Obeidat, Shatha M.·2016·Personnel Review

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to present results from an empirical study at the a Telecommunication company in Jordan on the impact of electronic-human resource management (e-HRM) use on human resource management (HRM) effectiveness. Moreover, by applying the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology, the study seeks to examine the mediating effect of the intention to use e-HRM on the relationship between e-HRM determinants (i.e. performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and social influence) and e-HRM use. This study adds a major contribution to the e-HRM literature by empirically examining the effect of e-HRM use on HRM effectiveness at both the policy and practice levels. Design/methodology/approach: Data were collected from employees working in Telecommunication company in Jordan about their perception towards the use of the e-HRM system and HRM effectiveness of policies and practices. Findings: The findings provide support for the positive contribution of the use of e-HRM on HRM effectiveness at both the policy and practice levels. It also confirms mediating effects of user intention on the link between e-HRM determinants (both performance expectancy and social influence) and e-HRM use. Research limitations/implications: This study emphasises the relevance of e-HRM in increasing HRM effectiveness. limitations of the study include cross-sectional data and the difficulty to form generalisation from the research restricted to a single company. Originality/value: This study represent a first attempt to examines the impact of e-HRM use on HRM effectiveness at both levels: policy and practice. It also reveals that relationship between e-HRM determinants and e-HRM use is mediated with e-HRM user intention.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
