| description | This study aims to explore the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities (KSA) and Key Responsibility Areas (KRA) of
data scientists supporting the people analytics team in developing a competency model based on human capital theory
and competency-based HR model. We systematically identify key knowledge, skills, abilities, and key responsibilities
for data scientists working in people analytics amid the emerging and ever-expanding role of data scientists. We
analyzed the 100 Job advertisements collected from Indian job portals and 20 in-depth semi-structured interviews with
data scientists working in people analytics. We follow the competency-developing framework proposed by Campion et
al. (2011) and adopted by McCartney et al. (2021). This study offers evidence-based insights into the ever-expanding
role competencies of HR analytics-specific data scientists and contributes to the existing literature on people analytics.
It provides a list of competencies required to perform as a data scientist in people analytics. Besides domain-specific
technical knowledge, they require a range of soft skills like “storytelling and communication” and consulting; HR, and
business acumen competencies. The main implication of this study is to train data scientists intended to work in people
analytics and recruitment and selection. This study provides an evidence-based competency model for data scientists
who intend to work in the people analytics domain. It links the model to the Competency-based HR model and Human
Capital Theory. |
