| Abstract: | Human Resource analytics (HRA) involves the usage of data and data-based analysis as a basis for decision making in companies and is currently a hot topic in HR. Many expect HRA to be supportive in the context of HR developing into a strategic partner to the business. The importance of HR in taking on this role is emphasized also in the academic literature; however, the capability of HRA in enhancing this process is unclear due to the topicality of HRA and the fact that organizations are still at the beginning of implementing this new tool to support decision making. This study aims at providing first insights into currently felt effects after the implementation of HRA in companies that have already started using it. This study addresses the issues of why companies implement HRA, whether HRA is leading to expected outcomes, whether HRA is helping the HR department in becoming a strategic partner to the business, and whether success with HRA is dependent on certain contextual factors. In order to answer these questions, in-depth interviews were conducted with interviewees from the HR department of companies that already use HRA. |
