QUESTION 1 (50) Read the scenario below and answer the questions that follow. With the remarkable growth of Internet along with advanced information communication and networking technologies, the Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) has already been introduced in developed nations. HRIS has become an essential component in the banking and financial sector (Hendrickson, 2003). HRIS has been defined by DeSanctis (1986) as a Systematic process for retrieving, maintaining, storing, validating and collecting the data that is required by the organization about the organization unit, personnel activities and human resources. It is a collection of databases that integrate together to form a vast record of all employee issues that exist within a company. HRIS is considered as the combination of the software, database, and hardware that are capable of making the data store of the organization different departments and have the ability to pick up the necessary information as per the demand of the human resource department (Broderick & Boudreau, 1991). HRIS initiatives have been worldly accepted as the best chance for improvement in any organization as well as in the banking and financial sector to accommodate the increasing demand and supply of fundamental services or banking services in both the developed and developing countries (Ahmer, 2013). Developed nations have already invested and continue to invest a considerable amount of resources in continuing the implementation of HRIS to improve the efficiency of banking and financial services (Chau, 1996). Despite the possible benefits of HRIS, its adoption remains a big challenge in developing countries (Ginzberg, 1981), especially in Bangladesh. Most of the studies carried out over the years had been conducted focusing primarily on developed nations (Karakanian, 2000). This research is an attempt to fill the gap by analyzing adoption issues of HRIS in the context of Bangladesh from banking and financial organization perspectives. 3.1. Critically evaluate the four research philosophies/paradigms available to researchers. 3.2. Outline the four key attributes of interviews as a data collection technique. 3.3. Outline the three related elements in the analysis of qualitative data. 3.4. Why are open ended questions predominately used in qualitative research? (16) (4) (3) (2)
