The article has shed light on the effect of information technology on human resource
practices. While conducting the research, the author has examined the effectiveness of
information technology in order to bring modern changes in the human resource department in
an organization. It cannot be denied that HR goals have become more attractive due to
appropriate applications of information technology in the business operations. According to the
author, the retention process in the organization can also bee affected by its IT operations. The
communication system is being considered as an effective key driver in successful business
operations, which is being influenced by modern technological practices (Stone et al., 2015).
Through this research, the researcher has aimed to introduce the potential limitations and
advantages of information technology on Human resource management. Exemplifying the
article, it has been identified that the author has highlighted the values of technology in order to
introduce modern human resource practices in the organization. However, it is true that the
author has shed light on the global industry and Human resource practices. In that case,
depending on different organizational operations, the situation may differ. It can be assumed that
the article can be beneficial for the organizations to bring technological influence in the future
human resource operations.

In this article, a structurational technological model has been shown, which has provided a strong
framework in terms of considering the technological operations in human activities. Through this
article, the author has tried to develop a co-relation between technological innovation and human
activities. The different logical framework such as service ecosystem and S-D logic have been
implemented for highlighting the scope of technology for influencing human actions (Akaka &
Vargo, 2014). It cannot be denied that the information technology has been used for co-creating
the values for understanding the relationship between technology and human capabilities.
Analyzing the study, it can be said that in order to consider technology as an operant resource,
the service providers can be more encompassed for developing systematical approaches in the
workplace. This will be beneficial in terms of collaborating the value and innovation in a service
system. However, it is true that the positive impacts of information technology have been
highlighted in this article, where the negative impacts are equally important. It cannot be denied
that some of the cases, the service-dominant logics become harder to be implemented by the
service providers.
