Technological Organizational Environmental Determinants of Human Resource Analytics Adoption

Managing human resources by using big data is a contemporary trend in the field of human resource management. This article aims to contribute to the available literature on human resource analytics. The main research problem of this study is “What are the key determinants of human resource analytics adoption?” This study is mainly descriptive study based on Technological- Organizational- Environmental framework. Therefore, it can be identified three research questions as; (1) What are the technological determinants of human resource analytics adoption?”, (2) “What are the organizational determinants of human resource analytics adoption?” and (3) “What are the environmental determinants of human resource analytics adoption?”. Comprehensive literature on scholarly papers published in recent five years was reviewed to address the research questions. These papers were searched in three databases which are Emerald Insight, ScienceDirect and ResearchGate. Then 14 scholarly papers were filtered with abstract review and used for the content analysis. It can be observed that, organizational determinants are the most frequent determinants while environmental determinants are the least frequent determinant in the available literature. To become effective in human resource analytics adoption, it is required to pay more and enough attention to the technological determinants like; 1) Compatibilities among systems, 2) Data authenticity, 3) Fairness of algorithms, 4) IT infrastructure & capability and 5) Complexity in human resource analytics projects. Also, it is required to pay more and enough attention to the organizational determinants like; 1) Analytical Competencies, 2) Strategic business view, 3) Focus on business issues, 4) Employee engagement and 5) Leadership support. To become effective in HRA adoption, it is required to pay enough attention to the environmental determinants like;.1) Environment of mistrust, 2) Technostress in the society, 3) Multi infrastructure nature, 4) Competitive pressure and 5) Data governance factors. Making the HRA adoption successful is very important because only a successful HRA adoption leads to become a strategic partner in the present competitive corporate environment.
