A coherent framework for the development of a human resource decision support system

Abstract

Considering the strategic role of human resources and the inadequacy of human resource information systems to provide information for efficient decision making, this paper proposes a framework for the design and development of a human resource decision support system. The study explores the main components that should comprise an integrated human resource management system, highlighting their relationships, the decision tools that can be put into practice and the levels of analysis that must be conducted. Concluding, future steps towards the full scale decision support system are discussed.
