Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: This study examines the relationships between key enablers of human resource (HR) digitalisation, specifically digital talent acquisition and e-learning management, HR analytics and artificial intelligence, with a focus on how HR transformation mediates these relationships. Grounded in the resource-based view (RBV) theory, the study posits that digital technologies serve as strategic resources that enhance HR capabilities and drive organisational transformation. Data were collected from 360 HR managers across various organisations in India, and the proposed model was tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS 4.0. Findings indicate positive relationships between digital talent acquisition and e-learning management on HR transformation, HR analytics and artificial intelligence adoption. Additionally, the study highlights the mediating role of HR transformation strategies in maximising the benefits of digitalisation, HR analytics and artificial intelligence within HR functions. These insights offer valuable guidance for organisations pursuing HR digitalisation initiatives and contribute meaningfully to understanding HR practices in the digital age.
