| dc.description.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. | |
