This study examines the impact of human resource information systems (HRIS) and human resource big data (HRBD) on HR analytics, organizational agility (OA), and operational performance (OP) in India’s construction sector. Furthermore, the study explores the mediating role of HR analytics in these relationships, highlighting its significance in leveraging HR technology for enhanced organizational outcomes.
Data were collected from 330 HR managers in the Indian construction industry, and the proposed model was analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 4.0.
The findings reveal that HRIS and HRBD positive influence on HR analytics, which, in turn, positively influences OA and OP. Moreover, HR analytics acts as a partial mediator, underscoring its crucial role in optimizing HR technology for improved agility and performance.
From a practical perspective, the study recommends that organizations invest in advanced HRIS and HRBD tools to strengthen HR analytics capabilities, thereby improving workforce management, operational efficiency, and market responsiveness.
The novelty of this research lies in its focus on the Indian construction sector, providing empirical evidence of the mediating role of HR analytics. By establishing a framework linking HR technology to organizational outcomes, this study contributes to the existing body of knowledge on HR analytics and its strategic implications.
