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. To bring this article up, we have used bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature that addresses the integration of AI in HRM. 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 Sports tokens and sports equities: A downside tail risk analysis with portfolio implications(Financial Innovation, 2026-02-09) Tiwari, A.K.; Asadi, M.; Abdullah, M.; Abakah, E.J.A.; Bhuiyan, R.A.In this study, we examine risk spillover across sports tokens, sports equities and other traditional assets via the quantile-VAR model. Our static analysis results show that token BAR causes significant shocks to this system. In contrast, from the lower quantile, the USD is not only the highest contributor in the network but also the highest receiver. Notably, OG is the dominant contributor to the system. The portfolio analysis using the minimum connectedness portfolio shows possible portfolio benefits from using sports tokens. Our results provide valuable information for market participants to curb their asset management risk.Item Investigating antecedents of green training transfer among wellness resort employees in India(Journal of Hospitality and Tourism Insights, 2025-12-19) Lathabhavan, RemyaPurpose The present study aims to understand the behavioral outcomes of green training by considering an integrative approach of work environment and behavior of wellness resort employees in India. Design/methodology/approach The study follows the Stimuli-Organism-Behavior-Consequence (SOBC) theoretical approach. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 452 wellness resort employees in India. The data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. Findings The findings show that after completion of green training, the opportunity to perform, supervisory support and peer support act as strong predictors of commitment and self-efficacy of the employee. The findings show a strong association of commitment and self-efficacy with green training transfer intention, and transfer intention with green training transfer. The study also found the moderating effects of green training frequency among the Organism-Behavior-Consequence variables of the present study. Practical implications The wellness resorts need to figure out the factors that support the green training practices among the employees to enhance their pro-environmental behaviors. Understanding the influencing role of training frequency on training effectiveness, organizations must focus on training at fixed intervals, which can reinforce the skills learned and ensure the effective training transfer. A periodic check after the training can unravel the possible issues of training transfer and overall organizational effectiveness. It may conduct thorough surveys or one-one meetings to ensure the training transfer. Originality/value The study contributes to both academia and practice with a holistic SOBC model approach to understand the nature of green training transfer among employees in the wellness resorts in a developing country context with cultural ties. The study also stands among the pioneers that explores the relevance of green training transfer in the hospitality industry.
