ABSTRACT:

This research aims to understand how organisational culture and innovation climate influence the adoption of digital technologies in human resource management (HRM) practices in the public sector, particularly in border regions. In this context, organisational culture encompasses the values and norms present in an organisation that can support or hinder change, while innovation climate refers to an atmosphere that encourages creativity and acceptance of new technologies. This research method uses a literature study approach with the following steps: 1. Literature Search: Collecting relevant sources on the application of digital technology in HRM. 2. Initial Screening: Screening literary works based on title and abstract. 3. Inclusion Criteria: Establishing criteria to select the analysed literature. 4. Literature Analysis: Analysed the selected literature to synthesise findings and relationships between factors. 5. Recommendations: Provide recommendations for organisations in the public sector. The results showed that an organisational culture that supports change and innovation positively contributes to the adoption of digital technology in human resource management (HRM). In addition, a positive innovation climate, with support for innovative behaviour, also promotes successful adoption. However, challenges in the public sector, such as limited infrastructure, may affect organisational readiness to adopt new technologies. The study's conclusions suggest that an organisational culture that supports change and a climate of innovation play an important role in the adoption of digital technologies in human resource management (HRM), especially in the public sector. Recommendations for future research include focusing on the context of border regions, conducting longitudinal studies to understand the evolution of technology adoption, as well as exploring other factors such as infrastructure and government support that may influence the adoption process.
