The influence of E-HRM on employee Performance in selected construction companies

Electronic Human Resource Management (e-HRM) is a way to implement human resource strategies, policies, and practices. E-HRM, through Web-based technology, supports the HR function to satisfy the organisation's HR needs. By using this system, human resource management (HRM) can help to reduce costs, deliver information faster, and increase the performance in handling human resource tasks more efficiently and effectively. The aim of this study, is to determine the influence of e-HRM (e-Recruitment and Selection, e-Training and Development, e-Compensation and Benefit and e-Performance) on employee performance in construction companies. The quantitative method was used for data collection via the use of questionnaires. A stratified random sampling was carried out for a population that consisted of 400 employees from 20 construction companies. The study found that e-HRM has a positive relationship (i.e. e-compensation and benefit, and e-performance) to the performance of employees. The study's results also indicated that the relationship between e-recruitment and selection, and employee performance was insignificant. Meanwhile, e-training and development was negatively correlated with employee performance. In practice, according to the findings of the current study, e-performance has more influence on employee performance than e-compensation and benefit. An effective use of e-HRM has increased the performance of employees.
