Electronic human resource management (e-HRM) technology has been an impressive subject in light of rapid technical progress in this global networking era. Management of human resource in an organization can work smoothly when e-HRM technology is adopted properly. This study aims to investigate the factors affecting the adoption of e-HRM technology in the Palestinian service sector. Such investigation was based on the extension of many models available in the literature, namely, technology acceptance model (TAM) with theory of planned behavior (TPB), Yale model of communication and persuasion, perceived risk, social risk and organizations role. To this end, pertinent data from banking, governmental, health care, insurance, internet providing, logistics, telecommunication and academic organizations working in Palestine, was gathered via questionnaires and interviews. The analysis of collected data indicates that perceived ease of use, attitude, intention, and communication are the most significant factors influencing e-HRM technology adoption in the targeted organizations. On the other hand, perceived risk, system security, organization’s role, and availability of resources are found to be less influential factors on e-HRM technology adoption.
