The Impact of E- HRM on Job Performance of Employees in Palestinian Universities

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the impact of using electronic human resource management systems on employees' job performance in Palestinian universities, focusing on Palestine Polytechnic University as a case study. A descriptive-analytical approach was followed to achieve the study's objectives, utilizing a questionnaire as the primary data collection tool.The questionnaire consisted of 43 items that aligned with the study's objectives and the components of the independent variable and the dependent variable.The study population consisted of 480 employees with permanent contracts at Palestine Polytechnic University, covering diverse academic and administrative roles.A stratified homogeneous sample of 217 employees was selected for the study. 217 questionnaires were distributed, all of which were returned, yielding a 100% response rate, The SPSS statistical software was used to analyze the questionnaire items. Additionally, the study's results confirmed a positive and significant relationship between the independent variable 'electronic human resource management systems' and the dependent variable 'job performance of employees at Palestine Polytechnic University, The study also highlighted that electronic human resource management notably impacts employee job performance in Palestinian universities. The most significant impact was observed in the "electronic communication" dimension, followed by "electronic evaluation," "e-recruitment and selection," and "e-compensation and incentives." Electronic training had the least impact. Furthermore, study findings indicate that although the university employs electronic platforms to promote career openings, the utilization of electronic interviews for job applicants is limited. This area requires additional focus and progress. The study suggests that funding electronic scientific conferences, supporting scientific research, and bolstering digital transformation are all beneficial measures to consider. By providing financial and technical assistance for organizing and participating in these conferences, one can enhance scientific debate and research activity.
