Abstract

This study examined the effect of Digital Human Resource Management Systems (DHRMS) on employee productivity in the Ondo State Civil Service. Adopting a descriptive survey design, data were collected from 395 civil servants across selected ministries in Ondo State and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Chi-square techniques. The findings revealed that digital literacy significantly influences employee motivation (χ² = 766.908, df = 16, p < .05), employee performance (χ² = 626.334, df = 16, p < .05), and ICT-enabled work processes (χ² = 582.066, df = 16, p < .05). The study concludes that the adoption of digital HR systems enhances employee productivity by improving efficiency, communication, collaboration, and access to organizational resources. It recommends that government invest in digital HR infrastructure, continuous digital literacy training, integrated HRMS platforms, and digital performance management systems.
