Abstract

The purpose of this article is to review the extant literature on electronic-leadership (e-leadership) and illustrate how it has impacted human resource management. First, a brief introduction will explain how e-leadership can enhance communication between leaders and followers, and then a background section provides various definitions of e-leadership and speci- fies its importance for today’s leaders. The third section shows the connection between e-leadership and human resource management. This is followed by a section on future trends that provide a frank appellation of prospects, promises, and processes of e-leadership. And finally, a conclusion offers ideas of how e-leadership can be implemented by leaders across a myriad of both profit- and non-profit businesses. Competitive advantage and performance of the organization is part of the changing role of human resources today (Dessler, 2006). Ergo, electronic-leadership offers human resource professionals an innovative way to communicate, manage, and lead. The information age has brought with it a host of new technologies and an over abundance of choices amongst them. Leaders are hard-pressed to figure out the applications for each of these technological innovations, let alone which ones to adopt and subsequently implement (McAfee, 2006).
