Abstract:
This study explores the growing interest in Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) within Higher Education
Institutions (HEIs). A structured review following PRISMA 2020 guidelines analyzed 21 journal articles to understand the scope,
methodologies, and research gaps in HRIS literature for HEIs. The objectives, frameworks, and methods, OFM framework guided
the scoping analysis of objectives, frameworks, and methods, while the context, process, and content, CPC framework analyzed
methodologies for context, process, and content. The review identified common objectives for HRIS in HEIs, including enhancing HR
processes, communication, and decision-making, ultimately leading to improved performance and competitiveness. Insights were
gained into the challenges and benefits of HR transformation through HRIS, emphasizing the need for a robust and interconnected HR
function to address talent management and unique university hurdles. Additionally, the review highlighted the positive impact of HRIS
on administrative efficiency and performance within public universities. However, research gaps were identified. These included
limited empirical evidence, a narrow focus on specific HRIS functions, a lack of attention to contextual factors influencing HRIS
adoption, and a scarcity of comparative and longitudinal studies. In summary, the findings underscore the importance of further research
to address identified gaps and enhance the understanding of HRIS in the context of HEIS.
