Organizational Significance Of E-Hrm In Iraq

Abstract

The business world undergoes constant transformation on account of the dynamic technological changes as well as other human factors, and Iraq is no exception. This transformation has changed the way we think, perform, exchange our views, opinions and work and also the way we do our business with more sophistication. This increased technology and digital feasibility hasimproved and transformed various organizational activities including Human Resource practices. The impact of interactive technologies can be experienced in every situation, role and industry as well in countries like Iraq. It is more pronounced among the organizations like Banking and Service sectors. The advent of new age technologies have radically transformed the contours and scope of Human Resource Management in emerging economies like Iraq. It may be noted that Human Resource Information System (HRIS) heralded tremendous changes over the past 3 decades, promising more efficient mechanization of manpower management. In the business scenario in Iraq, in the last few decades, web-based technologies have sprung up marking the arrival of Electronic Human Resource Management (e- HRM).  In this connection, the researchers have designated it as a powerful tool that can be used to empower the Human Resource, help him/her go beyond the coordination function and attain much more dynamic line functions. This research paper focuses on the evolution of E-HRM practices in organizations in general and Iraq, in particular.
