<pre><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">ABOUT AIS TRANSACTIONS ON HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION (THCI)<o:p></o:p></span></b></pre>
<p class="MsoNormal">THCI is a high-quality peer-reviewed international scholarly journal on Human-Computer Interaction. It is published by AIS (<a href="http://home.aisnet.org/">http://home.aisnet.org/</a>) and sponsored by AIS SIGHCI (<a href="http://sighci.org/">http://sighci.org/</a>).
As an AIS journal, THCI is oriented to the Information Systems community, emphasizing applications in business, managerial, organizational, and cultural contexts. However, it is open to all related communities that share intellectual interests in HCI phenomena
and issues. The editorial objective is to enhance and communicate knowledge about the interplay among humans, information, technologies, and tasks in order to guide the development and use of human-centered Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
and services for individuals, groups, organizations, and communities.<o:p></o:p></p>

<pre><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">SPECIAL ISSUE OBJECTIVE</span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Although human resources (HR) was one of the earliest functional areas automated through technology, it has often lagged behind many other areas in the use of technology. However, within the last 10 years, the use of technology and research focusing on the use of technology to support human resources has exploded, and a new field of human resource information systems (HRIS) has emerged. An HRIS is used to “acquire, store, manipulate, analyze, retrieve, and distribute information regarding an organization’s human resources” (Kavanagh, Thite, & Johnson, 2015, p. 17). Systems which started out as simple, mainframe systems automating payroll have now transformed into web-enabled, cloud-based, systems deployed across mobile applications that touch all areas of HR including recruitment, selection, training, and compensation (Stone, Deadrick, Lukaszewski, & Johnson, in press). The use of these new applications is propelling HR in new directions, and are causing organizations to rethink the interface of technology and human resources. <o:p></o:p></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></pre>
<pre><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Advances in interface design and the move of HR functionality to mobile devices mean that the devices and platforms used to support human resources are quickly evolving. For this reason, research is needed that focuses on the intersection of technology and HR. Specifically of interest in this special issue are research questions that focus on the interface between the user and the technology (whether it be an employee, an HR manager, or a manager making decisions about his or her employees). </span><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Papers submitted to this special issue can be theoretical, or they can be empirical studies focusing on the human-computer interface. In addition, technical design papers on more effective interface designs or interaction methods in the context of HR are also welcome. It merits noting that theoretical papers must include propositions or hypotheses to guide future research. <o:p></o:p></span></pre>
