    Assessing the Influence of Perceived Usefulness and Ease of Use of HRIS on Employee Attitude and Turnover Intention: An Empirical Investigation in a Sri Lankan Tiles Manufacturing Enterprise
    (Department of Human Resource Management, Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce, University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Sri Lanka., 2023) Opatha , P. J.; Dooradarshani, N.
    This research delves into an exploration of employees' perceived beliefs and attitudes towards Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) to gain deeper insights into its influence on employee turnover intention. The study constructs a conceptual framework primarily drawing from the Technology Acceptance Model and Reasoned Action Theory, and subsequently puts it to the test. Data was gathered from a tile manufacturing company situated in Sri Lanka. The primary objective of this study was to assess whether employees' beliefs and attitudes regarding HRIS significantly affect their turnover intention. To achieve this, we considered perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as independent variables, with turnover intention serving as the dependent variable. Additionally, we examined employees' attitude towards HRIS, considering it as a mediator between the independent variables and the dependent variable. Our sample comprised 148 respondents selected from the aforementioned tile manufacturing company. Our analysis aimed to uncover whether the implementation of HRIS would impact employees' attitudes and subsequently their intention to leave the organization, specifically within ABC Tiles PLC. The results of our study demonstrate that both the perceived usefulness and ease of use of HRIS exert a significant influence on employee turnover intention. Furthermore, we concluded that employees' attitude towards HRIS plays a mediating role between perceived usefulness and turnover intention. These findings provide valuable insights for top management and system administrators, shedding light on the prevailing beliefs concerning HRIS within the company. Such insights can help identify perspectives that either enhance or hinder individual and organizational performance.

    “Adapting to thrive”: SME entrepreneurial leadership for corporate sustainability—A case from Sri Lanka
    (Journal of the International Council for Small Business, 2025) Darshani, R. K. N. D.; Surangi, H. A. K. N. S.
    This study explores how entrepreneurial leadership shapes corporate sustainability practices in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within resource-constrained environments in developing economies. Adopting a qualitative single-case study design grounded in social constructivism, the research draws on data collected through six in-depth interviews, supplemented by nonparticipant observations and internal document analysis. Findings show that SME leaders blend transactional and ambidextrous–exploitative leadership styles to balance economic, social, and environmental goals. Rather than relying on resource-intensive innovation, leaders adopt cost-efficient, compliance-aligned strategies grounded in moral and relational obligations. This study expands entrepreneurial leadership theory by showing how hybrid leadership serves as a practical response to sustainability challenges in developing economies. It also provides useful guidance for aligning sustainability with both operational needs and institutional expectations.
