Article: Blockchain-based employee performance appraisal and compensation management system: design, implementation, and analysis Journal: International Journal of Information and Communication Technology (IJICT) 2025 Vol.26 No.49 pp.92 - 139 Abstract: This paper explores the application of blockchain technology in human resource management, focusing on employee performance appraisal and compensation management. The study presents a comprehensive design and implementation of a blockchain-based system that addresses the challenges of traditional HR processes. The proposed system leverages smart contracts, cryptographic techniques, and decentralised architecture to ensure transparency, security, and efficiency in managing employee performance and compensation. The research includes a detailed analysis of the system's architecture, smart contract design, and data management strategies. Performance evaluation and security assessments demonstrate the system's capabilities in handling high transaction volumes, ensuring data integrity, and resisting common attacks. While acknowledging limitations such as scalability constraints and regulatory challenges, the paper highlights the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionise HR management practices. The study concludes by outlining future research directions, including system optimisation, integration with other HR modules, and the exploration of advanced analytics techniques.
