It is concerned with looking at the role of HRIS as a medium for HR managers for performing their job roles more professionally or perhaps as a means for reducing their status after years of hard-earned recognition.This research will investigate whether,and to what extent HRIS are enabling HR managers to enhance their job roles to attain increased professional status.It will evaluate whether HRIS are enabling current HR managers to achieve increased recognition and professionalism.This will be examined by looking at the nature of HRIS and the nature of HR managers ' job roles (traditional and new emerging ones)followed by a focus on the impact of HRIS on HR managers ' job roles. 3 WORKING PAPER SERIES
