ABSTRACT Scientific research within the human resource (HR) field needs improvements and fresh thinking to ensure under‐represented communities are better represented in HR research. The present paper utilises Indigenous wisdom and Indigenous methodological approaches to advance people‐centric HR research. Māori are the Indigenous people of Aotearoa/New Zealand, and kaupapa (philosophy; Māori ideology) Māori research methodology refers to a Māori way of doing research. This paper broadens this approach to HR research, especially focused on under‐represented populations, offering an Indigenous Centred Research approach to highlight how Indigenous inspired methods might enhance HR research experiences for under‐represented populations. An Indigenous Centred Research approach is centred on researchers developing relationships with underrepresent communities, engaging stakeholders to ground the research focus, and co‐create research questions to provide valuable insights. This approach embraces Indigenous insights when researching communities. This paper argues an Indigenous Centred Research approach might enhance HR research especially at a time when impact and societal differences are gaining additional prominence in the HR and wider academe. This paper outlines researcher guidelines exploring stages of the process. Examples of appropriate ways of conducting it are provided, highlighting the benefits for researchers and researched communities.
