Abstract :
With the advent of digital technology and access to huge volume, speed and variety of data, big data analytics has become an inevitable thing in human resource management. Although research has paid increasing attention to data analytics in human resource management, and researchers have realized the importance of using a big data-based approach in human resource management, there is still a gap in this research area. Therefore, due to the growing interest in this field, there is a need for a complete analysis of the structure and development of this research topic. Hence, the aim of this study is to provide an in-depth understanding of big data analytics research in human resource management that evaluates past and present trends through bibliometric analysis of existing research. The findings from the analysis provide knowledge structure and mapping research streams of data analytics in human resource management. Therefore, in addition to enriching the literature of the big data-based approach in human resource management by integrating bibliometric analysis, the present study contributes to a better understanding of researchers in this research field by identifying the patterns in the current literature.
