Examining the role and position of the digital human resource management in economic development

Abstract. In recent decades, the world of business and human resource management (HRM) has been involved with new changes that have had a major impact on organizations and economic institutions. With the advancement of technology and the expansion of digitalization, the concept of digital HRM has been introduced as a revolution in this field, which has caused major changes in the methods and processes of HRM. The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of sustainable human resource practices on the economy, society and environment. Also, the intermediary role of digital HRM is investigated in this regard. The current research is a descriptive survey in terms of practical aim and methodology. The studied population of this research includes 5789 companies operating in industrial cities in Indonesia. The results of statistical analysis show that sustainable HRM has a direct and indirect effect on sustainable performance. Although external electronic supply chain strategy is linked to all three dimensions of sustainable performance, the hypothesis related to the effect of sustainable HRM on society with the mediating impact of internal electronic supply chain strategy has been rejected. Based on the findings, recommendations were presented to managerial sections to enhance sustainability and obtain benefits in the third issues at the same time.
