As with other parts of business, technology is having a profound effect on the world of work and management of human resources. Technology is a key enabler for faster, cheaper and better delivery of HR services and in some cases can have a transformational as well as unintended negative effect.

Designed for the digital era, e-HRM is one of the first textbooks on these developments. It incorporates the most current and important HR technology related topics in four distinct parts under one umbrella, written by leading scholars and practitioners drawn from across the world. All the chapters have a uniform structure and pay equal attention to theory and practice with an applied focus. Learning resources of the book include chapter-wide learning objectives, case studies, debates on related burning issues, and the companion website includes lecture slides and a question bank.

"Mohan Thite has again done a masterful job in this volume at providing both breadth on the growing digital HR agenda and depth on specific topics.

"Overall, this book provides an extremely interesting and beneficial overview of the field of e-HRM, and emphasizes basic approaches, and new directions in the field. This book is unique in the field because it focuses on underlying processes rather than just functional approaches to e-HRM (e.g., e-recruitment, e-selection, e-learning), and considers different approaches to understanding the field including the systems thinking approach and the agile approach. Thus, it helps readers gain a more in-depth understanding than previous books on how technology can help organizations achieve their HRM goals of attracting, motivating, and retaining valued employees.

I enjoyed reading this book, and know that it will make an important and lasting contribution to the field of e-HRM. It will also enable readers at all knowledge levels to gain a better understanding of the field, help researchers create new knowledge in e-HRM, and enable HR practitioners to meet their HRM goals."
