The Impact of e-HRM on Teacher Performance A Case of Higher Educational Institutions in Sindh Province

Abstract

This study investigated the impact of Electronic Human Resource Management (E-HRM) on teacher performance in public universities in Sindh, Pakistan. The research design combined surveys and interviews, employing a mixed-methods approach to collect data from teachers currently serving in the selected universities. The study explored e-HRM practices in planning, training and development, and monitoring. The findings revealed a discernible connection between e-HRM variables and teacher performance, with planning, training and development, and monitoring showing significant positive impacts. The exclusion of the evaluation variable raises questions about measurement challenges. The findings have implications for policymakers and university administrators, emphasising the need for robust e-HRM systems to optimise human resource management and enhance teaching staff capabilities. The study contributes to the theoretical framework drawing upon Human Capital Theory, the Resource-Based View, and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning movement. Recommendations for future research include refining evaluation metrics, conducting longitudinal studies, exploring context-specific challenges, and addressing issues related to e-HRM implementation in higher education institutions. Inclusively, the study provides valuable insights into the transformative potential of E-HRM in optimising teacher performance and fostering institutional excellence in the educational landscape of Sindh province, Pakistan.
