Abstract

The paper presents results of the quantitative study into enablers and value creation of e-HRM systems. The findings supported by the analysis of 210 questionnaires, have revealed that the most significant enabler of e-HRM implementation is HRM system strength, while characteristics of the IT functionality also played an important role. The main result of the e-HRM usage was observed as effectiveness of HR administrative processes, but not Re-structuring of the HR function as usually expected from the introduction of e-HRM in organizations.
