I think this is interesting relationship to test. My speculation is "more an organizational processes will be easier with the help of technology, more employees will be happy and satisfied". It is just like students satisfaction in a university. If a student's data is completely on some software or IS, it is easier for him to go through all university procedures and it affect his satisfaction with the university. Same applies to the organizations.
Yes, employee performance metrics are readily collected and analyzed for the purpose of increasing productivity. Inventory management software ensures that stock is at optimal levels. Accounting processes in just about every category are enhanced. These are just a few examples....
There stands a clear correlation between HR technology and organizational performance. The emergence of the “New Economic” system in global arena has a lion share of “E-enabled and E-businesses”. Most of the organizations are organizing work around technology. HR technology augments the capability of an organization to create and develop new knowledge through software customized for their needs and embed it in products, services and systems.
HR technology is disrupting the HR function and the marketplace, and some of that is happening through inorganic activities, including consolidation. For example, you have SAP acquiring SuccessFactors and Oracle acquiring Taleo. In addition to acquisitions, you have ADP releasing its Vantage software and Workday going public via an IPO. All of these marketplace shifts show that the SaaS business model is here to stay.
Once you cross the first hurdle of having access, the next challenge is knowing what to do with the data. That’s a skill that many organizations are rapidly building. People from HR, Finance and Marketing will need to sit down together and have a conversation about the trends they’re seeing, and the implications for each of their functions. So there are governance, collaboration, skill set and access components that are worth thinking about.
Thanks Hassan, Daryn, Muhamma & Krishnnan for your valuable inputs.
i am also wondering about establishing the relations (in research terms) between HR Technology and HR Transformation. Does HR Technology impacts the HR Transformation in organization which leads to organizational performance ?
There is a trend toward using technology to implement training initiatives or collect client/employee survey data. Both effect organizational and individual behaviour and thus are drivers of change. One facilitates or supports the other, these are just two simple examples.
Yes, there is a positive relationship between HR technology and organization performance. For example, it is well-known that HR information system can be of immense help in many ways. It may help in reducing uncertainty, promoting knowledge about company working and its policies; making formal communication faster; resolving grievances more effectively; etc.
Well, it can help the performance, but no always and not only . Other factors as leadership, corporate culture and HR politics should add for a superior performance. A attention only on IT may be not result in best performance.
Yes for sure there are a positive relationship, particularly, if we have HRIS then we can retrieve all the information we need then it will be easier to take the right decision and reduce the cost and time west.
Measurable variables could be number of support calls to HR services team about the routine enquiries and the satisfaction level of internal customers. Also, the HR dashboards customized for department Heads and CEO should lead to better decision making for improving productivity levels.
Yes, there is positive correlation between HR Technology and Organization Performance. HR Technology in the form of human resource information system (HRIS) is helpful by way of:
1. Gathering, organizing, processing, and communicating HR information to quarter concerned for decision making,
To judge the impact of information technology (IT) on the effectiveness of the HR organization is by the relationship between the degree of IT use and HR effectiveness. The average overall effectiveness rating of organizations with different degrees of HR process automation shows a pattern in the direction of more automation leading to greater effectiveness. Comparing the components of effectiveness across companies with different levels of IT process capability, the areas of effectiveness that are most enhanced by increasing IT process automation are providing HR services, tailoring practices to fit business needs, and operating shared service units. The HR function can indeed be a more effective service deliverer, can leverage service across business units, and can tailor services more easily if there is good process automation. Process automation currently does not, on the other hand, appear to significantly impact the ability of the organization to provide strategic business support in such areas as change consultation, developing business strategies, and being a business partner, presumably because it depends more on responsive support from knowledgeable HR professionals
Dear Sir(s) (Mr. Subhash, Mr. Krishnan, Mr. Debi),
Thanks a lot for your valuable inputs. I am really grateful to you and looking forward for your continuous guidance during journey of being Phd Scholar.
Conceptually there is congruence between organization performance models such as the BSC (Kaplan and Norton) and modern HR infrastructures. Theoretically all dimensions mentioned in the BSC model can be translated in KPI which may be integrated into an HR digital IS. Operationalizing something like this will not just entail a change within systems but also a culture shift which requires careful management.
Yes, there is a positive correlation between the deployment of eHRM, HR Technology, or HRIS and its impact on employee satisfaction and organizational performance. Research has shown that the effective use of these technologies can streamline HR processes, improve access to information, enhance communication, and ultimately contribute to higher employee satisfaction and improved organizational performance.
