Abstract
The main purpose of the study was to investigate factors affecting the adoption Of Human Resource Information Systems in SACCOs, with specific reference to Nawiri SACCO Limited-Embu. The statement of the problem being why most SACCO institutions have partially adopted or not adopted the said system which is largely attributed to inadequate resources, poor infrastructure, poor leadership and the ineffectiveness of communication. The purpose of the study was to explore the factors affecting the adoption of human resource information systems in savings and credit companies: the case of Nawiri SACCO Society limited, Embu County, Kenya. The specific objectives were to determine the effect of infrastructure, leadership, resources and communication on technological change in SACCOs in Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive research design. The target population for this study was staff of Nawiri SACCO limited, Embu County, Kenya. The study involved 59 sampled and randomly selected Nawiri SACCO staff. The study relied on data collected through questionnaires structured to meet the objectives of the study and an interview guide. Responses were tabulated, coded and processed by use of computer Statistical package for Social Science (SPSS) version 19 program to analyze the data. It is believed that the study was significant to Nawiri SACCO limited because they were able to understand the factors affecting the adoption of Human Resource Information Systems and manage it effectively and efficient. Other researchers in this field will utilize the results of this study as part of secondary data in enhancing future studies. The study will also facilitate individual researcher to identify gaps in the current research and carry out research in those areas. The study found that there exists a positive association between; ICT resource availability, leadership, ICT infrastructure and leadership on the adoption of HRIS on SACCOs in Kenya. This positive association suggests that when one factor increases, adoption of HRIS on SACCOs increases. The study therefore concludes that ICT resource availability, Communication, leadership and ICT infrastructure influence the adoption of HRIS on SACCOs in Kenya. The study found that there exists a positive association between resource availability and adoption of HRIS on SACCOs in Kenya, leadership and adoption of HRIS on SACCOs in Kenya, infrastructure and adoption of HRIS on SACCOs in Kenya, and influence of communication and adoption of HRIS on SACCOs in Kenya. This study established the influence of the adoption of HRIS on SACCOs in Kenya attempting to bridge the gap in knowledge that existed. Although the study attained these, it mainly focused on one SACCO that is Nawiri SACCO in Embu County. There is need to replicate the study using many other SACCOs in Kenya in an attempt to compare the findings. There is need to conduct a similar study which will attempt to find out the ICT challenges facing SACCOs in Kenya.
