...Electronic HRM Practice and Organizational Performance Introduction: The processing and transmission of digitalized HR information is called electronic human resource management (e-HRM). E-HRM is the application of IT for HR practices which enables easy interactions within employee and employers.

Information technology is changing the way HR departments handle record keeping and information sharing. It decreases the paperwork substantially and allows easy access to voluminous data. The employee can also keep track of his/her achievements without having to go through litigious procedures. It uses intranet or other web technology channels. It can also be used for implementation of different HR strategies. The authorization of different HR functions can be distributed through E-HRM. Competitive business environments have compelled the organizations to think speedily to innovate and excel for their survival. Technology advancement is one of the powerful driving forces. It has reshaped the way we communicate, live, work and also the way a business is conducted. Corporations need to shift from physical technology to information technology, from capital centered economy to human centered economy, and further from conflict to cooperative working relationships. Since many years now, information technology seems to be affecting individuals and organizations...

...of observations off the applications of information technology (IT) in the field of human resource management (HRM) in general. This is due to the fact that IT and its wide range of applications have already made their presence felt in this area. This will be followed by a report on the findings of a survey on the present trends in organizations with in the different sectors in Turkey. Although the impact of IT on HRM has long been attracting the interest of academics, no empirical research has ever been realized in this field in Turkey, and few studies have been reported elsewhere. The survey was conducted among the 106 IT managers and professionals from various sectors, based on whose results, the data shows that IT is used extensively in the organizations to perform HRM functions in Turkey's dynamic economy. The results also indicated that, while IT has an impact on all sectors in terms of HRM to certain extent, the types of IT used vary significantly between recruitment, maintenance, and development tasks. However, the empirical results here reveal that these organizations are not applying these technologies systematically and maturely in the performance of HRM functions.

...The Influence of Organizational and Human Resource Management Strategies on Performance by Raduan Che Rose, PhD, and Naresh Kumar, PhD T oday a firm’s success largely depends on the capabilities of its members. Firms may have the capital and technology, but it is Human Resources (HR) that will help firms face the challenges of business globalization. Capital can be generated. So can technology. But the HR required to propel an organization through the coming challenges must be rightly and appropriately encouraged and motivated. Significantly, these days careful management of this important resource calls for a strategic focus on Human Resource Management (HRM) in the organization. Previous research on HRM widely accepted that employees create an important source of competitive advantage for firms (Barney, 1991; Pfeffer 1994). As a result, it is important that a firm adopt HRM practices that make best use of its employees. This trend has led to increased interest in the impact of HRM on organizational performance, and a number of studies have found a positive relationship between so-called “high-performance work practices” (Huselid, 1995) and different measures of company performance. Furthermore, there is some empirical support for the hypothesis that firms, which align their HRM practices with their business strategy, will achieve superior outcomes (Bae & Lawler, 1999). However, a review of the literature indicates a serious lack of large-sample empirical studies designed...

...information or contribute to the commerce of products. Peter Drucker in 1959 used the term knowledge worker in his book, Landmarks of Tomorrow, to refer to those who work in the fields of information technology which includes programmers, system analysts, technical writers, academic professionals, researches and so forth. Some other occupations such as teachers and lawyers are also often referred to as knowledge workers. In today’s working environment, people have the tendencies to segment between those who have talents, whom we call knowledge workers, and those who do not have. This trending view may erode the morale of the workers and in the long term, the company. When asked, people would refer to the top tier managements or people with exceptional ‘creativity’ such as scientists, architects and such. The fact is that, even workers that work daily in the front-line factories in producing the products are also people that require improvisations in terms of engaging with fellow workers in order to enhance the performance level. b. Impacts of Technology to HR Today Technology advancements have brought many major changes in our life. We update our status, photos, food, and if we relate it to the Human Resource Department, many systems have been made much more efficient and effective with the help of technology.

Price College of Business, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK, USA The purpose of this article is to develop a theoretical framework for governing an organization’s relationships with customers engaged as contributors to the organization’s business processes (i.e. customers as quasi-employees). Based on our suggested framework, we explain how appropriate customer-centric HRM practices can support more cost-effective and accommodating adaptations in the organization’s governance of its relationships with customers. We complement these propositions with practical examples illustrating how customers who take different cooperative roles will increasingly become valuable organizational assets. The collaborating customers not only provide the information necessary for the successful performance of the service exchange, but also contribute human and social capital in performing tasks that are a complement to or a substitute for employee tasks. In conclusion, we outline implications for international human resource management (IHRM), as well as future research directions for examining the relationships among customer governance, role configurations, and IHRM practices.
