E-HRM Practices and Public Value Creation. A Case of County Government in Kenya
Abstract
Public organizations are adopting the use of electronic Human Resource
Management (e-HRM), as it is regarded as a key catalyst for generating value for
HRM processes. However, empirical evidence is scanty, particularly in the public
sector, to support this assumption. Drawing from public value theory, this study
sought to evaluate the link between e-HRM practices and public value creation in
Kenya. The study utilized a quantitative research methodology employing a crosssectional
survey design. The respondents were 209 employees of the Nyeri County
Government in Kenya. Structured equation modeling (SEM) was employed for data
analysis. The study findings showed a significant and positive relationship among
operational, relational and transformational e-HRM practices and public value
creation. The overall study model also fitted to the data. In line with the study
findings, we recommend that public organizations maximize e-HRM usage in their
operations to create public value.
