THE IMPACT OF ELECTRONIC HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ON GLOBAL BUSINESS
Abstract
This comprehensive study explores the diverse impact of Electronic Human Resource Management (e-HRM) on global business. It investigates the adoption and integration of e-HRM systems within multinational corporations, assessing their influence on talent acquisition, management, retention, cross-cultural communication, collaboration, diversity management, employee engagement, job satisfaction, organizational performance, and ethical considerations. The research collected data via questionnaires distributed to HR professionals, global business managers, IT specialists, employees, and HR consultants in multinational corporations. Data analysis utilized statistical tools including the Pearson Chi-square test and Spearman Rank Correlation Method. The SPSS 23.0 was employed to run the analysis. The findings indicate variability in e-HRM adoption across multinational corporations, suggesting a need for further investigation into the factors influencing adoption. E-HRM adoption is shown to positively impact talent acquisition and retention, provided it aligns with organizational objectives. It fosters improved employee collaboration but should not be viewed as a sole solution for diversity and cross-cultural communication management. Notably, there is no significant correlation observed between e-HRM adoption and employee engagement, job satisfaction, or overall organizational performance. Ethical concerns arise during e-HRM implementation, underscoring the importance of addressing associated challenges. In conclusion, organizations must approach e-HRM adoption strategically, considering their unique goals and challenges. While e-HRM presents advantages in talent management and collaboration, it necessitates meticulous integration. Future trends and best practices should encompass broader contextual factors beyond mere adoption. This study offers valuable insights into the evolving relationship between e-HRM and global business, emphasizing the need for thoughtful implementation and continuous adaptation in today's dynamic organizational landscape
