Purpose – This paper brings arguments for the acceptance and applicability of the new technologies as basis for globalization and organizations’ market performance improvement. Methodology/approach – Questionnaire based research was performed on a sample of 363 Romanian respondents. Different approaches regarding the research subject were defined and tested using SPSS. Exploratory factor analysis was used to define classes of reasons for not implementing the new technologies and groups of training areas that would increase work performance. Findings – The main conclusion shows a positive perception and willingness of respondents to use the new technologies. High costs and lack of training are the main reasons, according to the respondents, that make the use of the new technologies difficult. Research limitations/implications – The research was not random, it was based on reasoning, because, due to the time it took to perform the research, it would have been difficult to identify the available respondents based on a random sampling. Practical implications – This paper points out some of the human resources management’s challenges and the importance of the training programs, in order to prepare people and organizations to handle the use of the new and complex technologies. Originality/value – This research leads to useful recommendations for the human resources management, in the context of adopting the new technologies in order to improve the organizational performances. |
