Human resource management is becoming complex with the influx of artificial intelligence and machine learning in Industry 4.0. There is an increasing trend of deploying IT to HRM in the form of HR analytics, HRIS, and so on. The current study is directed towards studying how Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS) have resulted in a digital transformation of HRM practices and its indirect impact on enhancing employee engagement and performance. Data was collected from four public sector undertakings from Odisha, and a survey questionnaire was administered to them. The first part of the two-part questionnaire consisted of demographic questions, and the second part consisted of 56 forced-choice Likert-type questions. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling were attempted using SPSS 23 and AMOS 18 for hypothesis testing. The results of hypothesis testing showed a significant effect of HRIS implementation on HR practices and Employee Engagement, which in turn was found to have a significant impact on Employee Performance.
