Artificial Intelligence in Tactical Human Resource Management: A Systematic Literature Review
Open accessAbstract
Digitization within Human Resource Management (HRM) has resulted in Artificial Intelligence (AI) becoming increasingly prevalent in Human Resource Management Systems (HRMS) and HR Information Systems (HRIS). The tactical procedures of recruitment, employee performance evaluation and satisfaction, compensation and benefit analysis , best practice analysis, discipline management, and employee training and development systems have seen a growth in the incorporation of AI. To better understand this evolution, we seek to explore publication sources and literature that feature the application of AI within HRM. By utilizing a systematic literature review methodology, this paper identifies which tactical HRIS (T-HRIS) components are featured in literature and how each T-HRIS component is represented. This paper gives insight to which component of tactical HRM/HRIS receives attention and identifies gaps in research to give direction to future research agendas .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
