals (Sani & Trosani
(2010). Empirical studies on human resource information systems have used both qualitative and quantitative
methods though others use both. The approach chosen determines the philosophical foundation system on
relevant to a particular study. Most of the studies on human resource information system reviewed have not
indicated the philosophical foundation upon which the research was based.
Dobson (2002), notes that methodologies that have been adopted are those dominated by the kind of
social theorists. He further suggests that IS studies need to focus on philosophical approaches to epistemology
and ontology and he notes that further Bhaskar’s critical realism is a key approach since it views philosophy as
operating at the same level as methodological issues. He further states that assessment of information systems is
partially determined by political biases and values concerning organization hierarchies, workers’ rights and so
forth (Dobson, 2002).
According to Reio and Furguson (2009) in their research regarding the relationship between human
resource practices and firm performance has been enhanced, there is an increased use of HR systems that lead to
attainment of organizations objectives. The study by Charkraborty and Mansor (2013) utilized secondary source
of data on the determinants of HRIS implementation which have been categorized into three groups which are
business factors, technology context aspects and environmental aspects.
According to Kiarie et al., (2006) and Muathe (2010) they noted that “factors such as the duration of
computer experience and top management participation, enjoyment, and voluntariness had significant influence
on computer use”. According to Ochara, et al., (2008) noted that lT infrastructure and Government had role to
play in influencing lT adoption despite this study ignored other determinants influencing lT adoption like
individual factors, and organization factors. This study plans to research further on these factors.
Lawson and Hepp (2001) carried out a “time-series quasi-experimental study to measure the effect of
human resource practices in relationship to competitive advantage in the banking industry and studied variables
such as employee satisfaction, customer results, and business performance”. Lawson and Hepp came to a
conclusion that human resource practices have a positive and key role on employee commitment, return on
expenses (ROE), return on assets (ROA), and on the bank’s efficiency ratio (ER).
According to Chakraborty and Mansor (2013) noted that qualitative and quantitate types of research
can be employed in innovation studies, though qualitative methods were extensively evident; see for example,
(Carter & Belanger, 2004; Florkowski & Olivas- arry & Olivas- et al., 2004; Teo et al., 2007; Troshani et al.,
2011; Yang, Lee, & Lee, 2007) and these investigations were carried out mostly in Western countries and Asian
Countries apart from those two of Teo et al. (2007) and Yang et al. (2007). Many studies have been done on the
advent of new technology and most have embraced diffusion of innovation theory that was developed by Rogers
in 1995 (Carter & Belanger, 2004; Florkowski & Olivas- arry & Olivas- et al., 2004; Teo et al., 2007).
There was deficiency of an adequate sampling frame therefore respondents were sampled using
multiple sampling techniques. In the context of Pakistan, other researchers noted the inadequacy of a research
culture in the banking sector (Amani Moazzam Baig Mirza & Nasira Jabeen, 2011) and further noted that any
research is perceived to be a “waste of time even by the management” (Nailah Ayub & Karen Jehn, 2010). In
line with the overall culture of sifaarish1 in Pakistan (Islam, 2004), the researcher depended on relied on
networking with those in power to identify the organizations that have adopted HRIS and then negotiated
physical access to the organization.
Lawson and Hepp (2001) carried out a time-series quasi-experimental study to measure the effect of
human resource practices in relationship to competitive advantage in the banking industry and studied variables
such as employee satisfaction, customer results, and business performance. Furguson and Reio (2009) carried
out a cross-sectional research comprising of 350 corporate experts (91 % executives; 9 % specialists) from a
Midwestern US professional firm who acquired a battery of survey procedures through the world-wide web.
Study by Chakrabortya and Mansor (2013), data was obtained from the secondary sources and was
analyzed. Trcek (2006) carried out a study was aimed to establish the determinants of HRIS implementation
therefore expecting to help out businesses to implement HRMIS precisely and successfully”. Trcek used
approach is based on systems dynamics and was done in two phases the first phase utilized two basic qualitative
8. Towards a Theoretical Model for Human Resource Management Information Systems, Government ..
DOI: 10.9790/487X-1901034353 www.iosrjournals.org 50 | Page
models were developed, while in the second phase the quantitative models were applied. The study by Muathe
(2010) used cross-sectional descriptive survey design and the data was collected using semi structured
questionnaire and interview schedule.
According to Midiwo (2015) in her study was informed by positivist philosophy and argues that allows
that the researcher to make various assumptions. According to Midiwo (2015) “Positivism belongs to
epistemology which can be specified as the philosophy of knowing, whereas methodology is an approach of
knowing”. Positivism philosophy is of the opinion that only factual knowledge acquired through observation
including measurement is trustworthy. Midiwo further argues that in positivism studies the researcher’s role is
data and interpretation through objective approach and the findings are observable and quantifiable.
According to Ibrahim and Muritala (2015) the effect of government policy on firms can be clarified
from either the political or technical point of view. Ibrahim and Muritala argue that politically government
policies rely on its political record, philosophy, traditions and the kind of government operations by that nation
thus “a Policy in a communist state will vary from that in a democratic state or dominion. Ibrahim and Muritala
further note that policies in a politically stable country will not be the same as that from an unstable country.
The author further note that, for a politically stable government they can take sustained business-
friendly decisions that can strengthen local business and this can be strengthened by a strong opposition. Though
where we have unstable political systems where opposition boycotts parliament and engage in street
demonstrations, businesses are bound to suffer. According to Ibrahim and Muritala (2015) from the technical
perspective, some of the policies that can impact on business directly or indirectly are as follows taxation,
subsidies, interest rates, and exchange rates.
Ibrahim and Muritala (2015) bank Lending rates and the financial policy of a government have a great
impact on its economy. If interest rate high, investment goes down since businessmen would not borrow at high
rates. The government is required to create rules which will form a basis for businesses to be “able to compete
against each other though these rules will change from time to time”. Taxation policy is a key government area
that affects organization performance. For example high tax rate on imported products will discourage
importation but on the other hand enhancing local produce.
According to Eniola and Entebang (2015) the provision of good government policy is a key component
for growth for economies. Eniola and Entebang notes that “performance is constrained by internal factors and
external factors, such as the carrying capacity of the environment, government policy or competition”.
According to Eniola and Entebang noted that the Government can come up with policies that can either enhance
or derail the growth of revolutionary technologies, products, and solutions. Eliona and Entebang further noted
that the Government can prevent “firm performance when it introduces policy which can restrict the autonomy,
as well as the entrepreneurial liberty”.
According to Eliona and Entebang (2015) the results of by (Adejugbe 2013; Nguyen, Alam, Perry, and
Prajogo 2009; Sobri Minai and Lucky 2011) indicate deficiency of “durable, economic process in these
countries prevents the growth of economies, thus the Government should play a key role in creating those
conditions”. There is a clear emphasize that “government policies cause an impression on” organizations
exploitation, organizations close association so as to come up with a combined force that can stop resources
utilization (Harvie Narjoko & Oum., 2010; Okpara, 2011; Eliona & Entebang 2015). According to Eliona and
Entebang (2015) character and span of Government policies have an impact on enterprises.
According to Dessler and Al Ariss (2012); Bartai (2014) urgued that human resource management is
concerned by the “procedures and practices” that entail the human resource issues in the work place. According
to Bartai urgued that recent advancements in technology have made it imperative to make real-time information
based, self - service and interactive work environment .According to Bartai HRIS is believed to be as a
“systematic arrangement of HR practices that enable organizations to attain their goals and be able to align
themselves to the business strategy in place”. This means that HRIS has enhanced and improved organizational
performance (Chowdhury, Yunus, Bhuiyan & Kabir, 2013; Bartai 2014).
According to Usman, Khan, Ikhlaq & Mujtaba (2012); Bartai (2014), the emergence of information
technology in the field of human resource has revolutionized the workplace immensely. Organizational
performance is the ultimate achievement of an organization and entails measures, like the existence of targets to
be attained, has time duration within which to attain the targets and the realization of efficiency and
effectiveness (Gibson et al., 2010). According to Eliona and Entebang (2015) character and span of Government
policies have an impact “on an organization's performance”. According to Ibrahim and Muritala (2015) the
government is required to create rules which will form a basis for businesses to be able to compete against each
other though these rules are bound to change from time to time.

III. Conclusion And Recommendation
The role of government in the implementation of HRMIS varies adversely depending on the
perspective one is taking. Proper conceptualization is of essence to ensure the right systems are adopted to
enhance organizations efficiency and effectiveness. Though the individuals activities of organizations may vary
based on the business they are engaged. Human resource department activities are almost the same thought
deals with issues relating to human beings are very complex. Further research can be carried out in public and
private organization to find out whether the same HRMIS systems are used and any challenges facing them.
As noted Human Resources professionals tend to fear towards technology and tend to avoid it at all
costs in their operations since they perceive their career is more of human-oriented. Recently this has been
challenged since there is a shift in terms of processes applied within the literature above, more need to be done
regarding the use of new HRMIS in the workplace despite the resistance faced during implementation .The
purpose of this paper is to provide literature review of the effects of technology on HR. Furthermore the use of
online payroll is less costly and ensures the adherence of governmental regulatory and deadlines and it enhances
the ability for employees to obtain their data anywhere and makes work easy.
Online security is a key issue which calls for organization to embrace modern technologies to avoid
putting employees’ information at risk. The adoption of the new technologies requires support from top
management as well as employee commitment. Few researches that have been carried out show the relationship
between human resource management practices and performance within firms. The HR function in Africa has
not embraced the use of new technology to provide integrated services or to communicate more effectively. This
therefore creates a gap this research will carry out on the government role on HRMIS implementation on
organizational performance.
This research proposes to use decretive survey design specifically cross-sectional survey design for
data collection will be used to obtain good results. The descriptive research design framework is more
investigative and looks at the variable as it is and goes a notch higher to describe them since it’s more
investigative in nature. Descriptive design is perceived to be fit and runs hand in hand with the purpose of the
research which is human resource information systems, government policy and organizational performance.
Since the data will be collected once, cross sectional design will be more applicable to the study. A semi
structured questionnaire and interviews schedule will be used as a tool for data collection.
