HRIS System
Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is the collaboration
of databases, application of computer, hardware and software needed to collect
or record, store, manage, deliver, present and manipulate data from human
resources (Broderick and Boudreau, 1992). Applying HRIS into organization
system help organization become more efficient in managing their human resource
data and information.
In one hand, HRIS should give benefit to the
organization such as easily get the accurate information, faster in getting the
information as well as the saving of cost (Lederer, 1984; Tetz, 1973; Wille and
Hammond, 1981). In the other hand, HRIS also have it barrier to be apply.
According to Beckers and Bsat (2002), the major obstacle in implementing HRIS
is the setting up cost will be high. Lack of support from the top management is
also the factor of why the HRIS is hard to be implementing beside the
insufficient of money (Kovach and Cathcart, 1999). This barrier can lead to not
achieving the full potential of HRIS. Other than that, the need of HR knowledge
by HRIS designer is also important to ensure the system is trully support the
process of storing and getting the HR information.
HRIS System Architecture.
In HRIS, there are 3 type of HRIS
technological architecture system which is Standalone System Model, Data
Warehouse Model and Single Integrated Model. All this 3 architecture have their
own differences such as the suitable of organization, the ways of transferring
data, the ways of operating and many more.
Standalone System model is the most
basic model. This system model can be categorize in the difficult system to do
the analysis. It is because, they are using its own independent system while
runs each operating units without integration. It is not effective in doing a
decision making and waste of time. It can be used in multinational
organization. The way of information will be update usually using fax,
telephone, mail and in person.
Data Warehouse Model is more linkage
and also batter than standalone system model. The data update automatically
from all operating unit. Beside all units run same version of the software, it
also maximizing resources, saving costs, shared application and enterprise in
dealing with vendor. It can be used in international organization.
Single Integrated System Model suite
for the global and transnational organization. It connects directly with
database. Its also using the same screens worldwide with appropriate changes
for different language in different country.
