The role of HRM has changed altogether from a traditional (popularly called personnel management) to a strategic one. Most medium and large scale organizations spend large amounts of money and reserves on HR software, but unfortunately many of them utilize it only for HR administrative purposes rather than for effective and efficient human resource management. Closing the HRM technology gap has significant long-term benefits to the organization, above and beyond the support it can provide to HRM. To this end, the crucial first step is to understand the different perspectives in HRM, and the interactions among these perspectives. By perspective is meant a particular view of information, which leads to a particular set of decisions over the information.
This study aims to investigate the impact of the IT determinants of adopting E-HRM on the extent use of E-HRM in Egyptian organizations and the advantages they derive from the implementation of the same in the Human Resource Management (HRM) functions. Primary data was collected by means of questionnaires from 128 senior and junior HR executives/managers in four organizations in Egypt. It was found that the greatest determinants of E-HRM has its impact on the extent use of E-HRM that in turn has its impact on the effectiveness and efficiency of the whole organization.
