Abstract
Human Resource (HR) analytics is emerging as a must-have capability for organisations. The readiness of HR professionals is vital for implementing HR analytics. This paper aims to understand the adoption of HR analytics among HR professionals. The authors empirically explored the adoption of HR analytics by applying the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT), a prominent technology adoption model developed by Venkatesh et al. (2003). HR professionals from various industries were approached to study the variables of technology adoption in light of HR analytics. This paper aims to understand the adoption of HR analytics among HR professionals. HR professionals from various industries were approached to study the variables of technology adoption in light of HR analytics. The study's findings show a significant relationship between performance expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions on the adoption of HR analytics among HR professionals. Effort expectancy has no substantial relation to adopting HR analytics among HR professionals. This paper brings out implications from the research towards the adoption of HR analytics. Senior managers need to guide HR professionals, and organisations must create the necessary infrastructure to enable HR professionals to adopt HR analytics. This paper assumes value by providing insights into the approaches to be followed by organisations towards the speedy adoption of HR analytics by HR professionals.
