The e-HRM value proposition
5th international e-HRM conference
Suny global center, New York
July 30-31, 2014
Although e-HRM is now widely diffused in organizations, knowledge about how value is extracted is still evolving. Scholars and practitioners continue to raise new perspectives and questions. On the one hand, with greater automation of administrative tasks and increasing information, the HRM function is now free to focus on more complex, judgment-oriented and professionally demanding tasks and responsibilities. In this sense, jobs are upskilled as an adaptation to the effects of new technological innovations. On the other hand, implementation and enhancement of e-HRM capabilities in organizations may also represent a strategic intent to focus more on efficiencies than on enhancing HRM’s strategic value. The goal of this 5th International e-HRM conference is to once again bring together international scholars and e-HRM business leaders and consultants to present findings from their research and practice on understanding the e-HRM value proposition from multiple perspectives; strategically, operationally and academically.
To advance the integration of interdisciplinary academic research with practitioner-based perspectives, we encourage theoretical and qualitative and quantitative empirical contributions as well as practitioner panels or symposia on:
- e-HRM and strategy
- e-HRM and talent management strategy
- e-HRM and workforce management
- e-HRM and data analytics
- e-HRM and labor productivity
- e-HRM and social networks
- e-HRM and MNES
- SaaS vs. on-premise solutions
- Shared service centers
- The promise of integrated talent management
- Cross-cultural issues in e-HRM
- Global implementations of e-HRM
- Integrating supply chain theory with talent management
- Industrial relations implications of e-HRM
- Linking macro and micro-level perspectives
- Political and power perspectives
Deadline for submission is March 15th, 2014.
