ABSTRACT: The study aimed at
examining the perceived importance of human resource information system (HRIS)
in business. A structured questionnaire was used to get an opinion from human
resource end-users from the 55 scheduled banks consisted of 8427 branches. A
total of 1200 responses were returned as the complete form. The study then
extracted the perceived important reasons of using HRIS in business through
principal component (PCA) analysis. In addition, one-way analysis of variance
(ANOVA) was tested to examine the variance levels among the responses. The
results of the existing study revealed that HRIS only automates the repetitive
HR functions but also facilitates HR end-users in allocating workforces
effectively, promoting suitable corporate culture, designing employees’ career
plan and improving services to the employees. Further, it found no significant
variances among HR end-users’ responses on the perceived importance of HRIS
according to their demographic variables. Albeit many studies had been
conducted on the importance of HRIS, there was hardly any study that had gone
through factor analysis. However, this study provided broad evidence to enrich
the existing literature in the respective field, with improved methodological
and measurement issues including factor analysis over the previous studies, to
unleash the importance of HRIS in business.
