Revisiting Digital HR Technologies: Problematizing Assumptions and Theoretical Implications for Organizational Performance

Author(s) Kelvin Mataka
Country Zambia
Abstract This study critically examines the theoretical implications of digital Human Resource technologies through the lenses of problematization and intertextual coherence. Drawing on the frameworks established by Alvesson and Sandberg (2011) and Locke and Golden-Biddle (1997), the research challenges the prevailing assumptions about the efficacy of digital Human Resource (HR) tools. It interrogates the widely held belief that these technologies invariably enhance organizational performance, revealing potential contradictions and tensions such as digital overload and the erosion of work-life boundaries. By problematizing these assumptions, the study identifies new research questions and proposes alternative theoretical perspectives, including critical management studies and posthumanism. The findings suggest novel avenues for empirical investigation, such as longitudinal studies on the long-term effects of digital HR tools and cross-industry comparisons. This research contributes to a more detailed understanding of digital HR technologies, offering both theoretical insights and practical recommendations for future research.
Keywords Digital HR technologies, Problematization, Intertextual coherence, Organizational performance, Critical management studies, Posthumanism.
