Automation & Self-Service HR Systems

Welcome to the course on Automation & Self-Service HR Systems. In an era where digital transformation is reshaping the business landscape, this comprehensive program is designed to guide you through the critical intersection of human resource management and advanced technology. We will explore how Electronic Human Resource Management (E-HRM) and Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) are revolutionizing the workforce, moving organizations from traditional, time-consuming administrative functions to strategic, data-driven management.

Throughout this course, we will navigate the technological paradigms of Industry 4.0 and Society 5.0, examining how Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, and the Internet of Things can be leveraged to create a smarter, more inclusive, and highly productive workforce. You will delve into the theoretical frameworks of technology adoption, such as the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), to understand the psychological factors that drive successful system implementation. Furthermore, we will address the practical challenges of this transition, including data security, cost management, and the necessity of ethical governance in an automated environment.

Key learning outcomes of this course include:

• Understanding the evolution of HR from manual methodologies to automated E-HRM and HRIS ecosystems.
• Analyzing the impact of Industry 4.0 technologies and Society 5.0 human-centric values on organizational structure and culture.
• Evaluating the psychological determinants of technology adoption through theoretical models like TAM, TPB, and UTAUT.
• Exploring the role of specialized software and self-service systems in enhancing employee autonomy, performance management, and data transparency.
