Abstract
Although people analytics is a fast-emerging field with importance to HRD, HRD researchers still lack a comprehensive understanding of it. This study examines the current body of knowledge in people analytics through the lens of human resource (HR) development by performing an integrative literature review of 91 articles. This study identifies five categories of knowledge: (1) definitions and boundaries of terms, (2) building blocks of people analytics in organizations, (3) types of analytics, (4) ethical issues related to people analytics, and (5) applications of people analytics to the HRD field. This study makes theoretical and practical contributions to the field of HR development by exploring the current state of people analytics and people analytics’ application to HR development practice. It also enhances scholars’ understanding of people analytics within HR development boundaries and provides insights for future research. Finally, this study provides practical guidance for HR development practitioners seeking to leverage people analytics in their work.
期刊介绍:
As described elsewhere, Human Resource Development Review is a theory development journal for scholars of human resource development and related disciplines. Human Resource Development Review publishes articles that make theoretical contributions on theory development, foundations of HRD, theory building methods, and integrative reviews of the relevant literature. Papers whose central focus is empirical findings, including empirical method and design are not considered for publication in Human Resource Development Review. This journal encourages submissions that provide new theoretical insights to advance our understanding of human resource development and related disciplines. Such papers may include syntheses of existing bodies of theory, new substantive theories, exploratory conceptual models, taxonomies and typology developed as foundations for theory, treatises in formal theory construction, papers on the history of theory, critique of theory that includes alternative research propositions, metatheory, and integrative literature reviews with strong theoretical implications. Papers addressing foundations of HRD might address philosophies of HRD, historical foundations, definitions of the field, conceptual organization of the field, and ethical foundations. Human Resource Development Review takes a multi-paradigm view of theory building so submissions from different paradigms are encouraged.
