Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to provide understanding on the possibilities of combining e-HRM and organization’s strategy in autonomous working environments. As the HRM function is often seen as a separate function instead of being an active participant in strategy execution, my aim is to find ways of bringing the HRM function closer to the organization’s strategic work through ICT systems. As the working world is rapidly changing towards more independent ways of working, the research is limited to organizations with highly autonomous employees. Using ICT systems in HRM is not a new phenomenon, and the use of e-HRM systems have raised a discussion about whether the computer mediated communication in HRM leads to alienation and loss of human touch in organizations. In this paper I aim to find ways of combining the usage of ICT systems in strategic HRM without loosing the human connection. Presented ideas and suggestions are based on literature review and interviews representing different sides of the issue. The results of this research suggest that even though the first reactions to e-HRM applications are often hesitant, successful ways of development and implementation have been found. In conclusion the research suggests that implementing successful and truly strategic e-HRM applications is possible even in autonomous working environments, when the end users are placed in the center of attention while developing and implementing the e-HRM system.Description
