Advances in technologies are reconfiguring practical, analytical, and spatial dimensions of work(places) and the nature of work itself. The long-term impact of these innovations remains unclear, leaving managers and leaders struggling to understand how to capitalize on their potential benefits whilst also avoiding the downsides. We invite submissio...
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in Human Resource Management (HRM), particularly within recruitment. However, the candidate perspective on AI usage remains underexplored, as existing research predominantly focuses on the employer’s viewpoint. Addressing this gap, we conducted a vignette survey experiment to examine how the combina...
The potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to reshape Human Resource Management (HRM) practices is profound, but it also presents challenges that require careful consideration, particularly in terms of ethics, inclusivity, and sustainability. However, knowledge about whether and how this transformation is actually occurring remains limited. This...

Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS) are being implemented in many organizations but, like other technology projects, translating their potential benefits into meaningful improvements can be challenging. So-called “planned benefits” approaches are designed to aid this translation, but little is known about their success in HRIS projects. This...
Social media have created a multitude of ways for organizations to develop and disseminate their corporate and organizational identity. However, little is still known about how identity can be observed on social media. To address this research gap, we conducted a scoping review that collected, analyzed and synthesized the corpus of published resear...
Corporate identity is often defined as “what an organization is”. This concept relates to organizational identity. However, while organizational identity has an internal employee focus, corporate identity has an external focus. As such, it is often used as a synonym to organizational image that organizations project externally. Social media have cr...
Purpose
Digital transformation projects are complex, lengthy and difficult to implement, often failing to meet their objectives. Previous research has attributed this failure to competing institutional logics influencing actors’ coping responses, and differences in actors’ interpretations of the project’s goals, technology and processes - their “or...
Social media (SM) are widely used by nonprofit organizations (NPOs). However, little is known about how they are used for fundraising, especially regarding their benefits/disbenefits, and the optimum strategies for maximizing value from such campaigns. The study presented here aimed to address this gap by collecting, analyzing and synthesizing the...
Abstract Concern among the public and policymakers about current and future major staff shortages is increasing. Strengthening Human Resource (HR) practices and adopting HR technologies such as Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), that can collect, store and report workforce data are often described as a potential solution to this problem.

Introducing IT-enabled transformational change in the public sector can be complex and challenging. Documentary analysis and in-depth interviews were used to study the introduction of a Human Resource Information System (HRIS) in one Italian regional healthcare organisation (RHO). Drawing on existing HRIS benefit models, we examined the types of be...
Studies of HRIS in healthcare organizations are under-represented in the scientific literature, despite their potential to contribute to information-driven, learning healthcare systems and the substantial financial investments that are being made in them. Given the rising cost of healthcare and the growth in patient traffic, the future sustainabili...
Although the intersection between social media and health has received considerable research attention, little is known about how public sector health organizations are using social media for e-Government. This systematic literature review sought to capture, classify, appraise and synthesize relevant evidence from four international research databa...

Do Management/Business or IS journals have blog sections equivalent to the BMJ one (http://blogs.bmj.com/)?
Hello,
could you recommend a good IT literature database (other than IEEExplore)? I have some problems with using it (doesn't recognize inverted commas and has limits on keywords).
Thank you in advance!
