Abstract
Suggested as a strategic necessity, practice of HR analytics along with its potential business benefits for organisations abounds in popular press. However, the issue of how employees perceive the use of predictive analytics pertaining to themselves and the impact such perceptions may have on proximal employee outcomes has received little attention. The current research reports on the results of an exploratory study that attempts to shed light on how employees' attributions of organisations' use of HR analytics relate to their commitment to the organisation. Based on this evidence, the current research provides managerial implications related to potential employee concerns with HR analytics and their ramifications for organisations, and calls for future research to investigate these issues more thoroughly and systematically.
