This study is an attempt to assess the effectiveness of using HRMS in human resources directorate at the Ministry of Interior in terms of availability, integration, ease of use, and time saving. Descriptive approach was applied in this research. In order to collect primarily data, a self-completed questionnaire was designed and distributed and received 100 in-house respondents. The participants are from the human resources directorate forming a mixture of managers, officers, policemen, and civilian employees. For descriptive statistics, SPSS was applied.
Based in the findings of this study, the conclusions are as follows: The HRMS is effective and can improve the Ministry’s employees’ performance and the Ministry has benefited greatly from it in terms of availability, integration, ease of use, and time saving. However, it needs further technical improvements, information-related enhancements, teamwork communication, and end-of-service delivery to customers.
Key Words: Availability, Integration, Ease of Use, and Time Saving.

- Assessment of the correlation between system usability and organizational effectiveness.
- Identification of areas for technical improvement and system enhancements.
Excerpt from the Book
Introduction
Over the last twenty years, the field of information technology has dominated many fields. As technology contributed and automated the systems in facilitating the work and speeding up its procedures. IT is the lifeblood of life because it provides a secure and easy environment for communication, data preservation and use. This accelerated technological development and the increasing need for speed of performance and achievement in addition to the desire of customers to obtain multiple services accurately and without error, with the failure of traditional tools to respond to those desires led to the need to review the systems and methods used. Information technology is a broad term meaning all the technologies used to store, process, distribute or create data and information.
Technology and the world of informatics to benefit from it as much as possible, because of its successful role in all aspects of life, which contributed to changing many methods to the best, providing the required features of speed performance, reducing costs, improving the quality of work, and getting accurate and accurate outputs. These advantages provide a lot for the organization as a whole, in achieving the desired objectives for survival, growth and expansion in the delivery of various services.
