Abstract
This paper evaluated the nexus between Human Resource Officers' (HROs)
attributes and their comprehension and usage of Human Resource Information
Systems (HRIS) output. The study was conducted across 37 Local Government
Authorities (LGAs) in six regions namely: Mwanza, Arusha, Dodoma, Morogoro,
Iringa and Kagera. 201 structured questionnaires were distributed to HROs
between May and July 2020. Additionally, in-depth interviews were scheduled
and undertaken with eight (8) key informants to accrue additional data on
Human Resources Management (HRM) practices. The findings from the ordered
logistic model indicate that all four HRO attributes examined (HRIS experience,
Information Technology (IT) Skills, IT Knowledge, HR Knowledge) exhibited
positive β-values and are statistically significant in influencing HRO
understanding of HRIS outputs. Furthermore, all four HRO attributes exhibited
positive β-values demonstrating that they significantly influence HRO decision making processes. However, only IT knowledge and HR knowledge were
statistically significant. The study asserts that HRO attributes significantly
influence their understanding of HRIS outputs and utilize the same to inform
decision making in Tanzania’s LGAs.
