ABSTRACT
Over the last few years, with the advent of intranet and Internet-based technologies, a new wave of human resource (HR) technology known as electronic human resource management (e-HRM) has emerged. It is aimed to assist with human resources administrative functions. With e-HRM, the service to management and employees is expected to improve. Though e-HRM has been identified as a catalyst towards achieving business strategies, there is little interest among local companies to adopt it. Some claim that this phenomenon will reduce the number of employees in the HR department. While some view that e-HRM would reduce costs and stimulate a more strategic approach in human resource management (HRM), others opine that the implementation and maintenance of e-HRM systems involve huge investment. Thus, to what extent has e-HRM already been implemented in local companies in Malaysia?
