Abstract: This paper aims to identify and prioritize the various dimensions of electronic Human Resource Management (e-HRM) using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which enables the Indian IT industry to cope up with the technology advancements in human resource management (HRM).This paper focuses on how e-HRM can be successfully implemented in IT industry. This paper employs a detailed literature review to identify the drivers of e-HRM in Indian IT industry and uses AHP to reveal their priority wise ranking. This study identifies eight factors of e- HRM under three main criteria and finds out their relative importance. Overall, organizational factors are found to be the most important factors, followed by environmental factors and e- HRM related factors, respectively. The study is limited Indian IT sector. The applicability of results to other geographical boundaries is questionable. Also, there may be dependencies among criteria and sub-criteria which may be ignored. The findings of this paper are useful for the IT firms as they can incorporate e-HRM considering the relative importance of the factors of e-HRM and hence, increase their competitiveness. The findings are also useful for researchers and academicians. e-HRM has been a topic of interest for many researchers, but there is a lack of study of prioritization of e-HRM determinants in IT sector.
