Adoption of Human Resource Technology (HRT): Its Implication on Entrepreneurs and Micro Scale Industries’ (MSI) Employee Performance in Yobe State

Abstract

This study examines the impact of adopting the implementation of technology on HR practices on employees of entrepreneurs and MSI in Yobe State, Nigeria. The research explores the barriers and enablers of technology adoption in HR practices, considering factors such as limited access to technological infrastructure, the digital divide among the workforce, data security concerns, and resistance to change. The findings highlight the challenges faced by organizations in Yobe State in adopting and effectively utilizing HR technologies. Limited access to technological infrastructure and disparities in digital skills among employees emerge as significant barriers. The data security concerns and resistance to change hinder technology adoption efforts. The study emphasizes the need for strategies and enablers to overcome these barriers and promote successful technology adoption in HRT practices. The research identifies gaps in the existing literature and highlights the need for further studies that specifically address the context of Yobe State. By addressing these research gaps, entrepreneurs and MSI in Yobe State can better understand the implications of technology adoption on their HR practices and develop effective strategies for successful implementation.
