Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to assist the Malaysian electronics companies in reducing the non-value added practices and in return, will minimize the cost and improves productivity with the use of the fingerprint system. Methodology: This study uses a quantitative research approach and data were sampled from 137 front-line employees using simple random sampling technique. Result: The empirical findings of the study confirm that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use significantly affect the intention to use the fingerprint system. However, there was not enough evidence that relative advantage has any effect on the intention to use the system.  Implications: The study results affirmed that business organizations, especially electronic companies should transform their use of conventional attendance system to fingerprint system in improving efficiencies and effectiveness within the human resource practices.
