Abstract

In the article, the impact of information technologies' (IT) implementation into the work of human resource departments for increased effectiveness is explored. Modern relations at the enterprise require the most important network-based enterprise's unit to be a strategic, flexible, cost-effective and service-oriented division of the organization. Although the influence of IT on Human Resources Management (HRM) has been a focus of scientists' attention, no empirical research has been conducted in this area in Azerbaijan. The authors use the experience and initiatives of enterprises and national banks to show the current state and results of the implementation of IT in HRM. Obtained data show that IT is not widely used in Azerbaijani organizations to perform HRM functions. The results also show that, although IT should have a certain impact on all sectors in terms of HRM, the types of IT used should vary significantly in recruitment, maintenance, and development tasks.
