Abstract
Human resource management encompasses activities such as attraction, maintenance, and improvement of work force to achieve individual and organizational goals. Human resource information systems are combinations of human resource management and databanks. This is a technology for attraction, maintenance, editing, investigation, reviving and distribution of human resources. Human resource information systems are part of main information system of the organization which covers other parts such as accounting, production and marketing. In this research, the effect of performance, communicative, and transformational dimensions of human resource information system (HRIS) are identified and their implementations are assessed. The research literature as well as the opinions of the experts are analysed to identify the dimensions of the issue. For the assessment of their implementation, the opinions of the public administrators are used. The results show that emphasizing on the performance advantage of applying human resource information systems can be misleading, because their main advantage of their implementation is due to their communicative and transformational dimensions.
