combination of the need to work more efficiently on the one hand and the possibilities of
current information and communication technology on the other, have resulted in the
swift development of electronic HR systems (Stanton and Coovert, 2004; Fletcher, 2005).
The introduction of E-HRM is expected to facilitate a more efficient and strategic way of
working for HR professionals (Gardner et al., 2003; Shrivastava and Shaw, 2003).
E-HRM could be narrowly defined as the administrative support of the HR function
in organizations by using internet technology. However, this definition only includes
