Abstract: In the context of digitisation and business analytics, research has recognised the importance of information sharing. Information provided by employees is an important input for human resource analytics. However, ethics and privacy concerns limit the extent and quality of information shared. Drawing on privacy calculus theory and communication privacy management theory, the study examines the influence of intention to share information and organisational trust on human resource analytics outcomes. Data is collected from employees in core industries such as IT/ITES, oil and gas, power, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and renewable energy, with PLS-SEM used for data analysis. The result suggests that managers need to improve organisational trust as it aids in information flow and integration of strategic HR knowledge management systems in the organisation. The research may extend the communication privacy management theory to the area of information sharing for human resource analytics.

Keywords: information sharing intention; organisational trust; human resource analytics; privacy calculus theory; PCT; communication privacy management theory.
