Purpose: The aim of this paper is to present a study of available literature on the digitization of HR, the current scenarios, limitations and to provide a path for future research for this field of study. Design/Methodology/Approach: Research papers were collected on Digitization of HR from various journals available at different online databases. Papers were classified in different categories and tabulated under various classes. A total of 50 research paper sources were studied and assessed in terms of nature of research, level of analysis and application. Findings: As organizations continue to search for ways to be more responsive, flexible, strategic and efficient, HR managers are being forced to explore more innovative methods of performing their HR activities to support these strategic initiatives. An architectural framework can be used to understand and map the underlying structure of virtual HR. Research Limitations/Implications: The findings of this paper can be generalized only to the specific population of online databases selected for this research for a given period of time and not for the entire universe of the digitization literature. There may be various unexploited areas for future research in terms of different variables.
