Human resource management approaches in information technology

This article deals with theoretical and methodological developments in Human Resource Management (HRM). HRM is developing along with ongoing technological and economic transformations. Information and digital components have transformed organizations in recent decades, and this naturally affects all levels of management. The article analyzes theoretical and methodological approaches to HRM in the context of the IT paradigm. The article presents the evolution of fundamental approaches to HRM, the conditions for this evolution with the development of IT and the information economy, and highlights the features of each approach. Based on a literature review, the article outlines main principles of Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0, which reflect approaches to high-tech industrial production. It studies the features of integration of the I4.0 and I5.0 with HRM. The paper also investigates the emergence of HRM 4.0 and HRM 5.0. HRM 4.0 and 5.0 are management theories concerning the mass implementation of IT. HRM 4.0 and 5.0 differ in their basic principles: HRM 4.0 is focused on maximizing productivity; HRM 5.0 on effective cooperation between people and machines. Despite "human-centric sustainable development” being based on the idea of soft, stimulating management under the I5.0, HRM 5.0 has a poorly developed theoretical and methodological base, and the transition from HRM 4.0 to HRM 5.0 is associated with some difficulties that will not allow the implementation of the human-centric approach in the foreseeable future.
