Abstract :

In the past decades, technology has had a considerable impact on the processes and practices of human resource manaegement. For instance, technology, particularly the Internet, has helped many HR processes to be followed with higher productivity.New systems have enabled HR professionals to provide their beneficiaries with better services.Electronic human resource management(EHRM) is the best example of such systems. Its application in the present era is so widespread that it has become a necessity.Of course, this system in Iran is faced with some problems.On the one hand, a suitable explanation of the concept has not been provided,and on the other hand, due to factors affecting its establishment,the system has faced some problems.The present research article proceeds,through a mixed approach, to identify the factors affecting the establishment of EHRM through focusing on the overall strategic pattern.What has made the article unique is the pluralistic method of data collection.Finally,by means of"Q"method,which is a quantitative-qualitative method, the conceptual model of establishing electronic human resource management in the governmental organizations of Razavi Khorasgan Province has been presented.
