Bibliometric Analysis of HRM and Technology Research from 1976 to 2025

From 1976 to March 2025, this dataset contains bibliometric records for 25,069 Human Resource Management articles and a subset of 1,982 technology-focused HRM articles from the Scopus database. It was created by author Ferreira Joao and analyzes the evolution of technology's role in HRM research across three phases. The data is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license and was last updated in May 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing publication trends and growth rates based on the annual 20.3% increase in Tech-HRM papers.
• Studying the multidisciplinary shift in research based on the described transition from Business/Management to Engineering/Computer Science disciplines.
• Investigating research themes and pressing concerns based on the mention of technostress and technophobia in the HRM context.
• Calculating bibliometric indicators like doubling time based on the provided 3.75-year figure for Tech-HRM literature.

Strengths

• Includes a substantial corpus of 25,069 HRM articles with a defined technology subset of 1,982 articles.
• Covers a long temporal range of nearly 50 years, from 1976 to March 2025.
• Provides specific growth metrics, such as a 20.3% annual increase and a doubling time of 3.75 years for the Tech-HRM subset.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the primary data files is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset's 66.2 MB size suggests it is relatively small, potentially limiting the depth of analysis.
