ICT and Human Resource Effects on the App and Gig Economy of Nigeria

Abstract

Given the increasing use of IT in organisations, the eventuality is that a number of challenges are likely to face the HR function, as well as the management of employees. For example, many firms will have to develop strategies through which they might maximise benefits associated with the use of IT in HR operations (such as improving the accuracy of decision-making and also building efficiencies) while ensuring further that they address any potential negative outcomes that the IT might pose on the HR function. This study examines the effects of ICT and human resource operations on the App and Gig economy, with particular emphasis on the communication technology concept.
