Development of Human Resource Management System: A Case Study of the Department of Establishment, Akwa Ibom State Civil Service, Nigeria

Abstract

The study aimed to examine the development of the human resource management system in Nigeria. The project is all about developing a means that automates the manual process of personnel management in the civil service. Data collection involved both primary and secondary sources. The primary source involved an oral interview conducted with various personnel in the department. They shared their experiences in using the manual system and the computer. Secondary sources included the use of textbooks, dictionaries, internet downloads on the field, and journals written on the field. The findings revealed that this automated process improved productivity, making the working environment more relaxing and the work itself easier. Less time is used to achieve a task that normally would take days to achieve by many people. Strong security of the system and information is emphasized for this new system to be maintained and really be dependent.
