Abstract: This paper examines the question whether major design characteristics of current human resource information systems (HRIS) actually contribute to HRIS success. To do so, we initially identify: a) functional enrichment with 'managerial' functions; b) functional integration of HRIS into general management information systems (MIS); c) systematic web-enablement of HRIS as three major design innovations of HRIS of recent years. We discuss why these design characteristics contribute to HRIS success and derive a conceptual model with corresponding hypotheses. Subsequently, we employ an international large-scale survey which combines logistic regression and neural network analysis to test these hypotheses. Our results draw quite a positive picture of these design innovations, since in particular the move towards managerial functions and the web-enablement contribute to HRIS success, while there are mixed findings concerning the integration of HRIS with general MIS.
