Abstract
This study examines gender differences in perceptions of DHRMP among employees in the banking sector. The analysis focuses on five dimensions of DHRMP, namely E-Recruitment and Selection, Digital Training and Development, E-Performance Appraisal, Employee Self-Service Systems, and Digital Communication and Engagement. Data were collected from 75 banking employees, comprising 52 male and 23 female respondents. Independent sample t-test results reveal statistically significant gender differences across all dimensions of DHRMP. Female employees reported higher mean scores than male employees in E-Recruitment and Selection (M = 4.67, SD = 0.35), Digital Training and Development (M = 4.48, SD = 0.44), E-Performance Appraisal (M = 4.55, SD = 0.42), Employee Self-Service Systems (M = 4.37, SD = 0.91), and Digital Communication and Engagement (M = 4.07, SD = 0.79). The overall DHRMP score also indicates a significant difference between male (M = 3.91, SD = 0.55) and female employees (M = 4.43, SD = 0.45), with a t-value of 3.967 (p = 0.001). The findings suggest that female employees exhibit more favourable perceptions toward digital HR practices than their male counterparts. The study highlights the importance of adopting gender-sensitive strategies to enhance the effectiveness and acceptance of digital HR initiatives in the banking sector, thereby supporting employee engagement, operational efficiency, and organizational performance.
