Kotler (2006) in a simpler manner defines Management Information System
(MIS) “as a planned system of the collecting, processing, storing and
dissemination of data in the form of information needed to carry out the
functions of management. In a way it is a documented report of the
activities that were planned and executedâ€. In other words, Management
Information System (MIS) is an integrated user machine system for
providing information to support the operation of management analysis
and decision making function, which utilizes computer hardware’s and
software’s as well as manual application for its procedures.
Despite the utilization of Management Information System (MIS) in its
various forms there still seems to be some problems that infringe on the
effectiveness of decision-making by managers and the productivity of
employees in an organization. This includes issues bordering on
monitoring the system perhaps as a result of limited numbers of
departmental managers and supervisors or their exit and also
non-qualitative factors like morale of workers, attitudes of workers to
work as well as the lack of flexibility of Management Information System
(MIS) to update itself, thus calling for an investigation to provide
needed balance Akinola (2003). Management Information System (MIS) seeks
to know the motive for work and to find ways by which their realization
can be helped and encouraged. This service has a dynamic aspect of
management Saogy (1989).
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Management Information System (MIS) helps management in effective
planning, organizing and controlling its workforce to achieve desired
results. It therefore, means that the ineffective utilization of
Management Information System (MIS) can result in low and poor quality
production by workers. Also implies that Management Information System
(MIS) is a necessity for successful management which could adversely
affect the productivity of workers if not properly managed.
Designing and implementing an effective information system for human
resource management becomes a challenge to most government organizations
and ministries. The cost and management of these systems at times
becomes constraints in the achievement of organizational goals.
