ABSTRACT
This research investigates the impact of Electronic Human Resource Management (e-HRM) systems on the effectiveness and job satisfaction of IT professionals, employing a comparative analysis with traditional HR practices. Through a comprehensive examination of factors like system usability, communication efficiency, and work-life balance, the study aims to discern the unique influences of e-HRM on job satisfaction within the IT sector. The study is a combination of both descriptive and analytical research design to address the E-HRM practices. The primary data required for the study was collected using a structured Google Form questionnaire from respondents who are working IT professionals or employees of 440 IT organizations in Tamil Nadu. Communication efficiency was a significant aspect, with the study highlighting the role of e-HRM in fostering real-time collaboration and improving information flow within IT teams. In light of these observations, practical recommendations have been formulated to guide organizations in optimizing their e-HRM strategies for IT professionals. These recommendations emphasize the importance of user-centered design, ongoing training and support, and a holistic approach to addressing challenges. The positive impact on work-life balance was notable, showcasing the potential of e-HRM to facilitate remote work and flexible scheduling. The findings will contribute valuable insights, offering practical recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of e-HRM implementations and elevate job satisfaction among IT professionals.
