Call for Papers

Vol. 21, No. 4, October-December, 2023

Theme No. 82: Digital Transformation of Human Resource Management

The focal theme of the 82 issue of JJDMS is “Digital Transformation of Human Resource Management”. Talking of the digital transformation proposition, it simply means to adopt and implement the digital technology by an organization in order to create new or modify existing products, services and operations. The goal of digital transformation is to increase value through innovation, invention, improved customer experience and efficiency, etc.

Broadly speaking, the integration of technology in HRM continues to evolve. Numerous HR functions are undergoing digital change. The efficient use of technology in HRM is crucial for an organization's success. Researchers might study artificial intelligence, machine learning, and big data analytics for tasks like recruitment, employee performance evaluation, and predictive workforce planning. Such tools and techniques must be carefully designed and developed following statutory requirements and industry standards. New organizational policies and practices are also required to adopt digital transformation. Ethical considerations related to technology implementation could also be explored. Digitalization of HRM also raises the dilemma of whether it is appropriate to deal with human problems with machines.

The current theme will be an excellent resource for management students, practicing managers and scholars interested in transformational leadership, change management, and digitalization of HR practices in the process of recruitment and talent acquisition.

Keeping this background in view, this issue invites contributions from researchers, practitioners, and industry experts who can provide diverse perspectives on the intersection of technology and human resource management.
