Information is vital to the survival and growth of the firm. The human resource function is most critical, must be performed with conjunction with the strategic purposes of the firm and is primarily responsible for integrating all parts of the organization through information systems. When reference is made to the Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in today’s environment of high tech wizardry, it is often thought as a business tool that allows for standardization in the gathering of information about and for a company’s employees. Although this was the original purpose of HRIS, many additional uses are beginning to emerge. Most of the studies made on HRIS are descriptive, non-specific and generic in nature and far from empirical and pragmatic bases, while the HRIS scenario in India has largely remained unexplored. The available research on the subject are largely surveys limited to the extent and use of HRIS in large and small organizations, but no in-depth study has so far been attempted on a single large organization. It is in this backdrop that the present study has been undertaken to fill in this vital gap in the existing research. This paper tries to examine the status of HRIS of a large organization like National Aluminium Company Ltd. (NALCO).

Abstract


Information is vital to the survival and growth of the firm. The human resource function is most critical, must be performed with conjunction with the strategic purposes of the firm and is primarily responsible for integrating all parts of the organization through information systems. When reference is made to the Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in today’s environment of high tech wizardry, it is often thought as a business tool that allows for standardization in the gathering of information about and for a company’s employees. Although this was the original purpose of HRIS, many additional uses are beginning to emerge. Most of the studies made on HRIS are descriptive, non-specific and generic in nature and far from empirical and pragmatic bases, while the HRIS scenario in India has largely remained unexplored. The available research on the subject are largely surveys limited to the extent and use of HRIS in large and small organizations, but no in-depth study has so far been attempted on a single large organization. It is in this backdrop that the present study has been undertaken to fill in this vital gap in the existing research. This paper tries to examine the status of HRIS of a large organization like National Aluminium Company Ltd. (NALCO).
