Abstract

This work highlights the importance of using indicators as a tool to objectively know the effective contribution of information and communication technology (ICT) to human resource management. The results of this study suggest that the use of indicators of effectiveness of ICT has a positive impact on operational effectiveness and strategic management of electronic human resources (e-HRM). Specifically, we measured the perception of effectiveness of ICT in different companies and related to the use of indicators, the presence and the design of strategies, the degree of information technologies use and the role played by human resources in the organization to know its influence on the effectiveness of the e-HRM. This paper emphasizes on the use of indicators to assess the contribution of ICT in decision-making, create competitive advantages and the effect it produces in the performance of the organization according to the theories and hypotheses of several authors in a comprehensive literature review.
