The Impact of HRMIS on Teacher Job Satisfaction: A Study of Public School Teachers in Punjab, Pakistan

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS) on teacher job satisfaction (TJS) in public schools in Punjab, Pakistan, with a focus on gender-based differences across five key factors: work environment, workload and stress, autonomy and empowerment, collegial relationships, and teacher performance. HRMIS automates administrative tasks, potentially improving teachers' work environment and performance. Despite its widespread use, its impact on TJS has not been explored. The study used a quantitative descriptive survey design, and data were collected from 1016 teachers working at primary, elementary, and secondary schools in Punjab. Data were analyzed through descriptive statistics and an independent sample t-test to examine gender differences in job satisfaction. Results show that HRMIS positively influences TJS, particularly in collegial relationships and teacher performance, but workload and stress among female teachers remain significant concerns. However, workload and stress scored relatively lower, with female teachers reporting significantly higher stress than male teachers. The study recommends gender sensitive policies and improvement in HRMIS application to reduce workload and stress and enhance teacher satisfaction.
