The human resource management (HRM) can be structured according to different key perspectives (e.g., Stone, 2002). One viewpoint concerns the applications and information technology-based human resource information systems (HRIS) that can be seen as an additional solution to carry out the successful human resource management. The historical perspective of the current topic shows how organizations have had various management information systems and decision supportive systems. Both of these have direct links to human-computer interaction and human behavior (e.g., Zhang & Dillon, 2003). In management context, however, demand for successful HRM is challenging as human resources are led in specific situations (Hershey, Blanchard, & Johnson, 2000) and managed in changing organizational environments (Sashkin & Sashkin, 2003). Leadership studies have shown that management should be accompanied with the widerange of managerial options. Hence, as one element of e-governance, there is need for advanced electronic human resource management (e-HRM) systems that are acceptable and effective (rf. Stone, Stone-Romero, & Lukaszewski, 2006).

Therefore more and more organizations are adopting computer based human resource management systems (HRMS) This paper is an attempt to highlight the value of information systems in Human Resource Management.

Human resource information system is a database system that has been developed to provide the necessary assistance to HR in terms of decision making and reporting of information. It is basically one of the key elements that is critical in the overall management information system (MIS) of an organization. It is an IT-enabled HR service available to the HR managers for data analysis and decision making. HRIS provides the necessary support to the HR managers in making a quality decision by ensuring that there is adequate and timely relevant information that is available. The scope is so wide that it can provide information about every aspect of an employee, starting with his recruitment and ending with his retirement. As such, HRIS facilitates the use of computer technology to streamline HR operations, cut costs and eventually enhance the effectiveness of human resource management. As technology evolves, so does its impact on strategic human resource planning. Human resource information systems are electronic systems that compile information in databases to be easily accessed and analyzed. Some information systems allow automation of processes, such as payroll tax calculations, while others streamline processes by minimizing the need for manual data entry and paper records, thus increasing accuracy and efficiencyDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijssm.v2i2.122898          Int.

The human factor has been reassessed with regard to strategic initiatives towards obtaining and preserving competitive advantage. Knowledge, experience and special skills are a specific form of capital, forming part of the organisations’ assets and serving as an organisational strategic resource. Their development and use require major investments, both on the part of the individual and the organisation. In a Europe undergoing integration, the quality of human resources enjoy priority among our really important values and specific features. The opportunities of the near future can be utilised, and agricultural economic organizations can survive and increase their organizational effectiveness, if they possess a basis of human capital which is able to make a shift in perspective and behaviour which is of primary importance from the point of view of incorporating market mechanisms and implementing them in practice. My investigations were focused on the current position of human resource management in a comprehensive manner; further, on the approach of top managers regarding the future. Analysing the business and other indicators of the companies studied, I have set the objective to describe the differences and special features of the human resource management practice of companies, which are different in size, operational form, and from the perspective of success or failure.Human resource management is directed to attracting, retaining, motivating and utilising labour. A given work process can be successful or unsuccessful – given the same conditions – depending on who performs it. Therefore, human resource management related tasks require special attention when enterprises are planned, established and operated. On analysing the responsibilities of human resource management, I have found that the functions and responsibilities of human resource have low or medium importance in the operation of economic organisations today. Regarding the future, top managers have expressed higher expectations of human resource management responsibilities in all areas and they consider individual functions to be more important. The establishment and operation of a human resource information system has been presented as the most important need for change. Correlation analyses have proved that the higher the sales revenues of a company, the higher the development of human resources is regarded by its manager, and the same holds for training, career support and a proper establishment and continuous evaluation of job profiles.
