Technological developments in the Industry 4.0 era have driven significant digital transformation in various sectors, including human resource management. Electronic Human Resource Management (E-HRM) is a crucial innovation that enables integrated, digital-based HR management processes. This study aims to analyze the benefits, barriers, and optimization strategies for implementing E-HRM to improve organizational efficiency. The method used was a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of 70 selected articles from the Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases, with the PRISMA protocol applied in the literature selection process. The results show that implementing E-HRM can have a positive impact on organizational efficiency by accelerating administrative processes, saving operational costs, increasing data accuracy, and enabling faster, data-driven decision-making. However, several obstacles such as organizational cultural resistance, low digital literacy, limited technological infrastructure, and high initial implementation costs are challenges that need to be overcome. Recommended optimization strategies include ongoing digital literacy training, top management support, and the integration of artificial intelligence-based technology. These findings confirm that E-HRM can be a major catalyst in improving organizational efficiency and competitiveness in the era of digital transformation.
