Abstract

This study investigates the factors affecting the low adoption of the Human Resource Management Information System 2.0 (HRMIS 2.0) among junior officers that fall into grades 41 - 44 working in Putrajaya. Although it has been used for more than ten years now, the adoption rate is still low. Therefore, this research adopts a quantitative research method that utilizes Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to understand the issue. The results show that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, IT infrastructure and individual experience with computers have significant impact. Thus, this research serves to inform public sectors by considering the identified factors.
