| Summary: | Recruitment is one of the important aspects of Human Resource Management (HRM)
practices. It is the process of obtaining or acquiring suitable candidates for an organisation.
The purpose of this study was to examine the moderating role of user attitude (UAT) on the
relationship between perceived ease of use (PEOU), perceived usefulness (PU), facilitating
condition (FC), and e-recruitment adoption (ERA) in Nigerian civil service. Even though
the relationships have generated significant scholarly interest, few studies have been
conducted on e-recruitment adoption among the Nigerian civil service. Using a crosssectional
survey design, 216 questionnaires were distributed to 112 ministries and local
government in North Western Nigeria. The study adopted a proportionate stratified random
sampling; data were selected from different strata. A total of 185 questionnaires were
returned, giving a response rate of 85.6 percent. SmartPLS 2.0 was employed to analyse the
data. The findings revealed that PEOU, PU, and FC had a direct significant relationship
with the adoption of e-recruitment in Nigeria civil services. Of the moderating
relationships, UAT was found to moderate those between PU, FC, and ERA but exerted no
moderating effect on the relationship between PEOU and ERA. The study provides
important insight to HRM practitioners, policymakers, and researchers to further
understand the importance of PEOU, PU, and FC in the adoption of e-recruitment system.
The study increases the existing literature by integrating some external constructs in
Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Finally, the limitations, conclusions as well as the
direction for future research are provided and discussed. |
