Abstract

The study examined the Human Resource Information System’s features (training information systems, performance appraisal information systems, employment ‎information systems, incentive information ‎systems, HRIS information systems) in the Ministry of Transport in the Gaza ‎Strip. It measured their ‎effects on ‎knowledge management dimensions (knowledge generation, knowledge storage, ‎knowledge ‎dissemination, knowledge application). The researchers used the descriptive-analytical method. The study ‎population consisted of all employees in supervisory positions in the Ministry of Transport. The ‎questionnaire was used to collect the required data. The number of respondents was 62 ‎respondents with a recovery rate (82.3%). Data was analyzed using SPSS statistical program. The study ‎showed that there is a statistically significant relationship between the application level of human ‎resources information systems and knowledge management application in the Ministry of Transport. In ‎addition, the application level of human resources information systems impacts the application level of ‎knowledge management at a rate of (%83.40). ‎
