Abstract

This study examined to investigate the effect of human resource technology on implementation of human resource practices in Tanzania public sector. Specifically, the study aimed to assess the effect of recruitment management systems, performance management systems and human resource information systems on implementation of human resource practice in the public sector. Using structured questionnaire, the data were collected from a sample of 184 individuals selected from employees of the three councils of Songea district working in human resource and administration departments. The collected data were analysed by the use of descriptive statistics and multiple regression with the help of SPSS software, version 23. The study found that all three categories of technological systems used in this study have a positive and significant effect on performance of human resource practices in the researched public sector organisations. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the integration of human resource technology in human resource management has fundamentally transformed the implementation of human resource practices within the Tanzania public sector by streamlining processes such recruitment, performance management, data accuracy, effective decision-making, better service delivery, as well as allowing for more strategic alignment of human resources with organizational goals. Thus, the study recommends that the central government and the management of public organisations should provide continuous support in terms of resources, trainings and policy improvement to ensure that the technological systems implemented in the public sector are functional and effective, as well as implementing strict and robust data security measures, given the sensitive nature of employee information managed by the technological systems. Keywords: Human resource technology, Human resource practices, Public sector.
