| Internet has transformed our lives and the way we communicate, how we learn, how we work and spend free time, |
| in essence - it has more or less changed every aspect of human society one can think of. This paper deals with the |
| influence of Internet and information technology on work and human resource management. It observes main |
| novelties and (inevitably coming) changes in areas of staffing, motivating and leading and discusses possible |
| adaptations of organization and business. To discover the mentioned changes and consequences, firstly we try to |
| broadly assert present condition in the field, both globally and in Slovenia, and outline promising future trends. |
| Finally, combining that with elements of human-resource management we try to predict basic consequences that IT |
| will have on the way employees are rewarded and the way new employees are acquired. |
| Keywords human resource management, knowledge economy, Internet and IT |
