ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to identify the impact of human
resources information systems on the selection and
recruitment strategy in the Potash Company. to achieve these
objectives a questionnaire was developed to collect data and
the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS.16.) was used
to analyze the study data. A number of results were
highlighted The level of importance of human resources
information systems (efficiency of human resources
information system, integration with other management
information systems) in the company according to
respondents’ perceptions was moderate.
In addition to the impact of this dimension in HR selection
and recruitment strategy, HRIS explained (58.3%) of the
variation in the strategy of selection and recruitment of
human resources in the Arab Potash Company.
Based on the results that the study reached, it shed light
many recommendations, the most important of which is the
design of website for the Arab Potash Company, which is easy
to use and uncomplicated so that individuals who wish to
work in these companies can apply electronically, which
provides the company with the opportunity to attract as many
as possible applicants who have high competencies.
Key words : Human Resources, Information Systems.
1. INTRODUCTION
The efficiency of a company depends on the effectiveness of
its human resources in it.Therefore, it is necessary to pay
attention to the selection of human resources on scientific and
objective basis, by putting each person in the right place that
suits his qualifications and abilities. Here came the
importance of choosing to access the most efficient human
resources. The effectiveness and success of selection depends
on the process of attraction and its success. Attracting the best
human resources facilitates selection and recruitment among
fewer people who have the required characteristics of the
vacancy. In addition, the selection and hiring function is
represented in the natural extension of the research function
and attracting the forces of the appropriate workforce. And
then comes the selection process for a trade-off between the
individual applicants to fill the vacant post in terms of the
degree of suitability for the job[1]. So the need for (HRIS) is
necessary, which appeared, through the provision of data
and facts about employees, activities and policies of person ,
which facilitates the production of information and reports
that help in decision-making[2].
THE STUDY PROBLEM
This study came in response to the question about the impact
of human resources information systems in the strategy of
selection and recruitment of human resources in the Arab
Potash Company and its role in the success and development
of companies.
Main Hypothesis (H01):
According the problem of the study the following hypotheses
are presented:-
"There is no impact of statistical significance of human
resource information systems (efficiency of human resources
information systems, integration with other MIS, response) in
the selection and recruitment of employees at the level of
significance (.05)".
The Importance of the Study
The importance of this study lies in the effect of human
resources in the success and development of companies.
Human resources systems play a major role in the selection
and recruitment of human resources that are distinguished by
their efficiency and effectiveness and contribution to achieve
corporate goals and success. The importance of this study is
shown through providing formal procedures enhanced with
competitive experience by the selection and development of
personnel based on HR-based procedures.
2. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
This study seeks to determine the impact of human resources
information systems in the strategy of selecting, hiring human
resources and determining their role in the success of
The Impact of Human Resources Information Systems on Human Resources

companies by contributing to the achievement of the
company's main objectives.
3.THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
When the concept of selection and hiring is mentioned, it
comes to mind that there are two different processes separated
from each other. However, one who studies thoroughly the
definition of this process among most writers and
administrators finds that hiring is only a step or procedure
that comes at the end of the selection stage and as a result
where the candidate applicant to the post will be employee of
the company, after successfully passing the procedures,
including the trial period [3].
Al-Shawish defines it as the selection and hiring of the labor
force on a sound basis of readiness and competence, and the
ability to achieve the objectives and to engage them in jobs
that are compatible with their preparations, abilities and
competencies[4]. There are the foundations that depend on
efficiency and merit that ensures putting the right person in
the right place and the success of the company. Therefore, the
importance of the selection and hiring refer to the functions of
the company, in terms of its impact on the activities of the
company, and its impact on the employees and their trends
towards work, the conditions of his/her work and the future of
his job. There are methods used in the selection process and
the hiring where differentiation and competition are the
methods used in selection and hiring widely among
companies. But companies differ from each other in the
procedures and steps involved in the selection and hiring
process. These steps can be summed up, where the priority is
for the applicants and ends with a new employer within the
company [5].
Figure 1: HR Selection Methods (Gulati & Khera,2012)
According to Gulati The study is conducted on the biggest
seven information technology companies according to their
shares in the Indian market[6]. It aimed at identifying the
benefits of HRIS in IT organizations, clarifying the role of
HRS in the strategic activities of HR managers in HR
planning in these organizations. The study concluded that the
human resources information systems help to:
1. Making human resources decisions with high efficiency.2.
To provide better supervision and control of the workforce of
the Organization.
3. Reduce the cost of labour and the various costs in the
organization.
4. Completion of all human resources development activities
from training, development and sequential planning, tracking
of recruitment and selection processes, workforce planning,
retention of personal information, salary planning, analysis of
absenteeism from work, turnover analysis, scheduling,
compensation management, performance management,
management of benefits such as returns, health insurance and
life insurance[6]

According to Obeidat the purposes of this study are to discuss
the linkage between human resources information systems
and human resources management functions. The theoretical
framework of the study was based on human resource
management and previous research. The role of human
resources contribution was measured by compliance and the
level of application of human resources functions to HR
functionalities. A questionnaire was sent to five different
Jordanian banks with a response rate of (61.5%). The target
groups of the questionnaire were human resources
departments, which included human resources managers and
professionals in the Jordanian banking sector[7].
Some of the functions of human resources information
systems were found to have a relationship with HRM
functionalities. Particularly, the study found that strategic
integration, forecasting, planning, human resource analysis,
communication and integration have nothing to do with HR
functionalities. While performance development and
knowledge and records management have been linked to
human resource functions, the human resources information
systems are the dimensions.

According to Ball the study aims at surveying the usage of
human resources information systems in small foundations in
Canada. The study investigated the nature of electronic data
storage in three areas: individuals, training, employment, and
the diversity of information analysis. The study concluded
Hisham Mobideen et al., International Journal of Advanced Trends in Computer Science and Engineering, 8(5),September - October 2019, 2475- 2484
2477
that there is a significant relationship between the total
number of employees and some aspects of their stored
information. It also found that small enterprises are less likely
to use human resources information systems, and that HR
information systems are often used less in training and
recruitment. The study recommended activating the use of
human resources information systems in operations
management completely and not limited to data analysis, and
the establishment of an integrated database to store data
related to employees[8].

According to Negin& et al.[9]the study aims at analyzing the
possibilities and difficulties facing e-employment in small
and medium enterprises in Malaysia and explaining the
nature of the process and some administrative effects on these
procedures. The researcher used the questionnaire as a data
collection tool in this study and the descriptive and analytical
method. The study sample was randomly selected. A sample
of 60 small and medium enterprises was selected in all three
economic sectors: agriculture, services and manufacturing.
The study concluded that the results of expressing attitudes
and opinions of small and medium enterprises' executives
towards e-recruitment as a sub-function of integrated human
resources management. It can be seen as an improvement in
their value in key critical technological activities for human
resources management. Results show that the ability to
communicate and to deal with the multilingual environment
is one of the most important operational benefits of e-HR
management.The study recommended the use of modern
technology as a means of internal and external transactions in
companies and building full and comprehensive data bases
for storing them in relation to employees in companies, while
following up technological developments and their use.

on the above to serve the original study model. It is as follows:
Figure 5: Sub-Model (4)
According to Hamarna The aim of this study is to investigate
the extent to which the e-recruitment system is implemented
in the agencies of the United Nations in the occupied
Palestinian territories. The study population may be from all
the personnel employed in the field of employment and
human resources in the agencies of the United Nations in the
occupied Palestinian territories (150) employees. During the
course of the study, 49 Copies of the questionnaire were
restored; the questionnaire is a tool for collecting data of five
parts. The corresponding study was used to determine the
nature of the e-recruitment system in force in the UN
agencies. The study reached the following results:
1. There is a direct relationship between e-recruitment and the
importance and benefits of using the system in UN agencies.
As well as the existence of an IT infrastructure that has the
ability to provide the needs of software, servers and system
management devices.
2. The results also showed the positive impact of the senior
management on supporting the implementation of the
e-recruitment system in the agencies of the United Nations.
Finally, the study recommended: that the United Nations
agencies should strengthen the e-recruitment system to
reduce the financial and administrative expenses resulting
from advertising about jobs by newspapers and fields, while
job seekers can search through the organization's
e-recruitment site and choose the job which the applicant
wishes to submit to it simply. The researcher also
recommended the need to monitor the system by providing
the possibility of tracking the screening of applicants and the
holding of examinations and interviews at each stage of
employment. Figure 6 illustrator A sub-model (5) has been
developed based on the above to serve the original study
model. It is as follows:[10]

4.DATA ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION
The objective of this study was to study the impact of human
resource information systems in the strategy of selecting and
assigning human resources and its role in the development of
Arab Potash Company. Therefore, the results of this study
will be presented and analyzed in this section. The study
adopted descriptive analysis to describe the characteristics of
the sample using (SPSS.16.1) in the processing of data to
answer the study questions and test its hypotheses.
A. Study tool
The consistency of the tool was determined by the method of
extracting the stability coefficient for the tool in its final
formula and for each dimension of the study. The internal
consistency was calculated by using the Cronbach Alpha
equation for the instrument as a whole and for each of its
fields.
Table 1 :The internal consistency was calculated by using the
Cronbach Alpha
Table 1 shows the values of Cronbach's Alpha coefficients for
both human resources information systems and the strategy of
selection and employment of human resources.
A. Showing results
This section includes a detailed presentation of the results of
the study in light of the questions that aimed at measuring the
impact of human resource information systems in the strategy
of selecting and assigning human resources according to the
sequence of their questions. The results of the study and the
recommendations arising from these results were discussed.
To answer the study questions the responses of the individuals
of the sample were evaluated based on the following criterion.
According to Table 2, if the arithmetic average of the
responses of the individuals of the sample is greater than 3.5,
it will be considered high, but if it falls in the range of
(3.49-2.5), it will be considered moderate otherwise when it is
less than 2.49 it will be judged as a low response .

What is the level of importance of human resources
information systems according to the perceptions of the
respondents in the potash companies?
To explain the respondent answers we calculate the average
and standard deviation of the dimensions such as perceptions
of availability of human resources information systems.
Table 3 : Importance of the Dimensions of HRIS
Table 3 shows that the general average of the importance of
the dimensions of human resources information systems in
the Arab Potash Company was 3.48 and a standard deviation
(0.77). This means that the level of perceptions of the study

A. Testing hypotheses
Before applying the regression analysis to test the hypotheses
of the study, the researcher conducted some tests in order to
ensure the adequacy of the data for regression analysis the
following tests were made:
1. Multi collinearity which will be tested using tolerance with
T> 0.05 and variance inflation factor which should be greater
than 10 to avoid it .
2. Multi variate normality which can be checked by skewness
coefficient with the Nile that the distribution is normal when
the torsion coefficient is less than 1.

Skewness coefficient

From Table 8, we notice that the VIF values for all variables
are less than (10) and range from (3.019 - 3.426). Tolerance
values ranged from (0.292 to 0.331), and it is greater than
(0.05). This is an indication of the absence of a high
correlation between the independent variables
(Multicolinearity). It was confirmed that the data follow
normal distribution by calculating the skewness coefficient,
since it is less than (1) and ranged between (0.297-0.596).

Results in Table 10 indicate that the dimension of integration
of HRIS have an impact on the selection and recruitment of
the company's employees in terms of (Beta) coefficients for
these two dimensions. At the same time the increase in value
of t is calculated at the level of( α≤ 0.05), and calculated
values of (t) equal (2.242 and 3.076), respectively. They are
significant at the level of (α≤0.05).
So there was no effect of this dimension of (efficiency of
human resources information systems) in terms of the (Beta)
coefficients of this dimension as in the table and the
significance of the decrease in value (t) calculated from its
tabulated value at the level of (α≤0.05) where the calculated
values of (t) equal (1.128) ). The following is required:
Rejecting the null hypothesis and accepting the alternative
hypothesis .
Stepwise Multiple Regression analysis was performed to
determine the significance of each independent dimension
separately in the contribution to the arithmetic model as
illustrated in Table 11.

Table 11 shows the order of entry of the independent
dimensions in the regression equation. The dimension of (the
response of human resources information systems) ranked
first and explained separately (52.1%) of the total variance in
the selection and recruitment of employees in the company.
The dimension of ( Integration of Human Resources
Information Systems) entered next where the two dimensions
of (response of human resource information systems and
human resources information systems integration) accounted
for (57.8%) of the total variance in the selection and
recruitment of employees in the company, i.e., the dimension
of the (integration of human resources information systems)
alone explained (5.7%) of variance in the dependent variable
(selection and recruitment of employees in the company).
5. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
In view of the responses of the surveyed sample, the following
results were reached and discussed as follows:
Firstly, the results indicate that the arithmetic averages of the
perceptions of the individuals of the study sample for the level
of availability of the dimensions of the human resources
information systems at the macro level were "medium" with
an average of (3.48) and a standard deviation of (0.77). The
researcher attributes this result to the application of this
system in any company cannot be complete even in large
companies because of the many challenges that vary in
intensity and impact from one company to another. The Arab
Potash Company is one of the companies facing many
difficulties and different challenges, including organizational
difficulties and problems of change and redesign of the
organizational structure, the difficulty in building,
developing and modifying the human resources information
system, the lack of specialized experts in human resources
systems, and the lack of acceptance of the majority of workers
for technological development because of their lack of
experience in these systems and familiarity with traditional
systems.

We will not forget the importance of these systems in the
pursuit of the development and success of these companies
where they help in collecting data necessary for the
management, maintenance and preservation of the system,
introducing conversion and operation processes to provide
beneficiaries later and then provide officials with information
about personnel working in the company in the areas of
benefits and compensation, training and competency
development, evaluation of performance, in addition to
providing information about selection systems, assessment
and analysis of activities, competencies and skills
development and career planning. The importance of human
resources information systems is shown in the Integration
with the company's other MIS, such as marketing information
system, manufacturing information system, technical
processes, conversion information systems and other
information systems within the company that ensure an
integrated, holistic information system that serves
decision-making at the company level to provide the
information needed by external parties taking into account
confidentiality and information availability for publication.
As for the ranking of human resources information systems
axes, HRMS integration ranked first and obtained a high
"3.52" arithmetic mean. This result can be explained by the
fact that HRIS may provide integration with other activities of
the company to assist in preparing Comprehensive and
integrated reports with the activities and operations of the
company. That will help to achieve the necessary support for
different departments to make various decisions correctly.
As for the efficiency of human resources information systems,
it came in the second place with a "high" arithmetic average
of 3.50. To explain this result, the researcher suggests that
HRIS helps to produce accurate information that decision
makers can trust to make decisions. The human resources
information used by the Arab Potash Company is
comprehensive, suitability, easy and continuous maintenance
of these systems. Most importantly, they minimize the
material costs that may result from using of traditional
systems due to the use of paper, pens and other materials.
The results showed that the averages of the perceptions of the
Arab Potash Company respondents that the selection and
recruitment obtained an average mean of 3.29. The researcher
attributed the interpretation of this result to that HRIS may
not help in revealing the real skills of the employees to help in
the performance of the company through the recruitment of
highly skilled and qualified employees. It may be that the
bases and criteria adopted by the Arab Potash Company in the
selection process and recruitment are not clear to its
employees that may help to find compatibility between the job
and employees.
The results showed that there is an impact of human
resources information systems in the selection and
recruitment strategy. HRIS would help reducing the chance of
problems such as absence from work or leaving work. In the
availability of scientific and objective bases and standards in
the system data, this helps to select the employees according
to those scientific bases and criteria to select the appropriate
personnel to fill the vacancies.
6. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Designing easy website for the Arab Potash Company, so
that if the employee wants to apply they can use the electronic
form and this give the company opportunity to gain qualified
people
2. Developing comprehensive strategies for the performance
of human resources in the Arab Potash Company in line with
the improvement of policies and procedures related to the
process of selection and recruitment of qualified and high
skills that contribute to the progress and development of the
company.
3. Holding lectures and distribution of awareness leaflets to
the employees about the importance of such systems in the
company. As these Systems will lead to the development of
the performance of the employees in the company which will
reflect on the performance of the company as a whole and
achieve its objectives.
4. Providing the basic infrastructure of the hardware,
equipment and software used in human resources information
systems. There is a need for continuous updating software and
maintaining of equipment to reduce the occurrence of
potential errors which may lead to disruption of the work.
5. The researcher recommends the need for further studies on
HRIS and their impact on improving business activities and
activities.
