Abstract: The development of modelling frameworks enabling the analysis and (re)design of HR behaviours is essential for the proper integration of Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) within organisations. Enterprise Modelling (EM), is widely used to model organisational strategy, activities and resources. However, current EM frameworks disregard the complexity, adaptiveness, and emergence that characterise organisations and their human resources. This paper describes an architectural view to model the activity of human resources in organisations that takes into account all those characteristics. It does so by acknowledging: (1) multiple behavioural concerns, (2) the situational nature of the activity of people in organisations, and (3) human adaptive and emergent behaviours. The paper also suggests an approach for interrelating the proposed architecture with current EM frameworks, and illustrates this with examples from a case study.
