Abstract

The aim of this paper is to examine the effectiveness of e-HRM by a mediated moderation analysis. This paper used both descriptive and quantitative approaches, while the research unit of analysis consists of Line managers and HR specialists. Purposeful sampling was used for the sampling process in this study while, the research sample consists of 373 Line managers and HR specialists. A questionnaire was used to collect data and PLS-SEM was used to evaluate the study. This study responds to two concerns raised in earlier e-HRM studies; first, to draw attention to the importance of the connection between technology and organisational features; and second, to indicate that the implementation of e-HRM leads to higher-quality HRM services. The main factors affecting the excellent quality of HRM services are the benefits of both traditional HRM and e-HRM. Repeated use of e-HRM and user guidance confirmed their mediating effect, while appropriation of e-HRM and acceptance of the e-HRM system demonstrated their moderating influence. This paper encourage line managers and HR specialists must ensure that e-HRM systems are user-friendly and understandable to the intended audience (e.g.

Does e-HRM contribute to HRM Effectiveness? Results from a quantitative study in a Dutch Ministry
Huub Ruel

Joop-journal of Object-oriented Programming, 2006

E-HRM is coming to a more full-grown stage within organisational life. Much is assumed and expressed about the advantages of e-HRM, however scientific proof of these advantages is scarce. No clarity exists about the answer to the question whether e-HRM contributes to HRM effectiveness. In this paper we present results from the first quantitative study on the contribution of e-HRM to HRM effectiveness. The data is collected in a Dutch ministry. Results show that actual use of the e-HRM application correlates with HR effectiveness, especially the content and design (= quality of the e-HRM application). Regression analysis confirms that the experienced quality of the e-HRM application is the only significant explanatory factor of technical and strategic HR effectiveness. In the final section of the paper conclusions are drawn, limitations discussed and future research directions raised.

Comparative analysis of effectiveness between E-HRM and traditional HRM
Ijariit Journal

IJARIIT, 2018

The study is focused on the process of E-HRM and its implications on employees with special reference to the Education Department (DIOS Office and BSA Office), Moradabad. In the present scenario, paperless offices are required to save the environment. For this purpose, E-HRM has taken a place of HRM introduced and processed in blue chip organizations. The traditional method of HRM is not a need of time in the world of ICT enabled services. The most of the organizations are moving from a traditional model of HRM to E-HRM that will lead to stoppage of paper wastage to make HR more effective and transparent. E-HRM also proposed by the present government. To study the effectiveness and implications of E-HRM, researchers formulated the questionnaire to draw the opinion on the effectiveness of E-HRM.

The contribution of e-HRM to HRM effectiveness : Results from a quantitative study in a Dutch Ministry
Huub Ruel, Mandy Van Der Velde

Employee Relations, 2007

Purpose -Both for-profit and not-for-profit organisations have been replacing face-to-face HRM activities with web-based HRM tools, e-HRM for short, for employees and managers since the 1990s. This paper aims to look at whether this is of benefit to an organisation. Design/methodology/approach -The study was conducted in the Ministry of Internal Affairs in The Netherlands, where e-HRM in the form of employee self-service applications was introduced. Findings -The study shows that individual assessment of e-HRM applications influences HRM technical and strategic effectiveness. This is especially so in the perceived quality of the content and the structure of e-HRM applications which have a significant and positive effect on technical and strategic HRM effectiveness. Research limitations/implications -It is difficult to form generalizations from the research into only one company. Practical implications -The basic expectations are that using e-HRM will decrease costs, will improve the HR service level and will give the HR department space to become a strategic partner. This study investigates whether this is the case. Originality/value -The area on which this study concentrates has not had extensive academic research conducted into it.

E-HRM: Innovation or Irritation?
Tanya Bondarouk

2005

Technological optimistic voices assume that, from a technical perspective, the IT possibilities for HRM are endless: in principal all HR processes can be supported by IT. E-HRM is the relatively new term for this IT supported HRM, especially through the use of web technology. This paper aims at demystifying e-HRM by answering the following questions: what actually is e-HRM?, what are the goals of starting with e-HRM?, what types can be distinguished? and what are the outcomes of eHRM? Based upon the literature, an e-HRM research model is developed and, guided by this model, five organizations have been studied that have already been on the ‘e-HR road’ for a number of years. We conclude that the goals of e-HRM are mainly to improve HR’s administrative efficiency/to achieve cost reduction. Next to this goals, international companies seem to use the introduction of e-HRM to standardize/harmonize HR policies and processes. Further, there is a ‘gap’ between e-HRM in a technical sense and...

E-HRM: A proposed model based on technology
Haslindar Ibrahim

2010

E-HRM provides the HR function with the opportunity to create new avenues for contributing to organizational effectiveness. The topic of E-HRM is certainly not becoming obsolete, and its full potential is still anticipated and therefore academic involvement in the topic needs to grow. Besides, there has been a great deal of research on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) in Malaysia. Less attention is given to examine the relationship between HR roles (strategic partner, change agent, employee champion, and administrative expert) and E-HRM by adoption of TAM. This paper intended to contribute to the Malaysian literature pertaining to this subject. Based on a review of extant literature on E-HRM, HR roles, and TAM, a model is presented and propositions outlined for future empirical testing.

Measuring the Effectiveness of e-HRM in Selected Service Organization
MANISHA MANCHANDA

Pramana Research Journal, 2018

Practice based e-HRM started earlier than academic research into e-HRM. And as the promises of the vendors of e-HRM technology are not achieved and the investments to be made in e-HRM are high, scientific research can be of value for identifying the reasons for not achieving these promises. In this research, effectiveness of e-HRM is compared between two organizations i.e HCL Technologies and Xavient Information Systems. This paper elaborates on the development of a framework for measuring the effectiveness of e-HRM. Before the research framework could be developed, the context of e-HRM had to be explored. This has lead to the development of a preliminary theoretical framework that was expected to cover the important aspects affecting e-HRM effectiveness. The preliminary theoretical framework contained three constructs, the e-HRM goals, the use of e-HRM, and the effectiveness of the HR system, that were expected to determine the effectiveness of e- HRM. The framework can also be used for general research into the effectiveness of e-HRM, although it needs to be researched more intensively. After the analysis, it is found that HCL technologies and Xavient Information Systems have been using the e-HRM technology in an effective way. There is a gap between organizations’ belief in the value of the web-based-technologies and what organizations are actually achieving from e-HRM. There is a need to understand the reasons for this gap and the involvement of researchers can contribute to a greater understanding of this gap. There is a lot of research conducted on the effectiveness of HRM. Several studies have contributed to the knowledge about the effects of different e-HRM applications. These studies concentrate on implementation aspects and factors e.g. gender, age, IT experience of employees, usefulness of the technology, ease of use of the technology, and other factors to understand the success of these applications. The use of e-HRM technology also has an impact on the HR department (Ruël et al.; 2004). Several studies have reported on this impact. Little research however, is conducted on the impact of e-HRM on the HR system as a whole. Moreover, there is a need for a method to measure e-HRM effectiveness. This research is aimed to give some insights in how to measure these aspects.

To Examine The Relationship Between The Use Of The E-Hrm System And Hrm Effectiveness
Amee Agrawal

2018

In the changing times of today, HR has a more strategic role to play. It is increasingly becoming more important for HR to be relevant and Effective. With the advent of IT in HRM , there has been increased interest in the advantages of e-HRM usage and implementation. However, although several benefits of e-HRM usage are anticipated, researchers observe a lack of research on the contribution of e-HRM toward HRM effectiveness (Strohmeier, 2007). To address this inadequacy and contribute to the debate on the contributions of e-HRM in enhancing HRM effectiveness, this paper empirically examines the potential outcome of e-HRM usage in organizations. Such an examination will add to our understanding of the usefulness of e-HRM usage. The purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between the use of e-HRM system and HRM effectiveness, by building upon the UTAUT model.

E-HRM Delivers Better HRM Services
Anahita Ghanad

International Journal of Services and Operations Management

It is commonly believed that the advent of electronic human resource management (e-HRM) will result in improved HRM quality of service. This study specifically addresses two requests from previous research on e-HRM; one, to highlight the significance of the interaction between technological and organisational characteristics; and two, to establish that the deployment of e-HRM results in higher-quality HRM services. The advantages of both traditional HRM and e-HRM, according to our argument, are the primary factors that determine the high quality of HRM services. The frequency with which e-HRM is used may serve as a mediator in the connection. Additionally, using the adaptive structuration theory as a foundation, the amount of mediation used may differ between high and low e-HRM appropriation. To further understand what factors contribute to high-quality HRM services, an analysis of moderated mediation is done on a sample of 351 employees from a central administration department. Our research reveals that HRM and e-HRM capabilities have a significant positive direct impact. By demonstrating that HRM capability is the key determinant of HRM quality of service, the study's findings extend the field of e-HRM research.

NON-TECHNICAL SIDE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ELECTRONIC HRM SYSTEM - Discoursive Exploration of Line Managers ‘and Employees’ Perceptions
Tanya Bondarouk

Proceedings of the Ninth International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems, 2007

Electronic Human Resource Management (e-HRM) is coming to a more full-grown stage within organisational life. Much is assumed and expressed about its advantages, however scientific proof of these advantages is scarce. No clarity exists about the answer to the question whether e-HRM contributes to the effectiveness of HRM processes. This paper contributes to the Enterprise Information Systems field in two ways. Firstly, findings-wise, we present results from the qualitative study on the contribution of e-HRM to HRM effectiveness. The data is collected in a Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations. Results show that e-HRM applications have some impacts on the HRM practices. However, e-HRM is not perceived by the users as contributing to the HRM effectiveness. Interviews with line managers and employees have revealed interesting differences in their needs and perceptions about functionalities of e-HRM applications. Secondly, in this paper we integrate two approaches, namely technology-oriented approach, and organizational processes-oriented approach. An intersection of IT-and HRM-studies reveals new possibilities both for scientific and practical implications.
