in the implementation of human resource management information systems.
Consequently, the researcher undertook a cross sectional census survey which was
appropriate because of the investigations of organizations at the same point in time. The
population of this study consisted of all state corporations in Kenya and primary data was
collected using of a semi-structured questionnaire while secondary data was collected
from individual state corporation’s strategic plans, human resource management
information systems operational plans and reports. The respondents were heads of human
resource function in the State Corporations and questionnaires were administered through
electronic mail. Prior coding and descriptive statistics were utilized in analyzing the data
collected.
Research findings indicated that majority of the responding human resource managers
ranked Information Communication Technology (ICT) adoption and use as the major
source of challenge in the implementation of Human Resource Management Information
Systems in Kenyan state corporations. Moreover, Kenyan state corporations were
effectively facilitated for by providing competent and skilled staff, approving adequate
funds, effective time management and information technology support. However, the
adoption and use if ICT remains a major challenge in the implementation of Human
Resource Management Information Systems in Kenyan state corporations. Based on the
