This study examines the relationship between digital transformation and human resource management (HRM) practices in public universities in the United Arab Emirates via a synthesis of Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capabilities Theory. Despite the growing interest in digital transformation, limited research has examined its implications within public universities in the United Arab Emirates. Adopting a conceptual approach, this paper provides a comprehensive framework that connects the important elements of digital transformation, comprising technological infrastructure, digital transformation culture, and human resource capabilities, to the core HRM practices, namely recruitment, training, and performance appraisal. This study contributes to the existing literature by proposing a dual conceptualization of digital transformation as both a strategic resource and an adaptive capability that enhances HRM effectiveness. Moreover, the current study proposes a structured questionnaire approach for future empirical validation using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). It is expected that future empirical findings will demonstrate that it is not only the size of technology investment, but also the organization’s ability to develop dynamic capabilities like organizational learning and strategic flexibility that mediate the relationship between digital transformation and HRM practices. Despite the growing interest in digital transformation, limited research has examined its implications within public universities in the United Arab Emirates. In particular, little is known about the underlying mechanisms through which digital transformation influences HRM practices, especially the mediating role of dynamic capabilities. Furthermore, the integration of the Resource-Based View and Dynamic Capabilities Theory in explaining this relationship remains underexplored in higher education contexts. Accordingly, this study aims to develop a conceptual framework that explains the relationship between digital transformation and HRM practices in UAE public universities. The study draws theoretical implications through the integration of RBV and the dynamic capabilities perspective into the ecosystem domain of digital HRM, as well as for university leaders and policymakers who would design systematic processes to align digital transformation initiatives in a way that serves human resource strategies. It highlights the need to create a digital culture, develop workforce digital competencies, and take an integrated approach to build sustainable institutional performance.

<p>In today’s world of digital technologies, cultural heritage institutions, particularly in developed countries, are seeking ways to create national digital memories for the future of the citizenry. However, rapidly developing technologies and their concomitant technological obsolescence put future memories at risk. The challenge is enormous in developing countries that, when compared to their developed counterparts, lack adequate resources and technologies for effective digital resources management and preservation. As a developing country, Ghana appears ready to face the challenges of effective digital resources management. The country has developed programmes and a national policy on information and communication technologies (ICTs) for accelerated development. However, Ghana does not appear to be effective in managing or preserving digital cultural heritage resources. An interpretive case research design involving 27 semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders from 23 institutions was used to explore the various contextual factors influencing the management and preservation of digital cultural heritage resources (or DPM). Rogers’ (2003) “diffusion of innovation” (DOI) theory and Davies’ (2000) “policy, strategy and resources” (PSR) troika model provided a basis for a preliminary model of factors to guide the research. Although the DPM innovation was not fully diffused in Ghana, related activities at the base, middle and higher levels of the Ghanaian social system were unintentionally fostering the adoption process. Four main clusters of contextual factors that were influencing the DPM adoption process in Ghana were identified: attitudinal, resources-related, policy-related, and managerial factors. Key stakeholders perceived the design of appropriate strategies, adequate resource allocation, and proper implementation of policies as key enabling factors for effective adoption of DPM in Ghana. However, a general lack of interest in cultural institutions (libraries, archives and museums) and in information management on the part of decision makers and the Ghanaian stakeholders as a whole was found to hinder DPM adoption. This study extends Information Systems (IS) research involving DOI theory and the PSR troika model into a developing country context. Attitudinal-based complexities involving misunderstandings among various tribal groups in Ghana, and resources-based complexities surrounding technology access and use, were found from the interview data and were added to the initial model which was expanded to aid in understanding the various contextual factors that influence DPM adoption in Ghana. In addition to the study contributing to theoretical understandings in IS research, it provides Ghanaian policy developers with an empirical base for accelerating adoption of DPM in Ghana. It also provides New Zealand and other digital preservation advanced countries with a deeper understanding from which to provide contextually designed advisory services to other developing countries (particularly in the Pacific Island regions) as it enables the contextual understanding of the factors from Ghana.</p>

The management of civil servant (ASN) transfers and the proper inclusion of academic titles are crucial aspects of human resource administration within public institutions. This study examines the implementation of mutation management and title inclusion practices at the Forestry Office of West Papua Province, aiming to evaluate their effectiveness in promoting professional competence and organizational efficiency. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach, using document analysis, interviews with key personnel, and observation of internal procedures. The data were analyzed thematically to identify patterns, challenges, and best practices in managing ASN movements and official title registration. Findings indicate that while the Forestry Office has established clear procedures for employee transfers and title documentation, several challenges persist. These include inconsistencies in title verification, delayed updates in personnel records, and limited understanding among staff regarding the regulations governing mutations and title usage. Despite these challenges, the structured approach to mutations (transfers) ensures equitable personnel distribution across divisions and aligns human resources with strategic organizational needs. Moreover, proper title inclusion enhances recognition of educational achievements, contributes to employee morale, and strengthens the professional image of the institution. The study highlights the importance of continuous monitoring, staff training, and the adoption of digital human resource management systems to streamline mutation processes and maintain accurate personnel records. Recommendations include standardizing title verification procedures, improving communication of policies, and integrating technology to support real-time updates of ASN data. This research contributes to a better understanding of civil servant management practices in regional government institutions, offering insights that can be applied to enhance professionalism, accountability, and efficiency in the public sector.
