Modeling Organizational Performance with Machine Learning

Abstract

Identifying the performance factors of organizations is of utmost importance for labor studies for both empirical and theoretical research. The present study investigates the essential intra- and extra-organizational factors in determining the performance of firms using the European Company Survey (ECS) 2019 framework. The evolutionary computation method of genetic algorithm and the machine learning method of Bayesian additive regression trees (BART), are used to model the importance of each of the intra- and extra-organizational factors in identifying the firms’ performance as well as employee well-being. The standard metrics are further used to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method. The mean value of the evaluation metrics for the accuracy of the impact of intra- and extra-organizational factors on firm performance are MAE = 0.225, MSE = 0.065, RMSE = 0.2525, and R2 = 0.9125, and the value of these metrics for the accuracy of the impact of intra- and extra-organizational factors on employee well-being are MAE = 0.18, MSE = 0.0525, RMSE = 0.2275, and R2 = 0.88. The low values of MAE, MSE and RMSE, and the high value of R2, indicate the high level of accuracy of the proposed method. The results revealed that the two variables of work organization and innovation are essential in improving firm performance well-being, and that the variables of collaboration and outsourcing, as well as job complexity and autonomy, have the greatest role in improving firm performance.

The impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on employees’ skills and well-being in global labor markets: A systematic review

“…These transformations became more visible in the accelerated process of digitalization during the pandemic (OECD, 2021). Some of the most important aspects in improving company performance and well-being are skill requirements and skill matching, as well as the voice of employees (Pap et al, 2022b). The Economist and World Economic Forum specialists stressed that employers who do not engage with new tasks based on improved skills may be confronted, if not with 'great resignations', then with 'quiet quitting' practices.…”

“…Combining and balanc-ing the big data-based intelligent energy trading system and the IoT-based integrated energy platform for the sustainable smart city [62][63][64][65][66]. In particular, a bot-tom-up strategy at the smart house level and smart city level can take into consideration both consumer behavior and energy, and should be employed in a sustainable smart city to reflect the varied and segmented characteristics of customers as well as buildings [67][68][69][70]. The performance of technical analysis in Europe incorporating huge amounts of intermittent renewable energy is technically possible [70] according to Roadmap 2050, but extra backup generation capacity and transmission capacity must be greatly increased [71].…”

Machine learning in employee performance evaluation: A HRM perspective

“…By adopting a collaborative approach that leverages both human expertise and technological advancements, organizations can truly unlock the transformative potential of ML in HRM and orchestrate a symphony of success. [4]. The symphony of organizational success often resonates with a discordant note: the neglect of employee well-being.…”
