    Attitude towards job application through E-recruitment system the Tanzania Public Sector
    (University of Dar es Salaam, 2009) Baraka, Elieza
    Due to rapid changes which are occurring in the information technology sector globally, the way recruitment practice is being carried out is also changing. I have set out in this dissertation to identify the attitude toward job applications through electronic recruitment (e-recruitment) system in the Tanzania public sector due to the existing application gap in developing countries and developed countries. The research focused into addressing the said gap mainly with objective of assessing the opinions of the personnel from the public sectors as far as the e-recruitment is concerning. The research was based on questionnaire survey where by data were gathered through self-administered questionnaires responded by sampled of 49 personnel from public sectors. The study identified a number of findings which indicates that respondents were in favors of job applications through e-recruitment system because of its advantages compared to the conventional method through e-recruitment application level is still very low. Furthermore, a number of challenges were given out such as inadequate infrastructure, applicants’ computer skills, less management commitments which hinder adoption and application of e-recruitment practices. It is recommended to policy makers to facilitate infrastructure development and be a role model in e- recruitment application. On the other hand practitioners have to adopt e-recruitment strategical with aiming to attain the associative advantages out from e-recruitment systems.
