Abstract: The use of technology in HR (e-HRM) is well established for the purposes of improving HR operational processes and allowing distributed access to employees and managers.Likewise, several organisations have successfully adopted new HR business models using technology as a platform for a transformative change at the human capital level.However, many organisations, particularly the UK public sector, are still lagging in their implementation of more sophisticated HR models.As a practicing consultant in this field, the author regularly encounters organisations that fail to take advantage of the transformational potential of e-HRM.This paper argues that different technological frames between key stakeholder groups may explain why inertia has occurred in some organisations.It contends that the analysis of technological frame domains provides a valuable lens for understanding and interpreting e-HRM and as a means of examining the barriers that may hinder the development of e-HRM.It may also provide the basis for strategies to manage e-HRM related change more effectively.Using a grounded theory approach, the research, currently work in progress in support of a professional doctorate (DBA), is investigating how UK public sector organisations make sense of, plan for and implement HR technology.
