The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Human Resource Management (HRM) is accelerating and reshaping how organizations attract, develop, manage, and retain talent. Despite abundant case examples and growing practitioner interest, academic findings remain fragmented regarding the antecedents (drivers), impediments (barriers), and organizational effects (outcomes) of AI-based HR transformation. This paper presents a PRISMA-guided systematic literature review of 112 peer-reviewed articles (2015–2025) to synthesize empirical and conceptual evidence on AI in HRM. Results identify three primary drivers: technological capability, strategic alignment, and a data-driven culture; three critical barriers: ethical concerns (bias, privacy, and transparency), skill and capability gaps, and resistance to change; and three outcome clusters: operational efficiency, enhanced employee experience, and elevated strategic HR contribution. We propose a socio-technical conceptual framework that models drivers moderated by barriers to outcomes, and we advance a research agenda focused on ethical governance, human–AI collaboration, capability measurement, and longitudinal evaluation. The review contributes to theory by integrating socio-technical and dynamic capability  perspectives and provides actionable guidance for HR leaders on responsible AI adoption.

Investments in information technology (IT) often fail to deliver the expected added value due to excessive dependence on external suppliers, inflexible technological systems, or infrastructures that are highly vulnerable to various operational and security risks. This article analyzes organizational strategies to ensure the realization of added value from IT investments through the integration of strategic alignment and comprehensive risk management practices. By implementing strategic alignment, organizations are able to synchronize IT initiatives with core business objectives, organizational processes, and long-term strategic goals. At the same time, effective risk management plays a crucial role in reducing detrimental dependencies, including risks related to data breaches, system failures, cyber threats, and operational disruptions. This approach is supported by an extensive review of literature from credible and relevant academic sources, which demonstrates that systematic risk mitigation can significantly enhance organizational resilience, reliability, and overall value creation from IT investments. As a result, organizations are better positioned to optimize performance, improve decision-making capabilities, and ultimately achieve a sustainable competitive advantage in an increasingly digital business environment.
