Project Management tools; they support project manager’s project plans, resource assignments, creating timetable, and the execution of the project within the defined time and budget.

Compliance risks involves the legal accountability related to employee rights. When implementing human resource information system, data security and data privacy must be preserved.

Typically, implementation of HRIS follows a three step process: adoption phase, implementation phase, institutionalization phase. Adoption phase: Whether performing a routine administrative task or making fairly high-level decisions governing the future directions of a business, the HRIS is designed in an integrated fashion to provide the HR professional with easy access to all the information needed to support decision making. A need analysis helps the business decide on what the system should be capable of doing and what the technical specifications will be. It also helps the business develop an information policy about how the information should be managed with respect to storage and access.

Information systems cause varying levels of changes in businesses. Some of the changes provided by information systems are: automation of processes, efficiency increase in standard-performance works, analysis, simplification and new design of business processes.

Systems must have one or more goals. However, a whole with one component cannot be termed as system. Therefore, a system must have at least two interactive components.

Human resource programs are in between human resource goals and human resource information system. The programs prepared according to human resource goals take the support of human resource information system in order to reach the human goals. It is critical to bear in mind that effectiveness of HRIS depends on both IT knowledge and HR knowledge equally. The lack of cooperation between HR and IT professionals can be a system hazard.

All the options given are correct.

Disadvantages: • In general, the number of respondents is low. • It is not guaranteed that everyone answers all of the questions. • Surveys are not flexible. Analyst cannot receive voluntary information from the people or cannot rewrite the misinterpreted questions.

Transaction Processing Systems record and store any kind of data regarding all operations performed to carry out daily activities in businesses. The main goal of transaction processing systems is to answer daily questions and to monitor business operations. The questions such as “How much money left in the cash in the evening? How much is the bank due tomorrow? Are there sufficient stocks to meet the order?” are answered thanks to information produced by this kind of information systems. So, managers will be able to follow the developments within the enterprise and the relationship of the business with its environment.

The Agile Model uses an increasing approach to determine, design, develop, and deploy system requirements. When the system requirements change in general during the development process, the Agile Model is one of the most appropriate approaches. In the Agile Model, a working software is given to the customer quickly and new and changing requirements are included in the advanced iterations. The aim here is to reduce the long-time documentation and give all the effort to system development.

Actual values of the prefixes are given in the following table.

The table is already sorted in increasing order. Thus, the correct order is 2³⁰ < 2⁴⁰ < 2⁵⁰ < 2⁶⁰ à giga < tera < peta < exa.

Easier Decision Making: Information systems make use of real time data allowing managers to make better decisions in short time.

The compensation module of HRIS is basically used to monitor compensation costs, policies, programs, as well as to ensure legal compliance, to develop salary structures, and to support future compensation decisions. Furthermore, it enables the business to make comparisons among jobs and competitors. Thus, the compensation module of HRIS can provide useful information for maintaining internal and external pay equity. Data elements included in this module are salary, bonus, employee type, data of hours worked, deductions and tax status.

The basic examples to hardware are computers, mobile phones, hand terminals, storage devices, input devices, output devices and video monitors. Browser and word processors are examples to software.

The input devices, such as mouse and keyboard, can send data to a computer system but cannot such as monitors and printers receive data from a computer, usually for the purposes of displaying. In this perspective, webcam, barcode reader, microphone, scanners, and sensors (e.g. heat or humidity) are the examples of input devices.

Operational Management: This level of management consists the lower level managers who are responsible of the execution of daily routines and business processes.

To set up and function properly, HRIS has to combine both HR knowledge and IT knowledge. The lack of cooperation between HR and IT professionals can be a system hazard.

The modules of HRIS can be listed as HR planning and analysis; staffing; compensation and benefits; performance management and training; and development respectively.

The properties of a system can be listed as follows:

• Every system has a specific purpose. The purpose underlines the fact that system has at least one function. ?
• System has more than one component (part, element) ?
• There is a relationship and interaction between the components forming the system
• Components form a whole. Here, whole is not used in the meaning of “monolith” or “uniform” but in the meaning of “formation” which fulfills a specific function with the help of the components. ?

Therefore, the 3^rd and the 4^th items are unacceptable.
