From traditional to smart human resources management

Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to examine all the studies carried out within the scope of e-HRM and smart HRM, grouped according to the sub-functions of technical and HRM. The use of technology in HRM has started since the mid-1990s. However, this study focused on the articles published after 2014 in order to keep up to date. Any search strategy should allow for the completeness of the search to be evaluated. The terms “electronic-HRM”, “AI and HRM”, “Industry 4.0 and HRM”, “Society 5.0 and HRM”, “Human Resource Information Systems” and “Digital Technologies and HRM” “Human-robot interaction” has been questioned in IEEE Xplore, ALM digital library, Emerald Insight, SpringerLink, and Science Direct. The Web of Science and Scopus were also queried to double-check the findings and find other relevant articles in lesser-known libraries. Google Scholar was also used for forward and backward searches. These online databases have been chosen because they present the most important peer-reviewed full-text journals, conference proceedings, book chapters. Then, the references of each article were reviewed for additional articles on digital technologies and HRM. Each subsequent article is then reviewed for additional reference.Design/methodology/approachA total of 5,580 articles have been reviewed. Duplicate items have been removed. The titles and abstracts of 3,500 articles have been scanned to identify potential articles. The full-text evaluation of 2,554 was based on compliance with the inclusion criteria. In addition, 2,458 studies have been excluded. In total, 96 studies have been selected for data extraction. Additionally, questionnaires and reviews have been used to provide comprehensive research on e-HRM and smart HRM. The search terms used are expected to cover most, if not all, of the studies involving e-HRM and smart HRM.FindingsThe study carried out in this article is qualitative research. In the article, which methods are used and what has changed in e-HRM and smart HRM are examined. In particular, it has been thought about what can happen with the inclusion of human-machine interaction, AI, chatbots, industry 4.0 and information systems in HRM. Unlike previous studies, this review takes HRM from a broader perspective and groups it by topic, both by technical and HR functions. In addition, the reviewed articles provide brief information about the AI technologies used. In particular, criteria were taken into account according to the field, type and subject of the articles.Originality/valueThis study has the distinction of being the first in the literature in terms of examining all the studies carried out within the scope of e-HRM and smart HRM and grouped according to the sub-functions of technical and HRM in line with its purpose. The article focuses specifically on research published after 2014. It is expected to contribute to the literature in terms of collecting all studies in a single article. Other contributions of this article can be summarized in four main articles: 1) it presents a summary of previous research by grouping the studies on e-HRM and smart HRM according to the interests of researchers. 2) It saves time for the reader as it provides a brief explanation of the studies on the subject. 3) Instead of explaining in detail the general details analyzed in other articles, it offers a practical perspective by focusing on the type, subject and field of the article. 4) With the digitalization of HRM, new, up-to-date research and techniques are introduced.

Incorporating Artificial Intelligence in Human Resources Management in Small and Medium Companies: Descriptive Study

“…-Further research is needed in this area. (Kambur & Yildirim, 2022) -Qualitative research provides insights into technology's impact on HRM, highlighting the significance of AI and digital innovations.…”

“…The result of this study indicates that qualitative research provides a comprehensive understanding of how technology affects HRM. In addition, sheds light on the importance of AI and other digital innovations in reshaping HR practices (Kambur & Yildirim, 2022). The aim of the study is determining whether the AI helps to improve the performance level of this university's HR systems.…”

Machine Learning and HRM: A Path to Efficient Workforce Management

“…Customizable training approaches may provide customized customer interactions. The automation of the review of applications, connecting of applicants, and choosing of potential clients is how machine learning-driven solutions save hiring time (Kambur, and Yildirim, 2023). Through the detection of bias in hiring and HR procedures, ML algorithms may support diversity and equality.…”

Does Pakistan's Copyright and Antitrust Law Protect Creators of AI-Generated Content? A Comparative Study with European Union Jurisdictions

“…Copyrightfree socially beneficial activities would be prevented. New value generation from non-protected sections of works benefits society more than the replication of protected attributes (Kambur & Yildirim, 2023). Thus, the proposed interpretation requires the AC software to not provide outputs that may be used to unlawfully exploit copyrighted information.…”
