Exploring the Benefits and Barriers in the Implementation of Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in KP Public Sector Hospitals
Abstract
HRIS (human resource information system) is the combination of human resources and information technology. The current study is undertaken to explore the benefits, barriers, and their solutions in HRIS implementation in KPK public sector hospitals. It is an exploratory study where phenomenology strategy is adopted and data is collected through semi-structured opinion interviews. The current study finds out that there are multiple benefits of using HRIS in hospitals like saving time, updating and securing data of employees, and giving future forecasts about the need for HR. Although, there are also some barriers in the way of implementing HRIS like lack of funds, employee resistance and lack of interest from the government side.
