Abstract

At the dawn of the 5th Industrial Revolution, the Human Resource Department (HRD), at least for large enterprises, is attempting to modernize its procedures by integrating data analytics technology into its various functions. This study performs a systematic literature review of Human Resources Analytics (HRA), examining first the 1984–1999 period, which is considered the precursor era of data analytics and HRD’s first attempt to effectively analyze its data, continuing with the 2000–2018 period, which is the period when research on the use of analytics in the HRD was launched, and reaching the current period (2018–2022), when the use of analytics in the HRD was fully developed. One hundred and forty-three relevant researches published in well-recognized scientific journals have been identified and studied, in an attempt to present a comprehensive study on the use of HRA.
