Exploring the organizational adoption of Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) in the Australian public sector

Abstract

Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) are becoming an increasingly important tool in helping modern organizations manage their human assets effectively. However, to date the organizational adoption of HRIS remains an under-researched phenomenon. Adopting the technology-organization- environment model as an analytical framework, this exploratory investigation draws on qualitative evidence collected from Australian public sector organisations to isolate the factors concerning the organizational adoption of HRIS in the public sector before discussing implications and future research directions.
