Generative Artificial Intelligence Algorithms in Talent


and Performance Management, Job Displacement and
Creation, and Employee Productivity and Well-Being

Doina Popescu Ljungholm1 and Viorica Popescu1

ABSTRACT. The objective of this paper is to systematically review generative


artificial intelligence substituting both human labor and decisions. The findings and
analyses highlight that people analytics and machine learning algorithms can be
pivotal in generative artificial intelligence-driven human resource and sustainable
organizational development and systems in terms of job and employee sentiment
analysis and monitoring. Throughout May 2023, a quantitative literature review of
the Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases was performed, with search
terms including “generative artificial intelligence algorithms” + “talent and
performance management,” “job displacement and creation,” and “employee
productivity and well-being.” As research published in 2023 was inspected, only
172 articles satisfied the eligibility criteria. By taking out controversial or ambiguous
findings (insufficient/irrelevant data), outcomes unsubstantiated by replication, too
general material, or studies with nearly identical titles, we selected 30 mainly
empirical sources. Data visualization tools: Dimensions (bibliometric mapping) and
VOSviewer (layout algorithms). Reporting quality assessment tool: PRISMA.
Methodological quality assessment tools include: AMSTAR, Dedoose, Distiller SR,
and SRDR.

Keywords: generative artificial intelligence algorithms; talent and performance


management; job displacement and creation; employee productivity and well-being

1. Introduction
Performance assessment related to selection, recruitment, hiring, promotion,
and sacking, team- and organization-level results develop on generative
artificial intelligence tools by use of supervised and reinforcement machine
learning techniques. The purpose of our systematic review is to examine
the recently published literature on generative artificial intelligence algo-
rithms and integrate the insights it configures on talent and performance
management, job displacement and creation, and employee productivity and
well-being. By analyzing the most recent (2023) and significant (Web of
Science, Scopus, and ProQuest) sources, our paper has attempted to prove
that generative artificial intelligence algorithms can create significant
economic gains and raise labor productivity (Andronie et al., 2023; Lăzăroiu
et al., 2017; Nica, 2018; Peters et al., 2023), while displacing employees
particularly in the services sectors through organizational effectiveness and
performance. The actuality and novelty of this study are articulated by
addressing generative artificial intelligence tools shaping knowledge work
and team structure, augmenting human agency, and improving workflow
coordination (Balcerzak et al., 2022; Lăzăroiu et al., 2022a; Nica et al.,
2023), that is an emerging topic involving much interest. Our research
problem is whether people analytics and machine learning algorithms can be
pivotal in generative artificial intelligence-driven human resource and
sustainable organizational development and systems (Cegarra Navarro et al.,
2023; Lăzăroiu et al., 2022b; Popescu et al., 2017a) in terms of job and
employee sentiment analysis and monitoring.
In this review, prior findings have been cumulated indicating that
generative artificial intelligence-based industrial automation and workforce
(Dabija et al., 2022; Lewkowich, 2022; Popescu et al., 2017b; Vătămănescu
et al., 2020) further labor market returns and productivity enhancement, job
task complexity, demand characteristics, and attributes. The identified gaps
advance generative artificial intelligence substituting both human labor and
decisions. Our main objective is to indicate that generative artificial intel-
ligence-related tasks and production value chain impact labor division and
conditions (Kliestik et al., 2020; Morley, 2022a; Popescu, 2018; Watson,
2022), business decisions, and job service automation and displacement.

2. Theoretical Overview of the Main Concepts


Memorable personalized experience data and data-driven creativity based on
extended, meaningful, and deep digital connections, sustainability messaging,
targeted promotions, exclusive offers, and discount strategies can increase
conversion rates and optimize customer journey. Generative artificial intel-
ligence systems integrate job role analysis, training history, data manage-
10
ment and analytics, and performance data, tracking employee productivity
and well-being, providing assistance and resources. The manuscript is
organized as following: theoretical overview (sectio n 2), methodology
(section 3), generative artificial intelligence-based industrial automation,
workforce labor market returns, and productivity enhancement (section 4),
immersive generative artificial intelligence technologies, job displacement
and creation, and workflow coordination (section 5), generative artificial
intelligence-driven human resource and sustainable organizational develop-
ment and systems (section 6), discussion (section 7), synopsis of the main
research outcomes (section 8), conclusions (section 9), limitations, impli-
cations, and further directions of research (section 10).

3. Methodology
Throughout May 2023, a quantitative literature review of the Web of Science,
Scopus, and ProQuest databases was performed, with search terms including
“generative artificial intelligence algorithms” + “talent and performance
management,” “job displacement and creation,” and “employee productivity

4. Generative Artificial Intelligence-based Industrial Automation,
Workforce Labor Market Returns, and Productivity Enhancement
Generative artificial intelligence can substitute both human labor and decisions
(Agrawal, 2023; Budhwar et al., 2023; Fosso Wamba et al., 2023; Lee et al.,
2023; Zhong et al., 2023), while having a significantly assistive function,
shaping employee wellbeing and engagement in relation to job satisfaction by
articulating human resource management systems, planning, and knowledge
sharing. Generative artificial intelligence technologies can reconfigure
the business landscape in relation to behavioral patterns of operational
performance, knowledge creation sharing, organizational learning processes,
ethical practices, and supply chain management in terms of increased
flexibility efficiency, and responsiveness.
Generative artificial intelligence algorithms further labor augmentation
and market disruption (Agrawal et al., 2023; Bilgram and Laarmann, 2023;
Kunz and Wirtz, 2023; Li and Zhao, 2023), disproportionate productivity
improvements, task automation, and increased income inequality. Memo-
rable personalized experience data and data-driven creativity based on ex-
tended, meaningful, and deep digital connections, sustainability messaging,
targeted promotions, exclusive offers, and discount strategies can increase
conversion rates and optimize customer journey.
Machine learning algorithms and remote sensing technologies can opti-
mize manufacturing efficiency and productivity and predictive maintenance
(Bouschery et al., 2023; Du et al., 2023; Liu et al., 2023; Plathottam et al.,
2023) by assessing data acquisition, quality assurance, and human resource
performance. Generative artificial intelligence-based industrial automation
and workforce further labor market returns and productivity enhancement,
job task complexity, demand characteristics, and attributes. (Table 3)

5. Immersive Generative Artificial Intelligence Technologies,
Job Displacement and Creation, and Workflow Coordination
Generative artificial intelligence tools can shape knowledge work and team
structure, augment human agency, and improve workflow coordination in
relation to business model innovation management and product development
(Branikas et al., 2023; Budhwar et al., 2023; Pan et al., 2023; Ritala et al.,
2023) by use of photorealistic synthetic imagery and immersive simulation
training systems. Immersive generative artificial intelligence technologies
can lead both to job displacement and creation, while simultaneously shifting
human labor and creating perpetual uncertainty and psychological pressures
and distress for employees.
Generative artificial intelligence can automate routine tasks, determine
the unemployment rate and competitiveness, increase productivity and
profitability, drive economic growth, and configure creative job roles (Chou
and Lee, 2023; Guliyev, 2023; Le Ludec et al., 2023; Park et al., 2023)
through critical thinking, data-driven business analytics, and innovative
problem-solving. Generative artificial intelligence-related tasks and production
value chain impact labor division and conditions, business decisions, and job
service automation and displacement.
Competence analytics, corporate performance and decision-making process
evaluation, data governance monitoring, and employee recruiting, onboarding,
coaching, and training (Budhwar et al., 2023; Chang and Ke, 2023; Chun et
al., 2023; Que et al., 2023) develop on generative artificial intelligence
governance and management. Performance assessment related to selection,
recruitment, hiring, promotion, and sacking, team- and organization-level
results develop on generative artificial intelligence tools by use of supervised
and reinforcement machine learning techniques. (Table 4)

6. Generative Artificial Intelligence-driven Human Resource
and Sustainable Organizational Development and Systems
Generative artificial intelligence-based algorithmic assistance can be pivotal
in efficient and scalable business value creation and fine-tuning contextual
tasks, resulting in significant productivity gains and development processes
(Budhwar et al., 2023; Harle, 2023; Ritala et al., 2023; Saranya et al., 2023)
through machine learning-based automation systems and the Internet of
Robotic Things. Generative artificial intelligence systems integrate job role
analysis, training history, data management and analytics, and performance
data, tracking employee productivity and well-being, providing assistance
and resources.
Generative artificial intelligence tools and autonomous machines augment
innovation team performance, knowledge-based practices, and creative
product development processes and tasks in business operations (Bouschery
et al., 2023; Budhwar et al., 2023; Jin et al., 2023; Sun et al., 2023) through
reinforcement learning techniques. Generative artificial intelligence algorithms
can create significant economic gains and raise labor productivity, while dis-
placing employees particularly in the services sectors through organizational
effectiveness and performance.
Generative artificial intelligence can simultaneously deskill and destroy
jobs, but organizations can leverage its capacity to create value (Budhwar et
al., 2023; Chang and Ke, 2023; Ko et al., 2023; Wörsdörfer, 2023; Zhu et al.,
2023), improving people management in terms of talent attraction, motivation,
and retention, increasing job insecurity and precarity, and reducing labor
turnover and absence. People analytics and machine learning algorithms can
be pivotal in generative artificial intelligence-driven human resource and
sustainable organizational development and systems in terms of job and
employee sentiment analysis and monitoring. (Table 5)

7. Discussion
We integrate our systematic review throughout research indicating how
immersive generative artificial intelligence technologies can lead both to job
displacement and creation, while simultaneously shifting human labor and
creating perpetual uncertainty and psychological pressures and distress for
employees. Our research complements recent analyses clarifying how gen-
erative artificial intelligence algorithms can create significant economic
gains and raise labor productivity, while displacing employees particularly in
the services sectors through organizational effectiveness and performance.
We elucidate, by cumulative evidence, previous research demonstrating how
generative artificial intelligence-based industrial automation and workforce
further labor market returns and productivity enhancement, job task com-
plexity, demand characteristics, and attributes.

8. Synopsis of the Main Research Outcomes


Generative artificial intelligence-related tasks and production value chain
impact labor division and conditions, business decisions, and job service
automation and displacement. People analytics and machine learning algo-
rithms can be pivotal in generative artificial intelligence-driven human re-
source and sustainable organizational development and systems in terms of
job and employee sentiment analysis and monitoring. Memorable personalized
experience data and data-driven creativity based on extended, meaningful,
and deep digital connections, sustainability messaging, targeted promotions,
exclusive offers, and discount strategies can increase conversion rates and
optimize customer journey.

9. Conclusions
Relevant research has investigated whether generative artificial intelligence
systems integrate job role analysis, training history, data management and
analytics, and performance data, tracking employee productivity and well-
being, providing assistance and resources. This systematic literature review
presents the published peer-reviewed sources covering how generative
artificial intelligence technologies can reconfigure the business landscape in
relation to behavioral patterns of operational performance, knowledge creation
sharing, organizational learning processes, ethical practices, and supply chain
management in terms of increased flexibility efficiency, and responsiveness.
The research outcomes drawn from the above analyses indicate that per-
formance assessment related to selection, recruitment, hiring, promotion, and
sacking, team- and organization-level results develop on generative artificial
intelligence tools by use of supervised and reinforcement machine learning
techniques.

10. Limitations, Implications, and Further Directions of Research
By analyzing only articles published in 2023 in journals indexed in the Web
of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases, relevant sources on generative
artificial intelligence algorithms in talent and performance management, job
displacement and creation, and employee productivity and well-being may
have been excluded. Limitations of this research comprise particular kinds of
publications (original empirical research and review articles) discounting
others (conference proceedings articles, books, and editorial materials).
The scope of our study also does not move forward the inspection of gen-
erative artificial intelligence algorithms furthering labor augmentation and
market disruption.
Subsequent analyses should develop on generative artificial intelligence-
based algorithmic assistance in efficient and scalable business value creation
and fine-tuning contextual tasks. Future research should thus investigate
generative artificial intelligence tools and autonomous machines augmenting
innovation team performance, knowledge-based practices, and creative
product development processes and tasks. Attention should be directed to
generative artificial intelligence determining the unemployment rate and
competitiveness, increasing productivity and profitability, driving economic
growth, and configuring creative job roles.

1. Introduction
Generative artificial intelligence and data visualization tools enable virtual
recruitment and onboarding, enhance knowledge acquisition and career
progression, and forecast job displacement. The purpose of our systematic
review is to examine the recently published literature on generative artificial
intelligence-based virtual human resource management and integrate the in-
sights it configures on immersive remote collaboration and workplace tracking
systems, mobile biometric and sentiment data, and algorithmic monitoring
and wearable augmented reality technologies. By analyzing the most recent
(2023) and significant (Web of Science, Scopus, and ProQuest) sources, our
paper has attempted to prove that employee engagement analytics (Andronie
et al., 2021a; Capestro et al., 2024; Duncan, 2022; Lăzăroiu and Rogalska,
2023), immersive haptic experiences, and hiring practices require generative
artificial intelligence and wearable augmented reality technologies. The ac-
tuality and novelty of this study are articulated by addressing long-term talent
pipelines, adaptive learning experiences (Andronie et al., 2021b; Lăzăroiu et
al., 2023; Musova et al., 2021; Popescu et al., 2017a), and employee commit-
ment and performance, that is an emerging topic involving much interest.
Our research problem is whether generative artificial intelligence and com-
puter vision algorithms can harness employee engagement analytics (Dvorsky
et al., 2020; Maroušek et al., 2020; Nica et al., 2023a), physiological and
behavioral biometrics, and realistic movement simulations (Andronie et al.,
2021; Bargoni et al., 2023; Naepi and Naepi, 2022; Popescu et al., 2017b) in
immersive work environments.
In this review, prior findings have been cumulated indicating that gen-
erative artificial intelligence and emotion recognition tools can reduce
unreasonable workload, lead to productive workplace (Andronie et al., 2023;
Nica, 2017; Peters et al., 2023; Popescu, 2018), and boost employee
engagement. The identified gaps advance workplace collaboration software
(Dabija et al., 2018; Nica, 2018; Pelau et al., 2021; Vătămănescu et al.,
2022), synthetic training data, and employee engagement analytics. Our
main objective is to indicate that generative artificial intelligence and remote
collaboration tools can assist in knowledge sharing practices, changing work-
force needs (Gaspareniene et al., 2022; Nica et al., 2023b; Poliak et al.,
2023), and career development.

2. Theoretical Overview of the Main Concepts


Generative artificial intelligence and algorithmic monitoring systems are
instrumental in effective organizational practices, workforce motivation and
commitment, and labor productivity growth. Data-driven cognitive and affective
processes, organizational performance practices, and employee effectiveness
and productivity necessitate generative artificial intelligence and voice and
27
gesture recognition technologies. The manuscript is organized as following:
theoretical overview (section 2), methodology (section 3), generative artificial
intelligence and deep learning computer vision algorithms, employee engage-
ment analytics, and body-tracking data metrics in virtual workplaces (section
4), generative artificial intelligence and algorithmic tracking technologies,
immersive haptic experiences, and remote collaboration tools in virtual
workspaces and meetings (section 5), generative artificial intelligence and
algorithmic monitoring systems, performance management processes, and
employee satisfaction and engagement in immersive work environments
(section 6), discussion (section 7), synopsis of the main research outcomes
(section 8), conclusions (section 9), limitations, implications, and further
directions of research (section 10).

3. Methodology
We carried out a quantitative literature review of ProQuest, Scopus, and
the Web of Science throughout May 2023, with search terms including “gen-
erative artificial intelligence-based virtual human resource management” +
“immersive remote collaboration and workplace tracking systems,” “mobile
biometric and sentiment data,” and “algorithmic monitoring and wearable
augmented reality technologies.” As we analyzed research published in
2023, only 170 papers met the eligibility criteria, and 52 mainly empirical
sources were selected (Tables 1 and 2). ATLAS.ti was used in conducting a
systematic review of the literature. Data visualization tools: Dimensions
(bibliometric mapping) and VOSviewer (layout algorithms). Reporting
quality assessment tool: PRISMA. Methodological quality assessment tools
include: AMSTAR, Distiller SR, ROBIS, and SRDR (Figures 1–6).

Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA)


guidelines were used that ensure the literature review is comprehensive, transparent,
and replicable. The flow diagram, produced by employing a Shiny app, presents
the stream of evidence-based collected and processed data through the various steps
of a systematic review, designing the amount of identified, included,
and removed records, and the justifications for exclusions.
To ensure compliance with PRISMA guidelines, a citation software was used,
and at each stage the inclusion or exclusion of articles was tracked by use of custom
spreadsheet. Justification for the removal of ineligible articles was specified during
the full-text screening and final selection.

32
To ensure first-rate standard of evidence, a systematic search
of relevant databases including peer-reviewed published
journal articles was conducted using predefined search terms,
covering a range of research methods and data sources.
Reference lists of all relevant sources were manually
reviewed for additional relevant citations.

Titles of papers and abstracts were screened for suitability


and selected full texts were retrieved to establish whether
they satisfied the inclusion criteria. All records from each
database were evaluated by using data extraction forms.
Data covering research aims, participants, study design,
and method of each paper were extracted.

The inclusion criteria were: (i) articles included in the Web of


Science, Scopus, and ProQuest databases, (ii) publication date
(2023), (iii) written in English, (iv) being an original
empirical research or review article, and (v) particular search
terms covered; (i) conference proceedings, (ii) books, and (iii)
editorial materials were eliminated from the analysis.

SRDR gathered, handled, and analyzed the data for


the systematic review, being configured as an archive and tool
harnessed in data extraction through transparent, efficient, and
reliable quantitative techniques. Elaborate extraction forms
can be set up, meeting the needs of research questions and
study designs.

Distiller SR screened and extracted the collected data.

AMSTAR evaluated the methodological quality


of systematic reviews.

The quality of academic articles was determined and risk of


bias was measured by MMAT, that tested content validity and
usability of selected studies in terms of screening questions,
type of design, corresponding quality criteria, and overall
quality score.

Dedoose analyzed qualitative and mixed methods research.

AXIS evaluated the quality of cross-sectional studies.

ROBIS assessed the risk of bias in systematic reviews.
