New Challenges and Directions in the Development of Human Resource Management

This Reprint presents a comprehensive collection of scholarly articles exploring the New Challenges and Directions in the Development of Human Resource Management (HRM). The volume addresses the critical transformation of HRM driven by technological advancements, namely, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the necessity of adapting to remote and hybrid work models, and the growing demand for robust strategies supporting employee well-being, mental health, and organisational diversity. The contributions within this Reprint offer key insights into closing existing knowledge gaps. They provide empirical data on implementing information system-enabled telework, analyse the relationship between employee happiness, well-being and productivity, and explore how digital HRM tools impact employee engagement and overall efficiency. In some articles, the collection also examines the influence of diversity attributes on an employee's sense of control over their work, a vital factor for motivation and adaptability in a rapidly changing environment. Looking ahead, this Reprint highlights two essential future research areas for academics and practitioners: creating sustainable employability models for diverse workforce segments, including older employees, and establishing effective leadership styles to foster culture and trust in hybrid teams. This collection serves as a significant resource for understanding the complexities of the modern workplace and shaping future HRM strategies.
