Question 1

MSS systems have been shown to increase the workload of HR Generalists because they are spending more time planning annual compensation increases,viewing employee histories,and initiating requests for positions.

Accepted Answer

MSS (Manager Self-Service) systems are designed to reduce the workload of HR Generalists by allowing managers to handle many tasks such as planning compensation, viewing employee histories, and initiating position requests directly, thereby reducing the need for HR to intervene in these processes.

Question 2

Which system allows managers to access a range of information not only about themselves but also about the employees who report to them?
A) ESS
B) MSS
C) The internet
D) HRIS
E) MIS

Accepted Answer

MSS, or Manager Self-Service, allows managers to access a range of information not only about themselves but also about the employees who report to them. ESS, or Employee Self-Service, is focused on providing employees access to personal information such as pay stubs and benefits. The internet and MIS (Management Information System) are broader terms that encompass many different types of systems and do not specifically address the question. HRIS (Human Resource Information System) may provide some employee information, but it is not limited to managers and may not provide the same level of access as MSS.
