Abstract:
In the modern business environment, technology plays a crucial role in enhancing organizational
efficiency and employee engagement. Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) have emerged as essential
tools for streamlining HR functions, ensuring transparency, and improving decision-making. This study examines
the impact of HRIS practices on employee engagement among executive-level employees in a leading Sri Lankan
finance company. The HRIS practices explored include time and attendance tracking, performance management,
absence management, and benefits management. A quantitative research approach was employed, gathering data
from 80 executive-level employees through a structured questionnaire. The findings indicate that all HRIS
practices positively influence employee engagement, with performance management demonstrating the strongest
impact. Time and attendance tracking enhances fairness and trust, performance management fosters motivation
through continuous feedback, absence management promotes work-life balance, and benefits management
increases job satisfaction and organizational commitment. These insights highlight the strategic role of HRIS in
fostering employee engagement and provide valuable recommendations for HR professionals to optimize HRIS
implementation in the financial sector.
