In the current Information Age the success of any department within an organization world over is\r\ncentered on the extent to which it is able to adopt and adapt to new changes in Information\r\ntechnology (IT). Human Resource Function is one of the key departments but has been lagging\r\nbehind in adoption of this Technology. This study aimed at understanding the reason for this sorry\r\nstate of affair by investigating the extent to which IT policy Framework, IT Implementation, IT\r\nLiteracy and IT Infrastructure determine the adoption of IT in the Human Resource function in\r\nKenyan public universities. The study used inferential survey research design where both\r\nqualitative and quantitative techniques were employed to analyze data. Spearman�s rho was used\r\nto test the null hypotheses there is no significant correlation between independent variables and\r\ndependent variable. In addition the researcher used the Ordinal Logistic Regression Analysis to\r\nmodel the relationship between Human Resource Function and the predictor variables. The main\r\nfindings of the study are that there is a positive significant relationship between the independent\r\nvariables and dependent variable. Basing on the study it was suggested that for proper adoption of\r\nIT in the HR Function within the Kenyan public universities it is important to ensure there is an IT\r\npolicy that employees are aware of. Second, there is need to have a well planned and organized IT\r\nimplementation procedure. Third, Management should promote and organize IT literacy skills\r\ntraining and finally, provide adequate IT infrastructure to facilitate IT adoption.
