With the things that go towards the efficiency of ICT usage in HRM, measuring and evaluating have become one of the key goals for researchers and practitioners. When it is related to crisis moments like the COVID-19 pandemic whereas considering the performance of organizations it becomes practically important to examine the level of performance efficiency in HRM. Therefore, in this study, some aspects are explored to know the efficiency of HRM performance with the application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in its functions maintaining social distance during the COVID-19 pandemic. While using the regression model, people management, regular HR activities, HR payroll and rewards, and performance evaluation and promotion are taken as independent variables while the HR performance efficiency is taken as a dependent variable. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to examine the efficiency of HR functions during the pandemic following principal component analysis. The use of ICT assures Human resource management performance efficiency without taking face-to-face interaction during the pandemic. Further, the findings will help practitioners to adopt ICT in the HRM perspective of all organizations and to make the decision about how much modification needs to be done to maximize overall efficiency within the limited resources during any pandemic.
