In this study, drawing from adaptive structuration theory (AST) and embeddedness theory, we investigate the relationship between the interaction of HRM digitalization and HRM system maturity on firm performance as well as the moderating role played by HR strategic and business involvement. On the basis of a sample of 211 listed enterprises of China, our results indicate that the interaction of HRM digitalization and HRM system maturity is positively related to firm performance and that the relationship is strengthened by HR strategic and business involvement. The implications of our findings for research and practice are discussed.
