concluded that the potential advantages of HRIS are faster information processing, greater information accuracy, improved planning and program development, and enhanced employee communications. All of these benefits are types of administrative efficiency. One study even goes as far as to suggest that there is evidence that HRIS can improve shareholder value (Brown, 2002). Basically, the impact of technology in HRM falls into two main areas—the impact on the efficiency of the delivery of HR processes and the impact on the role of the HR function itself. Moreover, common benefits of HRIS frequently cited in studies include improved accuracy, the provision of timely and quick access to information, and the savings of personnel costs (Tetz, 1973; Wille and Hammond, 1981). On the other hand, it proves very important in the timeliness of HRIS in terms of operating, controlling, and planning activities in HR (Lederer, 1984). Furthermore, Broderick and Boudreau (1992) examine how HRIS can contribute to cost reductions, quality/customer satisfaction, and innovation. The following table shows the benefits of IT-enabled HRM according to the viewpoints of different authors:
