Artificial Intelligence in recruitment : Is ethics a lever for Business Attractiveness?

More organizations use AI in the hiring process than ever before, yet the perceived ethicality of such processes seems to be mixed. With such variation in our views of AI in hiring, we need to understand how these perceptions impact the organizations that use it. In two studies, we investigate how ethical perceptions of using AI in hiring are related to perceptions of organizational attractiveness and innovativeness. Our findings indicate that ethical perceptions of using AI in hiring are positively related to perceptions of organizational attractiveness, both directly and indirectly via perceptions of innovativeness, with variations depending on the type of hiring method used. For instance, we find that individuals who consider it ethical for organizations to use AI in ways often considered to be intrusive to privacy, such as analyzing social media content, view such organizations as both more innovative and attractive.

Examples of such institutions include foundations, microfinance institutions, crowdfunding platforms, credit cooperatives, and social or ethical banks.

What are role tensions?

Role tensions reflect a feeling experienced by a person in a situation where it is difficult to respond satisfactorily to all the expectations directed toward them. Drawing in particular on Kahn et al.’s (1964) role theory, researchers generally agree on three forms of role tension: role ambiguity, role overload (or work overload), and role conflict. Scientific studies show that role tensions are detrimental both to individuals (e.g., work stress) and to organizations (e.g., decreased job performance, withdrawal behaviors, etc.). Paradoxically, despite their dysfunctional effects, HR managers and supervisors pay little attention to the management of role tensions!

What is work engagement?

Francophone researchers translate the concept of work commitment as either professional engagement or work involvement, which adds confusion to a research field that hardly needs any more, given the complexity of the concept. Indeed, an individual can be committed to different targets (the organization, the job position, the work team, the profession, the union, etc.), and these commitments can take different forms (affective, calculative, or even normative). Organizations seek committed employees—particularly those committed to their organization, their job, or their work team—because commitment (especially affective commitment) is a source of job performance, satisfaction, and occupational well-being.

What is FOMO?

Several blogs and websites focused on social media marketing suggest that, for brands with an Instagram account, it can be profitable to cultivate their followers’ fear of missing out (“FoMO”) by posting ephemeral content. Based on an online survey conducted with 550 followers of various brand Instagram accounts and an experimental study involving 535 participants, this article shows that the ephemeral nature of content triggers FoMO among followers, which in turn positively influences engagement and fatigue toward the brand’s account. Engagement (respectively, fatigue) toward the brand’s account is in turn positively (respectively, negatively) related to attitude toward the brand and attachment to it. Further analyses reveal that the total effect of followers’ FoMO on brand attachment is positive and significant, whereas the total effect of FoMO on attitude toward the brand is not significant. Moreover, the ephemeral nature of content has a total negative and significant effect on attitude toward the brand. These findings therefore indicate that it is not advantageous for brands to foster FoMO among their Instagram followers by posting ephemeral content.

Innovation Pays Off—Especially with University Partners

Cette étude analyse 2 986 entreprises d’Amérique latine (2009–2017, base LAIS) pour comprendre comment les collaborations universités–entreprises influencent le lien entre dépenses d’innovation et résultats d’innovation. Les résultats montrent (1) une relation positive entre dépenses et résultats, et (2) un effet modérateur significatif de la collaboration universitaire : à budget équivalent, les entreprises partenaires des universités obtiennent davantage d’innovations. La qualité des partenariats compte autant que leur existence. Implications : structurer la coopération (objectifs, IP), investir dans le capital humain, et mobiliser les ressources académiques comme amplificateurs de capacité.

Beyond Tech Transfer: How University Collaborations Turn R&D into Results

Les entreprises investissent massivement en R&D, mais l’impact reste parfois inégal. Travailler avec les universités aide à passer des idées aux solutions utiles—non seulement via les brevets ou les équipements, mais grâce à la dimension humaine des connaissances. Un langage partagé, des routines simples et un apprentissage conjoint alignent les équipes et évitent les retours en arrière. En co-concevant le cahier des charges, en libérant un peu de temps aux chercheurs et en s’appuyant sur un soutien juridique et de gestion de projet solide, la collaboration avance mieux. Le prestige peut ouvrir la première porte, mais la valeur naît du travail quotidien ensemble : adoption plus rapide, processus améliorés, compétences qui restent dans l’entreprise. Quand les universités reconnaissent et valorisent ces résultats, les partenariats se renforcent. En bref : investir dans la relation qui porte le savoir-faire sécurise et améliore le rendement de la R&D.

What is the budget?

Prepared at the end of the fiscal year for the following period, a budget is a forecasting and control tool used to organize an organization’s activities and measure their financial impact, typically over a maximum of one year. It represents the quantitative and financial expression of the short-term action plan of management. At the end of the period, budget reconciliation allows for updating forecasts based on the results of the past year and the objectives for the coming year. Some companies choose to prepare rolling budgets or rolling forecasts. Budgets are often subject to criticism, and in response, new approaches are emerging.
