Abstract:Background and Purpose: The emergence of new technologies affects different business areas, including HR activities. Employee communication is an HR activity that can be automated with the application of chatbots. Besides the numerous advantages these artificial entities offer, the challenges generated by them also need to be considered. One such challenge is user acceptance, which plays a substantial role in the implementation. This study aims to explore employees’ behavioural responses to HR chatbots. Thus, we applied the sensemaking perspective, according to which new, unknown phenomena induce the need for interpretation in individuals that simultaneously shape individuals’ behaviour toward the phenomenon. Methodology: For data collection, we conducted semi-structured interviews that were analysed with interpretive phenomenological analysis (IPA). The sample consisted of 6 HR professionals and ten general users. The study took place at the Hungarian organisations of a multinational company. Results: The analysis revealed that subjects who attributed positive meanings to the HR chatbot typically engaged in actions that aligned with organisational expectations, i.e., using the digital assistant became part of their routine. Interestingly, the closer HR professionals are to technology in their work activities, the more positively they perceive it. However, having ambivalent feelings towards technology resulted in occasional use or avoidance, while experiencing negative feelings led to the rejection of use. Conclusion: We explored the different meanings employees attributed to the HR bot and their actions directed towards it both in the initial and transitional technology adoption phase. The results contribute to understanding how an HR chatbot can be successfully implemented in an organisation.

Title:Preučevanje vedenjskih odzivov zaposlenih, z vidika smiselnosti, na klepetalnega robota s področja kadrovskega managementa
Abstract:Ozadje in namen: Pojav novih tehnologij vpliva na različna poslovna področja, vključno s kadrovsko dejavnostjo. Komunikacija zaposlenih je kadrovska dejavnost, ki jo lahko avtomatiziramo z uporabo klepetalnic. Poleg številnih prednosti, ki jih ponujajo te umetne entitete, je treba upoštevati tudi izzive, ki jih ustvarjajo. Eden od takšnih izzivov je njihovo sprejemanje s strani uporabnikov, ki igra pomembno vlogo pri implementaciji. Namen te raziskave je raziskati vedenjske odzive zaposlenih na klepetalnice. V raziskavi smo uporabili smiselno perspektivo, po kateri novi, neznani pojavi v posameznikih vzbudijo potrebo po interpretaciji, ki hkrati oblikuje posameznikovo vedenje do pojava. Metodologija: Za zbiranje podatkov smo izvedli polstrukturirane intervjuje, ki smo jih analizirali z interpretativno fenomenološko analizo. Vzorec je sestavljalo šest kadrovikov in deset splošnih uporabnikov. Raziskava je potekala v madžarskem multinacionalnem podjetju. Rezultati: Analiza je pokazala, da so udeleženci raziskave, ki so klepetalnemu robotu pripisovali pozitivne pomene, običajno izvajali dejanja, ki so bila v skladu s pričakovanji organizacije, tj. uporaba digitalnega pomočnika je postala del njihove rutine. Zanimivo je, da čim bolj so kadroviki, pri svojem delu, povezani s tehnologijo, bolj pozitivno jo dojemajo. Ambivalentni občutki do tehnologije pa so povzročili občasno uporabo ali izogibanje klepetalnicam, medtem ko so negativni občutki povzročili zavračanje njihove uporabe. Zaključek: Raziskali smo različne pomene, ki jih zaposleni pripisujejo kadrovskim klepetalnicam, in njihova dejanja, usmerjena proti njim, tako v začetni kot prehodni fazi sprejemanja tehnologije. Rezultati prispevajo k razumevanju, kako je mogoče klepetalnice uspešno implementirati v organizacijo
