An investigation of firm performance via electronic ability-motivation-opportunity enhancing practices towards Saudi Arabian garment sector employees

Abstract

This study aims to explore ability-motivation-opportunity (AMO) practices to enhance sustainable HRM in the electronic environment. The authors further investigated whether sustainable e-HRM (SEHRM) may improve firm performance. Data was collected from the employees of the Saudi Arabian garment sector. Collected data was analyzed by applying structure equation modelling (SEM) by using smart-PLS. Results indicate that three dimensions of e-HRM positively and significantly impact firm performance. Results further suggest that SEHRM substantially mediates the relationship between e-HRM practices and firm performance. To establish SEHRM systems, an emphasis must be placed on e-HRM practices that improve employees' abilities and motivation. Once employees comprehend the importance of EHRM, they will be attracted towards this system routinely for activities such as goal planning and performance evaluation. Creating SEHRM helps improve the functions of the business. This study will help business professionals to adapt EHRM to improve the firm performance.
