Abstract: This study aims at investigating the effect of digital HRM practices on employee motivation and
hence employee job performance, or in other words, the mediating role of employee motivation
between digital HRM practices and employee job performance. Two digital HRM practices were
used in this study: digital training and digital performance appraisal. Collecting data using a valid
and reliable questionnaire from employees at industrial companies, the results show that digital training
had significant effects on both employee motivation and job performance, digital performance
appraisal had significant effects on employee motivation and performance appraisal, and employee
motivation exerted a significant effect on job performance. Consequently, it was approved that employee
motivation partially mediated the effect of digital HRM practices on job performance. It was
concluded that skilled employees who are aware of their performance level are motivated to show
higher levels of job performance. Theoretically, the study called scholars to carry out further results
to examine the effects of other HRM practices on job performance through employee motivation.
Empirically, organizations are requested to conduct training sessions and assess employee performance
using digital means.
