| Do employee-friendly practices affect executive pay-performance sensitivity? Evidence from corporate annuity systems in China. By Hu, Feng;Chen, Xiaoqiu;Liu, Xinming;Yang, Chuyl Applied Economics. Aug2026, Vol. 58 Issue 36, p7602-7619. 18p. Abstract :Leveraging China`s corporate annuity system, a state-guaranteed and employee-friendly practice, we examine its impact on executive pay-performance sensitivity. Our study results show a significant increase in executive pay-performance sensitivity when firms establish an annuity system. Mechanism tests indicate that the optimization of firms` human capital structure results in increased executive pay-performance sensitivity following the establishment of the annuity system. In cross-sectional analysis, the effect of the annuity system on executive pay-performance sensitivity is more pronounced among high-tech firms and companies with lower financing constraints. We contribute to the research on employee-related corporate governance reforms by elucidating the role of employees in executive compensation contracts, thereby aiding global firms in deepening their positive perceptions of employee-friendly practices | ||
| Remotely crafting technology acceptance: an exploratory study of how job crafting behaviours and remote working influence the perception of technology. By Aplin-Houtz, Matthew J.;Lane, Emily;Sharma, Sachin;Murray, Johnna;Leahy, Sean;Pines, Eliana;Thomas, Ashley;Sanders, Mark Human Resource Development International. Aug2026, Vol. 29 Issue 4, p701-730. 30p. Abstract :With nearly one-third of all workers in the United States now being remote, there is a need to use technology to meet organisational and personal goals. The potential of job crafting behaviours to influence technology acceptance in remote work settings has yet to be thoroughly investigated. Understanding how these behaviours affect technology perception can guide tailored interventions for diverse personality types. Anchored in the Job Characteristics Model and the Technology Acceptance Model, this study examines how job crafting behaviours influence perceptions of new technology among remote workers in the U.S. (N = 291). Our analysis reveals cognitive and relational crafting behaviours have varying impacts on the perceived ease of use and usefulness of technology. Cognitive crafting introduces complexities, reducing perceived effectiveness, while relational crafting enhances perceived usefulness. Task crafting positively impacts both ease of use and usefulness. These results underscore the importance of considering job crafting behaviours to enhance technology acceptance in remote work environments. | ||
| Role of AI on EI and its lead to improve HRD skills. By Kumari, K. Thriveni Human Resource Development International. Aug2026, Vol. 29 Issue 4, p870-881. 12p. Abstract :In the past few years, it has been observed that there has been a rise in the growth of artificial intelligence (AI). Moreover, it is identified that AI popularity has been influencing emotional intelligence (EI) among the employees. In fact, for all levels of employees, EI has been an inspiring word. Moreover, to ensure the growth of the organisations, they look upon technological advances that would support employees to improve their skills in HRD (human resource development) and remain focused on developing people and resources that move them forward. It is known that a person with high EI would experience favourable HRD skills in their profession, family, and society, and ultimately, it would lead to good relations in family and workplace. Therefore, the present study would help us to understand the role of AI on EI among the employees and its influence on improving employees HRD skills. | ||
