Impact of Computerized Payroll Systems on Employee Productivity: A Case Study of Babcock University Staff School
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
This paper examines the impact of computerized payroll systems on employee productivity, focusing on Babcock University Staff School. Drawing upon historical context, contemporary typologies, and challenges in adoption, it explores the relationship between these systems and productivity, satisfaction, and motivation. Using a cross-sectional survey design and statistical analysis, the study reveals a significant positive correlation between computerized payroll systems and employee outcomes. Recommendations include investing in training, considering organizational context, and prioritizing continuous improvement. Future research should explore long-term effects, user experience, organizational culture, emerging technologies, and comparative studies on different payroll systems.
