Evidence-based review of e-HRM on strategic human resource management plays a crucial role for HR managers. The review of the literature reveals that numerous studies have been conducted to comprehend how modern HR management teams in several organizations have successfully developed a set of interrelated internal delivery and professional service strategies to meet the external challenges posed by modern organizations’ business strategies and the longer-term brand recognition and company’s reputation drivers. The aim of this research is to establish whether or not enhancing strategic human resource management is heavily dependent on evidence-based e-HRM in accordance with the adoption of the Saudi Arabia e-HRM system, which enhanced the effectiveness of enhancing strategic human resource management. This study has been conducted at the management level of the private and government sectors in Saudi Arabia. The total number of respondents in this study is 150, and the data analysis tool used in this study is SPSS-22. The study highlighted the significant impact of evidence-based E-HRM on strategic human resource management. E-HRM plays a significant role in improving decision making, enhancing human capital, training, and performance assessment of employees, leading to the strategic advantage. The regression analysis showed a significant positive impact of E-HRM on strategic human resource management.
