In particular, we illustrate how theoretical insights connected to the shaping, implementation, embeddedness, impact, and effectiveness of HRM practices are helpful in addressing core questions related to progress in a practical way, well-being, and performance at work.

We advance that experiencing mistrust, existential questioning, and technological reflection are key individual mechanisms to confronting AI resistance connected to organizational mechanisms to alleviate AI resistance through the continuous interaction and unfolding of anxiety and introspection. We also explain the alleviation of AI resistance as an organizational process consisting of AI accessibility, human-AI augmentation, and AI-technology legitimation, each of which maps into one of the dimensions in the employee-level confrontation mechanisms. Overall, our conceptual framework provides an overarching and granular understanding of AI resistance, how employees confront it, and how it can be alleviated in the workplace.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48145,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management Review","volume":"35 2","pages":"Article 101075"},"PeriodicalIF":8.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143102514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model suggests that the development of managerial coaches can be understood as a process of developing their readiness to incorporate a coach approach to their leadership; and undergoing specific cognitive, affective, and motivational pathways towards building a set of competencies, mindsets, identities, and efficacies associated with effective managerial coaching behaviors.

These insights yield a new construct (constructive engagement) posited to occupy a central role in facilitating increased trustworthiness perceptions of a coworker in one's political outgroup. Drawing from the contact hypothesis (<span><span>Allport, 1979</span></span>), I also propose how organizations can create and maintain conditions that strengthen the beneficial effects of constructive engagement.

We investigate how the compiled longitudinal articles examine, analyse, and explain how voice is elucidated through a study over time. We find that most longitudinal studies do not explicitly place importance on the notion of time when examining voice. We then compile well-cited models and voice frameworks to explain voice longitudinally. We focus on the importance of time and discuss how exploring voice through a temporal lens will be a step forward in understanding the dynamics within an organisation. In reviewing the features of existing longitudinal research in the field of voice and applying some key components of existing models (Marchington et al., 1992; Townsend et al., 2020), we develop and apply a broader voice framework that can incorporate different organisational elements, including process and outcomes over time.
