Digitalization on HR Management Processes at Universities – a Systematic Literature Review

This contribution focuses on the digitalization of internal higher education processes in order to assess the digitalization status of HR management at German universities, using the methodology of a systematic literature review (SLR). To this end, the current publications on the digitalization of the higher education sector were analyzed. As a result, it was found that the majority of existing research focuses on the digitalization of teaching, future skills, and the necessary technologies for transforming teaching activities. Thus, this paper provides a previously less considered scientific perspective on the process level of universities through digitalization.

Abstract

This contribution focuses on the digitalization of internal higher education processes in order to assess the digitalization status of HR management at German universities, using the methodology of a systematic literature review (SLR). To this end, the current publications on the digitalization of the higher education sector were analyzed. As a result, it was found that the majority of existing research focuses on the digitalization of teaching, future skills, and the necessary technologies for transforming teaching activities. Thus, this paper provides a previously less considered scientific perspective on the process level of universities through digitalization.
