Proposed e-HRM System for Isabela State University

Abstract

Using the descriptive and developmental design, it aimed to expedite
the transactions and modernize the documentation processes at Human
Resource Management (HRM) office of Isabela State University (ISU).
There were 60 participants involved: nine (9) HR personnel, forty-three
(43) teaching/non-teaching staff and eight (8) IT experts. Questionnaire
and Library/Internet were employed as research instruments. With the use
of the weighted mean, the study ascertained that the current processes
and services module of HR office were rated efficient. This could further
mean that the HR personnel were accustomed with the existing kind of
processes at present but aiming for a better way of doing their job. The
problems encountered in the current processes and services of HR are:
lack of manpower; delay in the issuance of needed reports; lack of system
software; traditional/manual way of keeping; organizing and sorting of
files; inefficient checking/computation of leave credits; and, inconsistency
in the implementation of policy. These maybe the reasons why there were
paper documents misplaced. The proposed e-HRM was assessed by the
participants as “very efficient”. This further implies that the teachers, who
are the majority of the participants, manifest satisfaction in relation to the
organization/agency where they belong because they are contented with
the services of the HR office. As regards the proposed e-HRM system, the
participants expressed apprehensions on the manpower needed, preferably
an IT expert, who can use or operate the system. The proposed e-HRM, in
terms of the different software quality characteristics was assessed to a
“great extent”. This means that the proposed system met most of the users’
requirements and it is in compliance to ISO 9126 standards. Therefore,
the developed e-HRM system ensures better processes and services of HR
office as compared to the current processes and services.
