Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 12
Abstract
This paper attempts a prospective analysis of the application of a growing Human Resource Philosophy - Digital HR - to government bureaucracies, being large scale employers who recruit and deploy workforce in the delivery of public services. There exist in the global HR literature references to the pivotal place of the human resource for organizational success. It is the interest of this paper, however, to examine the emergent interplay between the trio of digital transformation, public sector workforce planning and sustainable governance. In the ultimate the paper analytically examines the prospects of the adoption of E-HR Management philosophy and practices in the management of the human resources of government ministries, departments and agencies in developing nations. Accordingly, the paper explored a conceptual analysis of the following: digitization, digitalization digital transformation and sustainable governance, among others. The paper discovered that for effective human resources planning architecture, government workforce managers in developing nations stand to benefit from the digital transformation which E-HR engenders. Conversely, the paper discovered that a well managed Public Service workforce will birth a sustainable governance mechanism for the delivery of common goods; security, health and education, among others. While digital HR not only transforms prevailing prebendal personnel processes to objective, transparent and accountable processes, it also invariably births a functional mechanism for sustainable development. In conclusion, the paper recommends policy frameworks for digital transformation of the planning and management of public sector workforce in developing nations, for sustainable governance.
