Digital human resource management: A conceptual clarification

Author(s):  
Stefan Strohmeier

The concept of digital human resource management and related concepts such as the digitization of human resource management, the digitalization of human resource management, the digital transformation of human resource management, and the digital disruption of human resource management are gaining prominence in scholarly discussion. Frequently, however, the use of these concepts is implicit, heterogeneous, and proliferating. These concepts, thus, lack the “conceptual clarity” necessary in research. Therefore, this article aims at a conceptual clarification of digital human resource management and of related concepts of the digitization of human resource management, the digitalization of human resource management, the digital transformation of human resource management, and the digital disruption of human resource management. To do so, the article references general literature on digital organizations to develop a terminology and typology of digital human resource management. The terminology offers precise and parsimonious definitions of the concepts and relationships between them, offering a basic understanding. The typology offers precise and parsimonious ideal-types, which order and classify phenomena related to digital human resource management, in turn expanding knowledge about these phenomena. Together, the terminology and typology clarify the concept of digital human resource management and related concepts, uncover digital human resource management as an evolutionary advancement of previous conceptualizations of technology-based human resource management, and provide a conceptual basis for future work on digital human resource management.

This study aims to identify the impact of digital transformation in achieving strategic sovereignty in a world that is intensely competitive and in a digitalized era. In the study, the human resource management variable serves as an intermediary variable in the relationship between digital transformation and strategic leadership. The study population consists of (420 top and middle) managers in two mobile telecommunications companies in Palestine, namely: Jawwal and Ooredoo. The study is based on the quantitative approach using a proportional stratified sample, as a 201- item questionnaire is developed using the Seven-Point Likert Scale to study the three variables. The independent variable is digital transformation and its dimensions (Business Model, Customer Experience, Digital Processes, and Impact on People), while the dependent variable is Strategic Supremacy including its three dimensions (Scope of Influence, Competitive Configuration, and Competitive Compression), while digital human resources management serves as an intermediate variable. The data contained herein is analyzed by the Smart PLS Program - structural equation modelling (Second Order). The study shows a positive and good impact of digital transformation on strategic supremacy. The same applies to the impact of digital human resources management thereon. The study concludes that even though digital transformation has a very good impact on human resource management, digital human resources management is a mediating variable in the relationship between digital transformation and strategic supremacy, or even a partial mediator.

ZusammenfassungDigitale Transformation im Human Resource Management (HRM) bedeutet zunehmende Virtualisierung der Arbeit und Zusammenarbeit mit künstlicher Intelligenz, neuen personalen Anforderungen sowie erhöhter Mitarbeitendenmobilität. Resultate einer Mixed-Methods-Studie in einer von klein- und mittelständischen Unternehmen (KMU)s und öffentlichen Verwaltungen geprägten Region der Schweiz zeigen, dass trotz hoher Relevanz der digitalen Transformation in den befragten Betrieben die Qualifikation der Mitarbeitenden als noch nicht ausreichend betrachtet wird. Neben fachlichen Schulungen ausgewählter Skills werden persönlichkeitsbezogene Fähigkeiten (beispielsweise Offenheit und Flexibilität) und ein damit verbundenes Mindset bzw. eine entsprechende Organisationskultur als zentral erkannt. HRM ist allerdings noch stark mit der Digitalisierung der eigenen Prozesse beschäftigt und läuft damit Gefahr, die Chance zu verpassen, als strategischer Partner die Entwicklungen im Unternehmen hin zu neuen digitalen und flexiblen Organisationskulturen mitzugestalten.

The study adopts a Focus group discussion than the more dominant quantitative data in studying Western Australian Business landscape and it’s local and global disrupters, repellents and extractors are exhaustively and critically analyzed. In order to ascertain needed competencies to navigate the next industrial revolution, current practices of government and non-government initiatives can be Juxtaposed to rowing and rafting phenomena. The current global strategic HR perspective should be focused, fast and flexible but the Australian Government and most corporate conglomerates view are it should be Safe, Slow and Strict. People make sense of their world where human actions are based upon the person's interpretation of events, societal meanings, intentions and beliefs (Gill and Johnson 20101; Denzin and Lincoln, 20052). The Australian public’s belief in navigating the next industrial revolution and the effect of Government policy-making is analyzed critically in this paper. The following two questions being answered with practical disparity and in the end, adjusted accordingly to make sense to the layman terms. First “Why we need to reimagine Human Resource Management perspective?” was unveiled. Secondly, the key features of future Human Resource Management were questioned.  Thirdly what should the Australian corporates and Governments do differently to assimilate our workforce to reap benefits from the next industrial revolution is discussed. Finally championing the change using the right blend of leadership style and scale of change discussed in length to add clarity to the perspective.
