The study determined the moderating role of career development practices on the relationship between open communication and organizational citizenship behaviour. The study was anchored on the social exchange theory. The study employed explanatory research design ingrained with the pragmatism philosophy. The target population of the study comprised of 702 employees drawn from Kenya Forest Service North Rift Conservancy. Multi stage sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 248 respondents. The primary data for the study was collected using closed ended questionnaires and semi-structured interview schedule. Data was analyzed quantitatively using descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Regression, Correlation and ANOVA) while qualitative data was analyzed using thematic analysis. The hypothesis was tested using multiple regression model and hierarchical regression for moderation. Findings of hierarchical regression showed that career development practices moderate the relationship between open communication and OCB (β=.24, p<0.05, R 2 ∆=.01). This implies that firms with career development practices have higher probability of improving OCB with open communication. It therefore calls for formulation and promotion of open communication and its effective implementation. Moreover, in order for open communication to enhance OCB, organization needs to implement career development practices.
Human resource information system is a database system that has been developed to provide the necessary assistance to HR in terms of decision making and reporting of information. It is basically one of the key elements that is critical in the overall management information system (MIS) of an organization. It is an IT-enabled HR service available to the HR managers for data analysis and decision making. HRIS provides the necessary support to the HR managers in making a quality decision by ensuring that there is adequate and timely relevant information that is available. The scope is so wide that it can provide information about every aspect of an employee, starting with his recruitment and ending with his retirement. As such, HRIS facilitates the use of computer technology to streamline HR operations, cut costs and eventually enhance the effectiveness of human resource management. As technology evolves, so does its impact on strategic human resource planning. Human resource information systems are electronic systems that compile information in databases to be easily accessed and analyzed. Some information systems allow automation of processes, such as payroll tax calculations, while others streamline processes by minimizing the need for manual data entry and paper records, thus increasing accuracy and efficiencyDOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijssm.v2i2.122898 Int.
