The Intensity of Human Resources Information Systems usage and Organizational Performance

Abstract

Information technologies have become pervasive in various organizational functions. However, their usage impacts organizational performance in various manner, and it depends on the intensity of information technology usage. Human resources information systems (HRIS) are widely used in various organizations. Previous research investigated impact of HRIS to organizational performance, but on the country level and from the adoption perspective. In this work, we focus on the intensity of HRIS usage in organizations and their impact on organizational performance. In order to investigate this relationship, we develop several regression models, using the global dataset with large number of companies worldwide. Research results revealed that the strongest impact to organizational performance is attained trough the intensity of HRIS usage, measured by the number of different functionalities available in the software systems. However, this could also be the result of overall development of organizational management and its impact on organizational performance.
