Drawing on quantitative data collected from a sample of 266 HR managers, the study explores the extent to which new technologies enhance efficiency, communication, decision-making, and overall effectiveness within HR functions. Additionally, it examines the barriers and complexities encountered in the adoption and integration of these technologies, including staff training, resistance to change, integration complexities, cost implications, and data privacy concerns. The findings reveal a significant positive impact of new technologies on various aspects of HR operations, highlighting their potential to revolutionize traditional HR practices and drive organizational performance.
