Background and Objective: In the era of rapid digital transformation, Electronic Human Resource Management (E-HRM) has emerged as a strategic driver for human capital development in public sector organizations. The main objective of this study was to investigate the direct and indirect effects of E-HRM on the development of human resource competencies, with the mediating role of organizational learning culture, within the Foundation of Martyrs and Veterans Affairs of Razavi Khorasan Province.
Methodology: This applied research employed a descriptive-causal design using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The statistical population comprised 400 employees, from which a sample of 197 individuals was selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using standardized questionnaires. Validity was established through content validity and convergent validity using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), while reliability was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability (CR) coefficients.
Findings: The findings revealed that E-HRM has a positive and significant effect on both the human resources competency development and organizational learning culture. Furthermore, the effect of organizational learning culture on human resources competency development was confirmed. The mediating role of organizational learning culture in this relationship was also proven.
Conclusion: The implementation of E-HRM leads to the human resources competency development, both directly and through strengthening the organizational learning culture. These results underscore the necessity of simultaneous attention to technology and cultural foundations for the effectiveness of digital investments in the human resource domain.
