HRMT tools such as Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), and e-learning platforms play a pivotal role in enhancing operational efficiency and job satisfaction. Yet, limited adoption within Nigerian educational institutions has been linked to low staff morale, high turnover, and declining academic outcomes. Guided by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Equity Theory, Social Cognitive Theory, Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory, Diffusion of Innovations, and Modernization Theory, the study focused on four HRMT dimensions: recruitment, compensation, learning, and innovation, with infrastructural development examined as a moderating factor. Using a positivist paradigm and descriptive survey design, data were collected from 223 randomly selected teaching staff out of a total population of 502 across eleven Marist Secondary Schools. Structured questionnaire ensured data reliability (Cronbach’s alpha confirmed internal consistency). SPSS Version 28 was employed for descriptive analysis, Pearson’s correlation, multiple regression, ANOVA, and diagnostic testing. Correlation results revealed that all HRMT dimensions positively and significantly relate to employee satisfaction (p < 0.01), with recruitment technology showing the strongest correlation (r = 0.533) and compensation technology the weakest (r = 0.405). Regression analysis indicated that HRMT collectively explains 38.2% of the variance in employee satisfaction (R² = 0.382), confirming its predictive strength. Findings highlighted the role of HRMT in improving recruitment transparency, payroll reliability, professional growth, and workplace innovation. The study emphasized the importance of strong digital infrastructure and cyber security in supporting HRMT success and recommends investment in AI-driven recruitment, automated payroll systems, adaptive learning tools, and secure digital platforms. These findings provided valuable direction for policymakers and education leaders aiming to enhance workforce engagement and institutional outcomes in developing contexts. Future research should investigate the long-term effects of HRMT adoption on employee well-being, psychological safety, inclusion, and performance across African educational systems.en-USHuman resource management technologyemployee satisfactionhuman resource information systemsschool administrationemployee engagementMarist secondary schoolsNigeriaThesis
