The imperative shift toward digitalisation, accelerated by factors like the COVID-19 pandemic and the great resignation, has underscored the strategic importance of AI and machine learning in HRM׳s key domains: acquisition, development, and retention.

We have interviewed two of the most popular AI software of the present time (2023), Chat GPT(open AI) and Bard AI(Google). This analysis has given us a clear understanding of the impact of AI on HRM during recent years, along with its phase of adaptation. Although existing literature clears most of our doubts, AI is revolutionising rapidly.

Evidence from large firm-level data(Eurasian Economic Review: A Journal in Applied Macroeconomics and Finance, 2026-01-20) Yadav, Inder Sekhar; Yadav, Akash SinghThis study investigates the impact of financial market development on the finan-cial performance of 18,751 non-financial listed and active firms across 12 Asian economies from 1996 to 2020. Financial development is measured using the IMF’s financial development index, while firm performance is assessed through return on investment, return on assets, and return on equity. The analysis incorporates macroeconomic and firm-level controls such as GDP per capita, employment, firm size, leverage, tangibility, current ratio, asset turnover, and sales growth in panel regression models. Results reveal a positive and significant effect of financial devel-opment on firm performance in countries like China, India, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Thailand, but an insignificant effect in Israel, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and the Philippines. The financial development negatively af-fects small firms’ performance relative to medium and large firms. No significant differences are observed between financially developing and developed economies in terms of the impact of financial development on firm performanceItem Making your CSR message effective: A language perspective on the impact of CSR on job seekers’ organizational attraction(Journal of Business Research, 2026) Choudhary, Suman; Mishra, Kirti; Budhwar, PawanEmployers are increasingly including information about their corporate social responsibility (CSR) effort (the CSR action) and its impact (results of the CSR action) in recruitment messages to attract job seekers. However, in contemporary times, when all employers are using these CSR claims to differentiate themselves in the labor market, evaluating the effectiveness of CSR messages in attracting job seekers becomes important. In this research, we suggest that to leverage the potential of CSR messages in attracting job seekers, it is pertinent to pay attention to the nuances of CSR language used in displaying CSR information. Drawing on the literature on language, communication, and organizational attraction, we claim that using personal compared to impersonal language in communicating CSR effort increases organizational attractiveness. Further, we also claim that the language of CSR effort (personal vs. impersonal) interacts with CSR impact’s goal framing (positive vs. negative) to influence job seekers’ attraction towards the organization, such that it is highest in the personal + negative condition. Using a pilot study, one preliminary study, two experimental studies, and a follow-up study, we also demonstrate that job seekers’ anticipated warmth and meaningfulness mediate the above interaction effect. This research provides important theoretical and practical insights for attracting high-quality applicants by effectively communicating CSR initiatives.Item Time-varying causality and correlations between spot and futures prices of natural gas, crude oil, heating oil, and gasoline(Resources Policy, 2024-06) Mensi, Walid; Brahim, Mariem; Hammoudeh, Shawkat; Tiwari, Aviral Kumar; Kang, Sang HoonThis paper examines the time-varying Granger causality between spot and futures prices of petroleum (oil, gasoline, and heating oil) and natural gas markets. The methodology involves computing time-point grey correlations, performing time-varying causality tests, and estimating dynamic equicorrelations between pairs of these markets. The estimated results show that the futures and spot prices of those petroleum and natural gas are highly correlated. The relationship dynamics of two variables in the pairs intensified during extreme economic and political events as well as during COVID-19 spread and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Among all the energy commodities, heating oil and crude oil (natural gas) present the highest (lowest) integrated grey correlations. In addition, the time-varying Granger causality test results show evidence evolving bidirectional information spillovers between the futures and spot prices of natural gas and gasoline. Moreover, the dynamic equicorrelation estimates show an evolving relationship between the futures and spot prices and provide support for the findings of the causality tests.Item LGBTQ inclusion in the workplace: examining the roles of climate, leadership, and psychological empowerment to determine satisfaction(Social Responsibility Journal, 2024-11-21) Lathabhavan, Remya; Mishra, NidhiPurpose Organizations are moving beyond the gender binary in the workplace and are implementing diversity management practices, making Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) inclusion increasingly important as they continue to remain a disadvantaged group. This paper aims to look into the factors that affect job and life satisfaction among LGBTQ employees in India. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 348 LGBTQ employees and analysed using structural equation modelling. Findings The results showed that psychological safety has a positive impact on psychological empowerment, job satisfaction and life satisfaction. Additionally, inclusive climate and inclusive leadership were found to have a significant moderating effect on the relationships. The study also revealed that psychological empowerment plays a mediating role between psychological safety and life satisfaction. Originality/value The study stands pioneers among the works that discuss workplace inclusion among LGBTQ employees in Indian context since LGBTQ acceptance in normal social system is still in nascent stage in Indian scenario. The findings can be used to improve LGBTQ inclusion and promote social development and well-being in organizations and society, as the inputs from the study can be taken up for inclusive leadership development and wellbeing of the employees.
