Abstract :

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of information and communication technology in human resource management and improving the performance of veterinary networks in Gilan province. Methods: For this purpose, 175 senior staff and managers of veterinary networks of Gilan province were selected. The data were collected by standard questionnaire of Yunis et al. 2018. Data were evaluated using SPSS software and Smart PLS version 3 and SEM structural equation modeling. Results: According to the results, the effect of using information and communication technology on human resource management is 4.72 and the coefficient of impact of human resource management on entrepreneurship is 2.89, which is significant considering that the statistical T is greater than 1.96. The mediating role of variable human resource management in influencing the use of information and communication technology in organizational entrepreneurship is thus confirmed. Also, the degree of impact of information and communication technology acceptance on human resource management is 3.6 and the coefficient of impact of human resource management on entrepreneurship is 2.89. Thus, the mediating role of variable human resource management in influencing the acceptance of information and communication technology in organizational entrepreneurship is confirmed. Conclusion: Acceptance of ICT alone cannot affect organizational entrepreneurship and performance, and that ICT can be seen as an enduring competitive advantage that employees recognize as a tool and employ in organizational processes.
