Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine how high-performance human resource initiatives and creative employee behavior affect the adoption of digital transformation. There hasn't been much study done on how to employ human resources in digital transformation. The primary goal of this study is to determine which high performance human resource practices have the greatest impact on employee innovation and how those practices affect both employee creativity and company digital transformation. The study's focus is first-hand information. In this examination, a quantitative research design is employed. All IT professionals working in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, make up the population used in this study. Data collection is done using a convenience sampling strategy. IT staff members were given a total of 350 questionnaires; 310 of them were returned, and 300 of them were chosen for analysis. The research might benefit from multilevel and longitudinal studies that incorporate companies from different industries. The current study found extensive training, selective staffing, and rewards are essential steps in the digital transformation process to encourage employee innovative behavior.
