Abstract:This is a research about the Human Resource Management, the e-HRM and the e-HRM readiness of companies in Kuwait. The purpose of the research is to get more insights of Human Resource Management in Kuwait and give the readers more information about the situation in Kuwait. There is not enough literature about HRM in Kuwait, so this research will give a good view of the HRM, the e- HRM and the e-HRM readiness of companies in Kuwait. In the research the following interview questions have been answered: Main question: “What are the characteristics of HRM in Kuwait? And to what extent are companies in Kuwait ready for e-HRM?” And the sub questions: - “What is HRM and e-HRM?” - “What are the characteristics of HRM and e-HRM in Kuwait?” - “What is e-HRM readiness and to what extend is Kuwait e-HRM ready?” The findings are based on the interviews with the HR-managers from the following six companies: Al- Sayer Group, Golfcryo, Caribou Coffee, Independent Petroleum Group, Diyar United Company and Yiaco Medical. The companies are very diverse and they are selected with the purpose to get a representative mix of companies in different sectors, originally from different countries and with different sizes. To analyze the HRM, e-HRM and the e-HRM readiness were several models, types and practices used. The research takes care of the following aspects of HRM: inflow of personnel, run-through of personnel, outflow of personnel, Harvard vs. Michigan model, contradiction between Personnel Management and HRM, types of HRM, e-HRM in Kuwait and e-HRM readiness.
