Human Resources Blog is a widespread technological system adopted by organizations for employees to use in the workplace. Nevertheless, there is a lack of empirical research exploring the role and influence of leadership on employees in HR Blog, and thus far lacks a strong theoretical foundation.

Two mixed methods data were collected which are 23 semi-structured interviews and 143 computerized first-hand typewritten comments (content analysis). The finding reveals that leaders' roles in HR Blog significantly affect employees' use of HR Blog. This research made several contributions; theoretical, methodological (two mixed methods), empirical, and practical implications.
