Digital Human Resource Management:Scale Development and Its Impact on Job Performance
In the context of digital transformation,companies are gradually implementing digital human resource management(Digital-HRM).However,at the same time,practitioners and academics are facing the challenge of how to better understand Digital-HRM and how to play its positive role.In this study,firstly,through literature review and in-depth interviews,we developed a Digital-HRM scale with three dimensions and 10 items by strictly following the scientific scale development procedure.Secondly,based on the social information processing theory,we constructed a mediation model of"Digital-HRM-hindrance stress-job performance",and analyzed 324 samples of employees from enterprises in China using hierarchical regression analysis.The study found that Digital-HRM has a significant positive predictive effect on job performance,and there exists a"Digital-HRM-blocking pressure-hindrance stress"path of action.This study provides an effective measurement tool for subsequent research on Digital-HRM,as well as useful practical insights for enterprises to develop Digital-HRM to meet the challenges of digital transformation.
