Purpose

This study aims to provide an overview of what characterizes the current state of research in the field of cloud computing use in human resource management (HRM) with the identification, analysis and classification of the existing literature and lines of research addressed and to provide guidance for future research.

Design/methodology/approach

The systematic literature review (SLR) technique has been used to identify, select, analyze and evaluate the existing publications on cloud computing and HRM. A total of 35 papers published up to December 2020 have been obtained from the Web of Science (WoS) scientific database. The research design has allowed us to determine what characterizes the current state of research on the use of cloud computing in HRM and obtain a novel classification of the literature that identifies four lines of research and the contributions in each line and has allowed us to define the future research agenda.

Findings

The four groups into which the papers on the cloud computing-HRM relationship have been classified are: (1) studies focused on the development of cloud platforms for HRM that highlight technical aspects, (2) papers that focus on the concept of human resource elasticity, (3) papers on the adoption and/or implantation of cloud platforms for HRM and (4) studies that highlight the effects or implications of cloud platforms for HRM. This paper proposes some new opportunities for future research and presents some helpful implications from the theoretical and management perspectives.

Research limitations/implications

This study uses only scientific articles in the WoS database with a Journal Citation Report (JCR) or SCImago Journal Rank (SJR) impact.

Originality/value

This paper provides an overview of the knowledge on cloud computing and HRM research and offers recommendations for future research.

云计算与人力资源管理：系统文献回顾与未来研究议程

目的

本研究旨在通过对现有文献和研究方向的识别、分析和分类，概述人力资源管理 (HRM) 中云计算使用领域的研究现状，并为未来的研究。

设计/方法/方法

系统文献综述 (SLR) 技术已被用于识别、选择、分析和评估有关云计算和 HRM 的现有出版物。截至 2020 年 12 月，共有 35 篇论文从 Web of Science (WoS) 科学数据库中获取。研究设计使我们能够确定在人力资源管理中使用云计算的研究现状的特征，并获得了一种新的文献分类，该分类确定了四个研究方向和每个方向的贡献，并使我们能够定义未来的研究议程。

发现

关于云计算与 HRM 关系的论文被分为四类：（1）侧重于 HRM 云平台开发的研究，突出技术方面，（2）侧重于人力资源弹性概念的论文, (3) 关于采用和/或植入 HRM 云平台的论文和 (4) 强调云平台对 HRM 的影响或影响的研究。本文为未来的研究提出了一些新的机会，并从理论和管理的角度提出了一些有益的启示。

研究限制/影响

本研究仅使用 WoS 数据库中具有期刊引证报告 (JCR) 或 SCImago 期刊排名 (SJR) 影响的科学文章。

原创性/价值

本文概述了有关云计算和 HRM 研究的知识，并为未来的研究提供了建议。
