Abstract
Purpos:This study aims to elucidate the mechanisms through which artificial intelligence (AI) impacts human resource management (HRM) from a positive psychology perspective and to propose a hierarchical framework for enhancing employee flourishing.
Method:The applied-developmental research employed a mixed-methods approach. The sample consisted of 15 experts in AI and HRM selected via purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews using an interview guide. Thematic analysis and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) were applied for data analysis.
Findings:A five-layer framework was developed encompassing strategic drivers, technological enablers, positive psychological constructs, learning processes, and organizational outcomes. The framework highlights that successful AI adoption requires integrating technological capabilities, algorithmic fairness, and psychological support for employees.
Innovation:This research fills a gap in the smart HRM literature by offering a comprehensive, synergistic model that integrates strategic, technological, and psychological dimensions.
Conclusion: AI implementation alone is insufficient; it must be accompanied by robust strategic infrastructure, data governance, and psychological empowerment to achieve simultaneous human flourishing and organizational productivity. The proposed framework serves as a practical guide for managers and a foundation for future quantitative studies.
