Abstract:
The Asia region is expected to grow fastest in HR analytics due to rapid digital transformation. The importance of HR analytics is that it enables organizations to make evidence-based strategic business decisions, increasing organizational effectiveness and thereby achieving competitive advantage. However, despite this significance, adoption of HR analytics and academic research remains at a lower level. The objectives of this research paper are to understand the current status of HR analytics, explore the challenges and barriers to implementing HR analytics and build a theoretical framework to understand the relationship between the contextual factors and HR analytics implementation. In this study Sri Lanka is considered the empirical point of study.
