<p>La crisis económica de los últimos años ha impactado especialmente en el sector financiero y se ha hecho sentir tanto en el estrés que soportan los empleados de las sucursales de bancos y cajas como en sus niveles de compromiso con la empresa. En este trabajo se analizan los componentes del compromiso laboral en una muestra de 102 trabajadores del sector de la banca confirmándose las dimensiones clásicas del modelo de Allen y Meyer (1996). La relación causal del compromiso con el estrés se testa con un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales dando por resultado que cuanto mayor es el compromiso de la plantilla, menores son los niveles de estrés. Como conclusión se señalan las medidas de gestión del capital humano que podrían mejorar los niveles de compromiso en este sector.</p><p>The economic crisis of recent years has particularly impacted the financial sector.

Technological advancement in the 21st century has unlocked possibilities in all spheres of existence. Lately, with the advent of the Covid-19 pandemic, the workplace has been transformed, and businesses are operating in unchartered waters. A human resource management information system is believed to guarantee a more efficient and effective way of managing human capital in organizations.

Many organizations are, therefore, still stuck with the traditional way of managing human capital. On this basis, this study sought to establish the effectiveness of recruitment information systems in human capital management. The study was anchored on the resource-based theory of the firm and used a cross-sectional research design with a target population of 458 employees. A sample size of 213 respondents was determined while stratified and simple random sampling techniques were adopted to select the respondents for the study. A structured questionnaire was used to obtain primary data from the respondents. The reliability of the questionnaire was tested through a pilot study where an average Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.89 was obtained. The validity of the questionnaire was ensured by doing a detailed literature review and consultation with subject experts. Descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) were used to summarize data, while correlation analysis was used to test the study's hypothesis. Results were presented using tables. The findings established that recruitment information systems had a strong positive relationship (R = 0.873, β1 = 0.518, R2 = 0.762, p = 0.05) with human capital management, indicating that James Finlay Limited should invest more in Recruitment information systems.
