Abstract
Human resource accounting (HRA) researchers all over the globe are
engaged in measuring HRA disclosures (HRAD) practices and their linkages
with performance, productivity, investments, and company characteristics. A
major limitation of these research efforts is the application of a unidimensional
unweighted HRAD index due to the unavailability of an updated weighted
HRAD index. This research paper is an attempt to fill this void in the existing
HRA research area by suggesting an all-inclusive, multi-dimensional weighted
HRAD Index that is capable of capturing significant trends in HRA reporting in
quantifiable numbers that can be then made subject to numerical or statistical
applications. The proposed index is segmented into three sections including
28 broad items of qualitative and quantitative information about human
resources with the most importance assigned to Industrial Relations, Training
Programs, Employees participation in management, HR value, and Profit to
HR ratio. To demonstrate the suitability of the index in intra-company and
inter-company comparisons, it’s applied to two leading corporates in India
- Infosys and MMTC selectively for four years over a period ranging from
2001-02 to 2021-22. The proposed index will be useful for human resource
managers, users, and HRA researchers in improving the quality of their
decisions and measurements.
