Adoption of Human Resource Information Systems: Impact of Industry, Size and Market

The key to the human resource management progress from a traditional to a strategic function is implementing information technology (IT) solutions, enabling fast, accurate, and effective decision making. The trends are certainly going in that direction; since Human Resources Information System (HRIS) has proven to be one of the widely used tools in organizations at the beginning of this century. This study’s objective is to determine the characteristics of the companies according to their usage of HRIS. The following characteristics were investigated: the company’s size (measured in the number of employees), size of the market at which the company operates, growth of the market at which the company operates, and company industry. The logistic regression model was developed to investigate to what extent the characteristics mentioned above impact the decision of the company to use HRIS. The results indicate that size, market size, and market growth impact the decision to use HRIS, while there were no differences according to industry types.
