The Integration of Information Technology to Facilitate HRM Functions: The Case of the Health Care Sector (Biomedicine Group)

By this paper we aim to explore the effect of information technology on HRM functions, examining the absorption of the e‐HRM system by employees in the new working context. The research is a case study in a group of companies, the “Biomedicine Group” in Greece, specialized in the health care sector. Quan􀆟ta􀆟ve research was conducted with a stra􀆟fied sample consis􀆟ng of 200 employees out of 2000 doctors, nurses and administra􀆟ve employees. The study found that the e‐HRM system had a positive impact on organizational outcomes, enhancing HRM functions. Moreover, it demonstrates both the usage of the e‐HRM system by employees and the usefulness of these systems. The integration and use of an e‐HRM system increases employees’ satisfaction, facilitating their work and advancing their capabilities. Managers through especially designed and implemented training programs can promote employees’ sense of qualification and capability within the context of the organization.
