\nAbstract: The increasing adoption of Human Resource Information Systems
\n(HRIS) in organizations has significantly transformed HR functions worldwide.
\nAlthoughHRIS research has been extensively conducted in developed
\ncountries,studies in developing economies remain limited and mostly unexplored.
\nThis review paper aims to identify the key trends, gaps, and future research
\ndirections by critically analyzing thepublished literatureon HRIS particularly in
\ndeveloping countries. Following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study
\nidentified and analyzed 90 peer-reviewed studies published between 2007 and
\n2025 from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The bibliometric analysis
\nhighlights an upward trend in HRIS research, with authors and sources
\ndatabases. Thematic synthesis uncovers four primary research domains, first,
\nHRIS adoption factors and challenges, second, HRIS impact on organizational
\nefficiency, third, HRIS and employee behavioral predisposition, and fourth, HRIS
\nimproves HR functions. Moreover, HRISResearch in developing countries has
\nmostly relied on cross-sectional surveys. Therefore, the review underscores the
\nneed for longitudinal and comparative studies, multi-level analyses, and
\nexploration of the strategic roles of HRIS. Accordingly, This study contributes to
\nthe academic discourse by providing a structured synthesis of HRIS literature in
\ndeveloping countries and proposing a future research agenda to address existing
\nknowledge gaps.
\nKeywords: Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), developing countries,
\nHR technology, adoption challenges, organizational efficiency, bibliometric
