DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMPUTER BASED HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM (A CASE STUDY OF NITEL PLC ENUGU). A RESEARCH PROJECT MATERIAL ON COMPUTER SCIENCE
ABSTRACT
The current and future well-being of an organization depends mostly on the activities and management of its human resources element. All activities towards improved productivity such as profit, organization efficiency and effectiveness can only be made possible by the manner and method in which the human resources are managed. Human resources management therefore occupy a critical position in the area of facilitating positive changes towards effective performance.
Because of this, there is need to improve some areas of operations of human resources department which require improvement or replacement.
This initiated the project topic “computer based human resources management information system”. This project focuses on computerization of the human resources department, which aim reducing, time constraints, job bark logs and improving inadequate records maintenance in the system. The existing system will be studied and analyzed. Problem areas, identified and solutions proffered. A computer model will be developed to take care of the problem areas that require computerization and improvement, strategies preferred in areas that require appraisal.
This will go along way to help the human resources management to meet up with the challenges posed by the advancement of information technology in the country and around the globe.
CHAPTER ONE

Human resources management at least in a primitive form has existed since the down of group of effort certain human resources functions even though informal in nature were performed whenever people come together for a common purpose.
