abstract

This study examines how the integration of digital human resource (HR) tools influences managerial efficiency within India’s Oil Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). Employing a mixed-methods research design, data were collected through structured questionnaires and secondary sources to analyze key digital HR applications-such as e-recruitment platforms, digital performance dashboards, and e-learning systems-and their effects on HR practices and overall efficiency. Statistical techniques including Pearson correlations, ANOVA, and descriptive analyses were used to test hypotheses derived from established HRM frameworks. Findings reveal that the use of digital HR tools is significantly and positively associated with enhanced managerial efficiency. The study not only validates theoretical models such as the Harvard Framework and the Michigan Model but also highlights practical implications for policy makers and organizational leaders. By providing recommendations for digital transformation and continuous benchmarking, the research offers a roadmap for Oil PSUs to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
