The Importance of the Interface between Humans and Computers on the Effectiveness of eHRM

Abstract

Abstract:Technology has had a dramatic impact on the practice of human resources, and its impact is rapidly increasing. Even so, little research has examined how to apply information systems and human-computer interaction principles to designing human resource information systems. In this paper, we focus more closely on the role that the interface between the computer and human play in the success of electronic human resource management. Specifically, we a) briefly review the individual requirements of several eHRM functions (e.g., e-recruiting, e-selection, e-learning, ecompensation/benefits), b) consider how an understanding of human computer interaction can facilitate the success of these systems, c) reviews research on technical issues associated with eHRM, and d) highlight how applying HCI principles can increase their effectiveness. In addition, we introduce the remaining seven papers in the special issue.

The assessment of e‐HRM tools and its impact on HRM system effectiveness and organizational effectiveness: An empirical study of selected multinational companies in Ghana

“…Performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and enabling conditions—four fundamental factors that affect how people behave while using new technology—were the foundation around which UTAUT was constructed. The TAM, UTAUT, and four models of organizational effectiveness—the goal model, the system resource model, the process model, and the ecological or participant satisfaction model—when combined (Nidhi & Singh, 2019), are likely to produce a theory that unifies the efficacy of HRM and organizational effectiveness. And according to Bondarouk, Parry, and Furtmueller (2017), variables related to technology, organization, and people must be taken into account while introducing new technologies.…”

“…The prospective applicant applies for the job through the organization's website, by the usage of IT infrastructure. It provides information to the job seeker to match his competencies to the required job description and job specification before applying (Johnson et al 2017). It reduces unsolicited applications, removes the human interface of physically submitting applications and curriculum vitae, makes the recruitment process faster, and less expensive, availability to a large pool of applicants and minimizes corruption.…”

“…e‐Selection : It is the use of IT infrastructure and internet applications to assess the applicants' aptitude tests, cognitive ability checks, and so forth. When a candidate satisfies these requirements, he is called for an interview either face‐to‐face, video conferencing or collaborative voice‐response methods (Chapman & Rowe, 2002; Johnson et al 2017). According to Suchitra (2014, p. 5) “The purposes of e‐selection are mainly three (a) achieving cost reduction, (b) maximum utilisation of human capital, and (c) sustainability”.…”

The role of electronic human resource management in diverse workforce efficiency

“…Technology plays a significant role in changing the way organisations work (Deloitte, 2014) and dramatically impacts on the practice of human resources, and its influence is rapidly increasing (Johnson, Lukaszewski, & Stone, 2017). The success of e-HRM largely depends on effective interactions between people and computers (Gueutal & Stone, 2005).…”

The Impact of Multimedia Elements on Tablets and Digital Stories in Learning Process Management

“…Meanwhile, multimedia has elements, where the multimedia used has a clear purpose, the use of multimedia elements in accordance with the content, the appropriate combination of multimedia elements, the presentation of multimedia elements that are managed in a healthy manner, the number of multimedia elements for a screen does not exceed two elements, the use of multimedia elements that are interesting to support the information provided, High quality multimedia elements, Use of multimedia elements can improve the presentation of content (Abdulrahaman et al, 2020;Latini et al, 2020). While elements in pd consist of a perspective following a first or third person view in the story, the story is created deliberately to achieve the goal of a task (information, education, entertainment,), the narrator appreciates the story, and tells how the story affects the audience, questions and situations are used in the story process to involve the audience and the final solution, telling the story attracts the audience's attention through the emotional path or emotional purpose of the argument, the use of sound to retell the story is effective in conveying the message, the sound track is used to support the emotions and message to be conveyed and to attract the audience, story beats are manipulated by music tempo, sound level, picture period, camera angle to make the narrative interesting, the story consists of bending the story starting from the introduction, content and ending, the use of media such as images and sound without using text to convey the message, narrative material contributes in the storyline, users interact with other users to build a story, users contribute to the construction of the narrative by interacting with the storytelling system, and use materials correctly and optimally without overdoing it (Jensen et al, 2022;Khosrawi-Rad et al, 2023;Salminen et al, 2022).…”
