Digitalization and digital technologies is gaining increased influence in today's society and contribute to many societal changes, globally as well as locally. This has a great impact on organizations, as well as the work methods within these. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to study how the HR function and the role of HR have been altered by the digital transformation and which effects this may lead to. In order to find trends and identify effects, a systematic literature review has been used as a way to gain a deeper understanding of how HR has been affected by digitalization. The study has shown that digitalization has contributed to a major change in HR's role in the organization. Digital technologies open up new ways of working and new focus areas for HR, and contribute to cost-effectiveness as it frees administrative work and creates opportunities for reaching out to broad networks.
