Drawing upon attribution theory and AI literature and taking an interpersonal perspective, this research challenges the prevailing consensus by investigating whether, when, and how employee AI usage would lead to negative coworker outcomes. We propose that when coworkers attribute employee AI usage as a way to slack off (i.e., slack attribution), employee AI usage is negatively related to coworkers' perceived morality of the employee, which in turn decreases coworkers' helping behavior toward the employee. Two experimental studies, a field survey study, and a field experiment provide substantial support for our hypotheses.

We compare scores of candidates assessed remotely under proctored conditions (<i>N</i> = 902) versus onsite (<i>N</i> = 891) in an actual selection context in the same organization, in the same time period, and on the same cognitive ability tests, case exercises, and structured interviews. Controlling for job, there were no differences for cognitive ability tests or case exercises in the remote environment, but higher scores for structured interviews, leading to a slightly higher total score for all assessments combined and a 5% increase in the overall passing rate. Within groups, Hispanic or Latino candidates performed better on the remote cognitive ability test compared with Hispanic or Latino candidates onsite, while Asian candidates performed better remotely for the case exercise. All subgroups performed better on the remote structured interview compared with their onsite counterparts. No between-group differences emerged by racioethnicity, but women outperformed men on the remote cognitive ability test compared to onsite. Candidate fairness reactions did not differ by test environment for any assessments or subgroups. We conclude that: (1) remote proctored assessments will not create lower overall passing rates (i.e., fewer candidates for hire); (2) differences in remote assessment scores may depend on the type of assessment, with the greatest positive differences for structured interviews; (3) remote assessments do not disadvantage racioethnic minority candidates or candidates overall; and (4) remote assessments do not reduce candidate fairness reactions.</p>","PeriodicalId":48310,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management","volume":"64 4","pages":"1041-1055"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hrm.22297","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144551056","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, based on social causation theory, we propose an alternative model in which higher job complexity reduces cannabis use over time to facilitate one's extrinsic career outcomes. Using 8 years of longitudinal panel data from multiple sources, we found support for the hypothesized reciprocal effect between cannabis use and job complexity and their influences on income and occupational prestige.

I argue that the answer is through socializing them so that they come to view the extraordinary as more ordinary. This “normalization” typically entails: (1) setting the context by creating a strong situation in the form of a social cocoon with high normative control; (2) setting the content by providing a clear frame and ideology, conveyed through various forms of discourse; and (3) setting the process of socialization in motion by recruiting and selecting promising individuals and subjecting them to synergistic combinations of divestiture and investiture and of incrementalism and immersion, routinizing the work, and facilitating stress coping. These practices are mutually reinforcing such that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The outcome is newcomers who can take in stride and accomplish what may have once seemed unthinkable. However, the socialization process is largely the same whether the goals are socially desirable (e.g., pursuing a grand challenge) or socially undesirable (e.g., extremism), and whether the means are socially desirable (most work) or undesirable (e.g., “dirty work”).

This function predicted allyship behaviors and was resilient to ally risk, which reflects organizational sanctions for voicing concerns about racism. Robustness tests showed that other forms of interracial contact (positive/negative contact; residential, family, and work group diversity) had little effect on allyship and the effects of this friendship function held when we controlled for them.

This study clarifies their conceptual differences by exploring their interplay effect on gig workers' technostressors. Based on the stress and coping theory, a partial least squares structural equation modeling analysis by running data from 407 gig workers participating in a three-wave time-lagged survey was conducted. Results show that observational or interactional algorithmic monitoring hinders or promotes gig workers' self-efficacy via both challenge and threat technostressors, respectively. While enhancing the positive effect of interactional algorithmic monitoring on self-efficacy via threat technostressors, guiding algorithmic control attenuates the negative effect of observational algorithmic monitoring on self-efficacy via challenge and threat technostressors, which contrasts with prior algorithmic HRM literature considering algorithmic control as a universally “bad thing” by workers. These findings deepen the understanding of the algorithmic HRM realm by revealing the differences and interplay between algorithmic monitoring and algorithmic control.

We propose a technology-inclusion framework as a foundation for future model testing by delineating the key variables and relationships at play. A narrative review is adopted to discuss our findings derived from a comprehensive search of relevant literature, which yielded 41 journal articles and five book chapters. We employed thematic analysis, facilitated by ATLAS.ti's artificial intelligence coding function, to critically review and analyze the shortlisted articles through a rigorous, iterative process. Our framework highlights three pathways (NDE-related, leader-related, and peer-related) that discuss the combination of SM affordances enhancing and inhibiting the inclusion of NDEs. In particular, SM affordances can build inclusion by enhancing self-efficacy and a sense of empowerment, facilitating accessible communication, and connection. However, privacy and personal safety concerns explain why SM affordances sometimes undermine inclusion. Likewise, pathways related to supervisory support, and increased interactions and support from peers highlight the role of leaders and peers in translating SM affordances to NDEs' inclusion. We emphasize that leveraging SM applications, understanding NDEs' specific needs, and fostering an inclusive culture starting from organizational leadership can significantly contribute to promoting inclusion and support for NDEs in the workplace.</p>","PeriodicalId":48310,"journal":{"name":"Human Resource Management","volume":"64 3","pages":"901-917"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/hrm.22290","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143926010","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
