Description

Human Resource Information Systems: Basics, Applications, and Future Directions is a cross-disciplinary book that provides a thorough introduction to the field of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), a combination of two major management fields that impact the competitive advantage of companies—human resources and information systems. Unlike other HRIS textbooks that overwhelm students with technical info and jargon, this revised Third Edition offers a balanced approach in dealing with HR and IT/IS issues by drawing from experts in both areas.

A textbook that covers comprehensive areas of HRMS.
Mr Mohammed Kofahi, Faculty of Information Technology, Al Albayt University
As this is one of several topics covered in my module it really offers all the details of the topic that the students need for the class but also for the assessments. It poses several interesting questions that can be used for class debate.
Ms Michelle McLardy, Coventry Business School, Coventry University
It was a best book I could find for an introduction to the concepts of information systems in a HR setting. Most of my students are new to the concepts of host side processing.
