dc.description.abstract | As organizations undergo process reengineering and go electronic, the role of their human resources department also undergoes transformation from the role of an administrative expert to a change agent and strategic partner. On the other hand, organizations need to streamline the operating process for integrated management of corporate and business information to further improve their productivity and quality of service, while reducing costs and increasing employee satisfaction.
At the same time, to redirect the time and energy of their human resource specialists to high value-added activities that aim at strategic development and to increase the output of human resource staff, it is imperative for organizations to take the advantage of information system to aid their internal human resources management activities. This way, it is more likely to achieve effective management and development of human assets. Using information technology to enhance the quality and efficiency of human resources management and adopting integrated information management, enterprises are able to manage internal and external human resources more rapidly, accurately and efficiently.
This study targeted the case of Company A that has implemented e-HR system. Adopting a qualitative approach focusing on in-depth interview, the study has interviewed the key users of e-HR system in Company A and examined the reasons for Company A to adopt the human resource system and the course of its planning and implementation based on relevant data of Company A before and after system implementation, coupled with literature review and interview data. The study also makes suggestions for planning of subsequent module construction.
Based on the study results, it is suggested that Company A needs to consider including human resources planning module, which is a management system that an organization can use for integrated management of human resources needs, into its subsequent module development undertaking. Good human resources planning enables a company to respond early to the supply and demand changes in the external environment. Such human resources planning module can be used to identify, analyze, predict and plan the changes and demands for human resources, thereby enhancing the organization’s operational efficiency. | en_US |
