Abstract:
Human resource is a critical factor in the attainment of organizational goals. This is because all the organizational activities are initiated and determined by the persons who make up that institution; as plants, offices, computers, automated equipment and all else that a modern firm uses are unproductive except for human effort and direction. The special abilities, skill and knowledge needed to turn thing around in any organization for good are embedded in human beings and to get things done well in the organization, those latent skills, talents, knowledge, skills abilities and capabilities are harnessed through a process called human resources management. The use of tools and technology has been argued to have helped the harnessing of the potentials of the persons in an organization. However, these abilities and capabilities of these persons to contribute significantly to the attainment of organizational goals have contemporarily, been hindered and hampered by some issues that are solvable by information communication technology (ICT). ICT has been said to have a significant relationship with human resources management. This paper examined the impact of Information and Communication Technology on Human Resources Management in the Nigeria University System (2010-2021). Two specific objectives guided the study. The theoretical framework employed is the system's theory of David Easton (1954). Ex-post-facto research design was adopted. The paper found out that: Inadequate ICT infrastructure has affected Human Resource Management in the Nigeria University system. More so, the poor application of ICT has affected Human Resource Management in the Nigeria University system. And based on the findings, the study recommended among others that: The Public Universities' Management should employ an enthusiastic approach toward the adoption and proper application of ICT in the University system. Again, since lack of up-to-date infrastructures, unstable power supply and Lack of financial resources are the major problems of ICT adoption in Human Resource management and therefore should be enhanced.
