Abstract:
The aim of this study is to identify the impact of internal environmental
factors on the level of adoption of Human Resource Information System (HRIS). The
current study was designed to identify the impact of internal environment factors on the
level of adoption of HRIS in manufacturing companies in western province of Sri Lanka.
A structured questionnaire was designed, pre-tested, modified, and used to capture data
on a cross-section of HRIS adoption manufacturing companies in Western province.
Findings of this study concluded that internal environmental factors such as socio
technology skills of CEO, top management support, centralization and HRIS experience
of employees have a positive impact on the level of adoption of HRIS. In addition, this
study provides some insights into the level of adoption of HRIS by manufacturing
companies, which will aid HR practitioners to acquire a better understanding of the
current status, benefits, and barriers on adoption of HRIS. However, there may be other
factors which need inclusion to better explain extent of adoption of HRIS in
manufacturing companies in western province of Sri Lanka.
