Data was collected from the participants using online questionnaires and analyzed in SPSS using descriptive, correlation, and regression techniques. From the analysis, the study found positive correlations between employee performance and the various effects of the Human Resource Information system: E-training (r =.403, p <.001), E-recruitment (r =.658, p<.001), E-payroll (r =.118, p =.308) and E-performance management (r =.221 p =.054). Moreover, a regression analysis conducted further revealed that employee performance was positively determined by the effects of the Human Resource Information system (E-recruitment (p <.001), E-training (p =.002), E-payroll (p =.433), and E-performance management (p =.012)).
