Abstract:
Information technology is an integral part of organisational life, spilling over into operational functions of the
organisations. Anchored in the resource-based theory of the firm and the Ability-Motivation-Opportunity theory, the
study aims to investigate the direct and combined effects of human resource management practices and information
technology on firm performance. Data were garnered from 147 financial and non-financial firm managers using a
convenience sampling technique, with a self-administrated questionnaire. As a caveat, reliability and validity of the
measures, and common method variance were examined. The results confirms that human resource management
practices significantly contribute to firm performance . The combined effect of human resource management
practices with information technology has significantly positively related to firm performance such the positive
relationship between human resource management practices and firm performance is stronger at a high usage of
technology than at low usage.
