Human Resource Information Systems: A Review in the Adoption of Open Source

The paper highlights the use and importance of an Open Source Software for Human Resource Information Systems. Open source software development projects are Internet-based communities of software developers who voluntarily collaborate to develop software that they or their workplace may require. They present a challenging, novel and successful alternative to conventional models and also offer opportunities for a view into their detailed inner workings. The project operates by way of detailed and time-stamped logs of most interactions among community members and of project outputs are generated in an automatic fashion. This makes open source software projects important as research sites for many types of studies. The authors have also drawn up a mind map of Open Source Model for Human Resource Information Systems and a Model of Adoption of an Open Source Human Resource Information System. It further discusses various open source software in the area on Human Resources and the important aspect of open source HRIS and cloud hosting with SMEs.
