The need for Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in large and complex organizations is necessitated by a huge number of employees with diverse professional skills assigned to various organizations’ units that require smart management.

Specifically, database management and attendance management have significant and positive effects; the study therefore recommended that Seplat Energy should ensure that it directs resources towards database management and attendance management in order to maximize the performance of employees in the organization.
