| dc.description.abstract | The present study investigates operational-, relational- and transformational- e-
HRM practices as potential antecedents of Potential and Realized Absorptive
Capacity. The potential moderating and mediating effects of psychological safety
and Interdepartmental Connectedness are also investigated. Results are based on a
quantitative study of 90 HR professionals from a wide variety of fields in Norway.
Our findings suggests that e-HRM used for operational-, relational- and
transformational purposes are all positively related to either both or one of the two
dimensions of Realized Absorptive Capacity. Further, Interdepartmental
Connectedness does, in some conditions, have a moderating effect on the
relationship between transformational e-HRM and Realized Absorptive Capacity
Transformational. Psychological safety is also found to show significant mediating
effects on two relationships, including: the relationship between relational e-HRM
and Realized Absorptive Capacity, and the relationship between transformational
e-HRM and Realized Absorptive Capacity. Practical implications and limitations
of the study are discussed.
