Abstract

The aim of the study was to examine the impact of e-human resource management on employee satisfaction. Therefore, it focused on the private hospitals in Jordan. Data were primarily gathered through self-reported questionnaires creating by Google Forms which were distributed to a purposive sample of (320) physicians. In total, (285) responses were received including (11) invalid to statistical analysis due to uncompleted or inaccurate. Hence, the final sample contained (274) responses. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to test hypotheses. The results showed that E-human resource practices had a positive impact on employee satisfaction except e-compensation. They also indicated that the highest impact was for e-development. According to the study's findings, managers and decision-makers should follow the contract's implementation of all employee rights, as well as the employee's commitment to carry out all of the duties entrusted to him, ensure the employee's job stability, and work to ensure that an organization offers advanced technologies based on employee performance evaluation.
