Abstract

Despite the prominence and the exponential number of research undertaken on digital human resource management and related concepts such as the digitisation of human resource management, the digital transformation of human resource management, and the digital disruption of human resource management, especially in the global north, the concept has still not been well established and researched in Africa. This chapter, therefore, examines the acceptability and practicability of digital HRM in Nigeria. Drawing on 31 semi-structured interviews with human resource managers, the article found that the acceptability and practicability of digital HRM in Nigeria are still far-off and almost hypothetical at the moment. We found that organisations and human resource managers are affixed to the old methods of delivering human resource functions, lack of required skills to go digital, and lack digital mindsets. We thus suggest that a ‘growth mindset’ rather than a ‘fixed mindset’ will enhance acceptability and adaptability of digital HRM, employee potentials, and organisational outcomes in Nigeria.
