Employees’ Perception of Electronic Human Resource Management (EHRM) Practices with Mediating Role of knowledge sharing Behaviour: Empirical Study of Egyptian private Universities

Abstract

This research aims to empirically investigate the relationship between electronic human resource management (EHRM) practices and innovation capabilities with a mediating role of knowledge sharing (KS) and organizational culture (OC) in private universities in Egypt. The objectives of this research are: to investigate the relationship between EHRM practices and innovation capabilities, to examine the relationship between EHRM practices and OC, to test the relationship between EHRM practices and KS, to investigate the relationship between OC and innovation capabilities, to examine the relationship between KS and innovation capabilities, to validate the proposed model investigating the relationship between EHRM practices and innovation capabilities with a mediating role of k in KS and OC in Egyptian private universities using structural equation modelling. The methodology will be based on quantitative analysis by using a questionnaire tool to gather required data and structural equation model analyses (SEM) using AMOS software version 25. The main conclusions drawn from this study are: the direct effect between EHRM Practices and Innovative Capability is statistically significant, the direct effect between EHRM Practices and Organizational Culture is statistically significant, the direct effect between EHRM Practices and Knowledge Sharing is statistically significant, the direct effect between Organizational Culture and Innovative Capability is statistically significant, and the direct effect between Knowledge Sharing and Innovative Capability is statistically significant. Finally, the study found that the results of the mediation effect indicate that there is a partial mediation effect of the Organizational Culture between the relationship of EHRM Practices and Innovative Capability, and there is a partial mediation effect of the Knowledge Sharing between the relationship of EHRM Practices and Innovative Capability.
