Human resource management is constantly evolving into a technology-based service provider to their employees. In today’s organizations, employees see the face of HR as an Intranet portal rather than a human on the other side. This transformation of Human Resource services through technology is now being coined as E-HRM or electronic human resource. The Use of E-HRM in today’s Organizations, are in many function areas such as training and development, performance management systems, hiring and employee self-service. Organisations who adopt HR technology tools outperform those that do not. Interestingly early on the HR department was the last recipient of IT benefits in any organization, it started from keeping the database of the employees. In the present scenario employees are considered as the strategic partners of the organization and the use of high-end software have changed the face of HR departments and a new term has been coined as E-HRM. This present paper tries to evaluate the role of E-HRM in IT companies and also to measure the acceptance and effectiveness of the same at the different levels of management.

This study was performed in two parts, qualitative and quantitative, in order to identify the components and present a qualitative model by grounded theory method and test the model by PLS structural equations. Based on the results of the qualitative part, finally 6 main networks, 22 main components and 114 sub-components were identified for the role of human resource management in the alignment of information technology and business. The results of the quantitative part showed that the causal condition with a factor load of 0.533 affects the axial phenomenon. Axial phenomena, contextual conditions and intervening conditions affect strategies with factor loads of 0.326, 0.481 and 0.361, respectively, and strategies with factor loads of 0.839 affect outcomes.

An empirical investigation into perceptions about the handling of knowledge in organisations. The findings are based on replies to a non-random postal questionnaire based survey. The respondents were the senior human resource management (HRM) and information technology (IT) specialists at the 60 largest Scottish companies (as measured by market capitalisation). The findings in the main confirm both ideas in the literature in general and the findings and conclusions from previous studies including Alavi, and Leidner (1999). In addition some new aspects are reported which can be construed as showing support for the idea of professional groupings holding onto knowledge and for the existence of ambivalence towards the emphasis placed on the role of IT in conducting KM.

The aim of this chapter is to present the coevolution of technology and human resource management, considering the role of enabler that information technology (IT) can play in the reconfiguration of the human resource (HR) function. This approach combines theories on activities, competences, and knowledge and follows the concept of intellectual capital (IC), composed by at least three forms of capital, that is, human, social, and organizational (Sullivan, 2000; Youndt, Subramaniam, & Snell, 2004). This chapter focuses on the value that relations have in the organization. For this reason we shift from the concept of human resource management to the concept of relational resource management that is focused on the management of relations among activities, people, competences, and knowledge as a way to increase and maintain the value of intellectual capital. We present the concepts of HR portal and intellectual capital as a way to leverage knowledge contributing to the development of the relational resource management.
