Exploring the impact of ai adoption in recruitment on positive organizational shock and career development: the moderating role of family support and emotional intelligence

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence in recruitment processes represents a significant evolution in human resource management, offering efficiencies and insights while introducing challenges and ethical considerations. This paper explores the impact of artificial intelligence adoption in recruitment on positive organizational shock and career development, considering the moderating roles of emotional intelligence and family support. Emotional intelligence and family support are proposed as moderators that can influence the reactions and adaptation of employees to AI-driven recruitment practices. The study adopts a survey research design with data collected from non-academic staff in Nigerian universities. Structural equation modeling is employed to analyze relationships, assessing direct effects and moderating influences. The findings will contribute insights into the organizational impacts of artificial intelligence adoption, highlighting strategies to optimize recruitment practices and foster supportive environments for career development amidst technological transformations.
