dc.description.abstractThis research unraveled the Challenges in the Utilization of Information Retrieval Systems (IRS) for Human Resource (HR) functions at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Headquarters, Abuja. One research question guided the study as what are the Challenges faced by Staff of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Headquarters, Abuja when Utilizing Information Retrieval Systems for HR Functions? The study adopted the Quantitative Research Methodology with descriptive survey as the design. The Population of the study comprised 47 staff cutting across the junior, senior and management cadres. The questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. The findings identified challenges in the utilization of information retrieval systems for human resource functions as poor integration with other systems, obsolete technology, and data migration problems. Resistance to change and low levels of digital literacy were brought forward as humanrelated issues. Financing, weak policy frameworks, poor power supply, and unstable Internet supply are the constraints on the organisational and physical environment. In conclusion, the study on the Challenges in the Utilization of Information Retrieval Systems (IRS) for Human Resource (HR) Functions at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Headquarters, Abuja, has highlighted that while the adoption of technology is critical for modern administrative efficiency, significant hurdles remain. The findings reveal that the effective deployment of IRS within the NYSC is largely hampered by Technical Challenges, Human-Related Challenges, Organizational Barriers and Environmental Challenges Affecting IRS Use. It was recommended that there should be training of staff to deal with the issue of technophobia, budgetary allocations to secure advance technology, provision of Internet and constant supply of power amongst others.
