ABSTRACT
In the era of globalization and digital transformation, Information Technology (IT) has become a critical enabler of effective International Human Resource Management (IHRM). Multinational corporations increasingly rely on digital tools to manage geographically dispersed workforces, facilitate cross-border communication, support expatriate management, and enhance global talent strategies (Strohmeier, 2007; Stone et al., 2015). This conceptual paper examines the role of IT in transforming key IHRM functions, including recruitment, training, performance management, knowledge sharing, and employee engagement. Drawing upon literature from human resource management and information systems, the paper proposes a framework linking IT adoption to improved global HR effectiveness and organizational performance (Marler & Boudreau, 2017; Bondarouk & Brewster, 2016).
Emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, HR analytics, cloud computing, and virtual collaboration platforms are highlighted as strategic tools for managing international employees. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
