Abstract :The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of technology readiness on technology acceptance in the eHRM field. The data for this study were collected from 86 Human Resource (HR) managers representing top 500 largest private sector companies in Turkey. The research model was based on two theories: Parasuraman’s technology readiness and Davis' technology acceptance model. The results of the study showed that optimism and innovativeness of technology readiness positively influenced perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use, but discomfort and insecurity have no positive effects on them.
