Evidence-Based e-HRM? On the way to rigorous and relevant research.
The Third Academic Workshop on electronic Human Resource Management (e-HRM) is orga-
nized by the Chair of Management Information Systems (MIS), Saarland University, Germany
www.mis.uni-saarland.de
PREFACE
Dear e-HRM experts and colleagues,
I would like to welcome you warmly to the “Third European Academic Workshop on
electronic Human Resource Management (e-HRM)”.
I am pleased to see that our Workshop has been established and is attracting a
committed group of e-HRM practitioners and academics.
In order to tackle an obviously wide-spread scientific problem we decided for
“Evidence-Based e-HRM? On the way to rigorous and relevant research.” as the major
workshop topic. We hereby face the challenges of the rigor vs. relevance debate and
intend to bridge research and practice by elaborating on the idea of evidence-based
management in e-HRM.
After a prolific review process by our program committee we could select 23 quality
papers, some of which directly, some rather indirectly refer to this topic. In particular,
we received papers in the realm of Strategic Perspectives, HRIS Personnel, e-
Recruitment, e-Learning and e-Competencies Management, Research Perspectives,
Organizational Aspects, Cases and further miscellaneous issues and are looking forward
to interesting presentations and discussions.
I am grateful to Theresa Welbourne (University of Southern California) and Uwe Simon
(SAP) who agreed to be Key Note speakers to support and stimulus us.
In an established manner, the Workshop also includes a Practitioner Track. Besides, as a
final part of the Workshop, a Scientist-Practitioner-Forum is planned to foster relevant
future research.
I thank all authors for sharing their findings, all reviewers for their active support and I
hope that all participants will profit from interesting discussions. I also thank our two
sponsors, SAP (http://www.sap.com/) and DFG (http://www.dfg.de/en/) for supporting
the funding.
Enjoy the conference and your stay in Bamberg.
