The aim of this paper is to highlight the importance of the concept of e-HRM, its most important features, advantages, potential drawbacks, as well as to show the level of usage of e-HRM in Serbia. The methodology of the paper includes theoretical analysis of the available literature and data on e-HRM and empirical analysis of data on the use of e-HRM in organizations in Serbia. The analysis was conducted on the database of Cranet research in 2015/2016 by using the SPSS software. The authors point out that e-HRM is a kind of innovation that promotes, develops and facilitates the practice of HRM, both for the department of human resourcesand for managers and employees.
