Abstract
This research is intended to examine the relationships among the use of IT by organizations, HRM performances on its functional tasks on productivity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, organizational performances, the IT implementation gap, HRM transformation gap, and organizational performances gap. The HRM practitioners who are registered as members of Arabian Society of Human Resource Management (ASHRM) were randomly selected as respondents to response to the questions in the questionnaire. All the four hypotheses were statistically supported. The use of IT had significant correlations with the HRM functional performances based on productivity, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. In addition, the IT implementation gap proved to be significant to the overall performances of HRM functional task. Several practical implications from the research findings and future research agenda were discussed at the end of the report.
Highlights
IntroductionResearchers and industry experts from both Information technology (IT) and HRM universally agree that nothing is certain for the future of e-HR system, the first wave of innovations is likely to be seen (and already emerging) as an integration of various systems involved in different functional aspect of the HRM (Kehoe, Dickter, Russell & Sacco, 2005); it is of critical importance because integration usually allow for more convenient, faster and cost-effective service delivery, can maximize the value of an e-HR system for the organizations. Cardy and Miller (2005) report that as the technology has made important strides in allocating human resources to strategic direction or new projects nowadays, separate HRM functions have seen application of software and the development of web-based applications; it is “at a more macro level, a level that cuts across and integrates various management functions, where development and corporate funds seem to be focused”

Sampling Procedures: In order to assure the quality of the data collected, the researchers themselves distributed the survey to a selected group of human resource management practitioners who are the registered members of the Arabian Society of Human Resource Management (ASHRM)
