DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF HUMAN RESOURCES DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

1.2 Statement of Problem

Human resource management involves a lot of paper work and the consequence of this is that it is difficult to manage human resource information. There are different aspects of human resources and management and the manual system of recording human resource information makes it difficult to integrate and get reports pertaining to human resource. The flat file organization occupies unnecessary office space in addition to making information retrieval difficult and time consuming. It is in view of these challenges that this study is carried out to develop a human resource database management system that will facilitate the capturing and easy retrieval of human resources information reports.

1.3 Aim and Objectives of the Study

The aim of the study is to design and implement a human resource database management system that will eliminate the problem of instantly getting human resource information when needed with minimum human effort. The following are the objectives of the study:

• To implement a functional human resource database management system
• To integrate the vital components of human resource management into a single software system.
• To develop a human resource management system that will present reports pertaining to any employee or group of employees
• To develop a system that can be used to update human resource information when needed.

1.4 Scope of the Study

This study covers the design and implementation of human resource database management system using Exxon Mobil, Eket as a case study.

1.5 Significance of the Study

The significance of the study is that it will provide an integrated system to manage human resources information, eliminate flat file organization, maintain an electronic database, facilitate the presentation of human resource information reports and generally organize the operations of human resources management to meet the basic human resource management information need of the organization.
