This academic paper examines current HRM trends and challenges to emphasize their relevance.HR analytics and AI have transformed human resource management (HRM) by enabling evidence-based decision-making, improving recruitment, and increasing employee engagement. This shift allows Human Resource Management (HRM) to align human efforts with corporate objectives, moving from an administrative role to a strategic partner in organizational decision-making.

The current study aims to examine the relationship between employee training and turnover intention within the private sector in Saudi Arabia. The study centers on two factors, namely "training," which is further categorized into "Training Benefits" and "Training Availability," serving as the independent variable, and "turnover intention" as the dependent variable. A cross-sectional study methodology was used to gather data from a sample of 120 private sector workers. The data collection was conducted via the administration of Qualtrics questionnaires, and the subsequent analysis was carried out using SPSS.
This study is essential in the Saudi private sector as it aims to provide insights into the possible influence of training programs on mitigating turnover intention. Investigating the perceived advantages and ease of access to training adds to the body of knowledge in human resource management. It enhances our comprehension of the elements that impact employee retention. The results of this study are anticipated to provide valuable guidance for businesses and policymakers in formulating efficacious approaches to tackle turnover issues and improve the stability of the workforce within the area.

The Negative Effects of Social Media Usage on Employee Performance – A Conceptual Analysis

Yousef Saeed Rashed Alzaabi — 2023-10-01

In this concept paper, social media use, smartphone addiction, and job performance are linked. This revised study examines the detrimental consequences of Facebook, X (previously Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok on employee productivity, psychological well-being, and organisational health as they become more incorporated into work situations. Thematic analysis of recent scholarly works' secondary data has many themes. Addiction to social media disrupts focus and productivity at work. Due to constant digital connectivity and FoMO, social media use can cause anxiety, depression, tension, and cognitive overload. Determine how this addiction's behaviours, such as frequent social media monitoring and disregarding work, impair professional performance, personal connections, and real-life interactions. The study found that excessive social media use damages teamwork, communication, morale, and culture. Through new findings, this research illuminates complex interactions. Companies must proactively balance social media's benefits and hazards to maintain a healthy, productive, and unified workplace. Executives and workers can learn from this report on digital technology's workplace influence. Organisations must continually study and adapt to the evolving digital world to optimise social media's benefits while avoiding its negative effects on staff performance and well-being.

Employee Knowledge Factors and Organisational Competitive Advantage – Conceptualization and Measurement

Sharif Omar Salem — 2023-10-01

Organizations must have competitive advantage to survive, which is dependent on human resource capital. However, the relationships between employee knowledge factors and competitive advantage have not been explored well. Therefore, this paper proposes a conceptual framework for the relationships between employee knowledge factors and organizational competitive advantage and a scale for measuring the concepts. The proposed model that integrates knowledge factors and organizational competitive advantage includes four employee knowledge factors: academic qualification, professional qualification, training and development, and Peer-Peer Knowledge Sharing. The methodology used is the documents’ analysis of the previous published articles to come out with the conceptual framework besides pilot testing to assess the scales' reliability.

Mohammed Khalfan Obaid Alhosan Alshamsi — 2023-10-01

This empirical quantitative study aimed to investigate the influence of employee integration, maintenance and motivation, and technology and AI adoption on employee retention in the UAE Abu Dhabi police force, and the moderation effects of technology and AI adoption on the relationships between employee integration and employee retention, and between maintenance and motivation and employee retention. The resource-based view theory was used to provide theoretical support for the proposed conceptual framework, which included four variables: employee integration, maintenance and motivation, technology and AI adoption, and employee retention. The data was collected using printed questionnaires from 371 employees, and analysed using structural equation modelling. The results showed that employee integration, maintenance and motivation, and technology and AI adoption were all significant predictors of employee retention in the UAE Abu Dhabi police force. The moderation effects of technology and AI adoption on the relationships between employee integration and employee retention, and between maintenance and motivation and employee retention were not significant. The study recommends that the UAE Abu Dhabi police force invest in employee integration, maintenance and motivation, and technology and AI adoption to improve employee retention. Further research is needed to investigate the relationship between technology and AI adoption and employee retention in more detail.
