The emergence of digital technology and the availability of large volume, high velocity and a great variety of data has forced the HRM to adopt the BDA in managing the workforce.Design/methodology/approachThis paper evaluates the past, present and future trends of HRM through the bibliometric analysis of citation, co-citation and co-word analysis.FindingsFindings from the analysis present significant research clusters that imply the knowledge structure and mapping of research streams in HRM. Challenges in BDA application and firm performances appear in all three bibliometric analyses, indicating this subject’s past, current and future trends in HRM.Practical implicationsImplications on the HRM landscape include fostering a data-driven culture in the workplace to reap the potential benefits of BDA. Firms must strategically adapt BDA as a change management initiative to transform the traditional way of managing the workforce toward adapting BDA as analytical tool in HRM decision-making.Originality/valueThis study presents past, present and future trends in BDA knowledge structure in human resources management.
