| description | The paper aims to understand the research themes evolved from 2011-2024 in Human resource (HR) technology field and highlight key HR technology roles with STARA (Smart Technology, AI, Robotics and Algorithms) competencies. To capture the technology shift and research themes in the technology HR field pre- and post-pandemic period, we conducted bibliometric analysis for the two time periods viz., 2011-2019 and 2020-2024. Co-citation and co-occurrence keyword analysis of existing tech-based HRM literature was done for the above two periods for exploring the traditional and emerging HR STARA roles and responsibilities aligned to emerged HR themes. Moreover, a bibliographic coupling on the articles at the intersection of HR skills and HR technology was conducted to map the future technology roles with emerging HR STARA competencies. Research themes such as e-HRM adoption and consequences, Robotic Process Automation in HR and Digital HR transformation have emerged with HR roles such as strategic technology integrator and institutional digital capability planner. Similarly, new tech-based HR roles and future-oriented STARA competencies have also been highlighted. The findings are novel in identifying the barriers and enablers to technology HRM systems in organizations. Moreover, identifying HR technology roles with STARA competencies linked to the career capital framework is a unique contribution of this paper. Moreover, the research gaps and future directions of HR technology research with an HR career perspective have both theoretical and practical relevance. |
