| Information Technology (IT) is a critical resource for today’s businesses (Pearlson, 2009). It supports a large amount of an organization’s resources such as people, money and machine. Technology facilitates employees at their workplace. Employees could focus on their time and value - added work by integrating Human Resource Information System (HRIS) into their organization’s set up. The main purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which SME’s have adopted human resource information systems and to examine its uses, benefits and barriers in this industry. The main findings of this study revealed that quick response and access to information were the main benefits of HRIS implementation. Inadequate financial support, intricacies involved in changing the organization’s culture and lack of assurance from top management were some of the barriers to HRIS implementation. This could, in turn, help in improving the effectiveness of HRIS in this industry. |
