Organizations are increasingly moving from traditional paper files to digital filing systems to gain a competitive edge and improve access to human resources and HR-related information. This digitalization process not only makes data more accessible but also enhances its utilization for HR decision-making. As a result, HR-related information becomes more comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date. This study specifically investigates the impact of technological factors on the effectiveness of human resource information systems (HRIS) within local government authorities (LGAs) in Tanzania. The research utilized a combination of descriptive and inferential statistics, including ordered logistic regression analysis, to examine the impact of technological characteristics on the effectiveness of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS). The findings revealed that factors such as compatibility, complexity, usefulness, and reliability play a crucial role in determining the timeliness, comprehensiveness, and accuracy of data retrieval within HRIS. The study offers valuable insights for improving human resource management practices in LGAs) through the adoption of computerized HRIS.The discussed approach enhances decision-making and improves access to information, contributing to the achievement of organizational goals.
