Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of technological advancements on HR practices and leadership in Brazil.
Methodology: The study adopted a desktop methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low-cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library.
Results: The literature review shows that technology has greatly impacted HR practices and leadership in Brazil. The adoption of technology can improve recruitment, training, and performance management, as well as facilitate remote work and enhance communication within organizations. Effective leaders must possess skills to identify relevant technology, manage change, and foster innovation. However, challenges such as infrastructure, access to technology, and resistance to change exist. Further research is needed to understand these barriers and how to overcome them. Overall, technology has the potential to transform HR practices and leadership in Brazil.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study highlights the impact of technological advancements on HR practices and leadership in Brazil. It emphasizes the need for organizations to adapt and incorporate technology in their HR practices and the role of leadership in driving this transformation. The study identifies the importance of technology in improving recruitment, performance management, and employee development, leading to improved organizational performance and employee satisfaction. Leaders must effectively communicate the benefits of technology and provide necessary training and support. The findings inform policy makers and organizations on strategies to leverage technology, prioritizing investments in infrastructure and skills development. The study provides a theoretical framework and practical insights for future research and policy development aimed at improving HR practices and leadership in Brazil.
