ABSTRACT
Blockchain is perceived as a revolutionary technology offering considerable impact on a vast magnitude of sectors including healthcare, supply chain, Internet of Things (IoT), finance, voting systems, property and real-estate management, e-government, higher education, etc. This paper examines the results of an empirical study that conducted ten in-depth, one-to-one semi-structured interviews with Human Resources Management (HRM) experts in order to identify the potential opportunities related to blockchain technology utilization in the HRM domain as well as the anticipated adoption challenges that may hinder its utilization. The study is of significance to both blockchain and HRM researchers who can utilize the proposed opportunities as a future research agenda and work towards mitigating the anticipated adoption challenges.
