Encourage or Reject Employee Involvement: Value Creation in Human Resource Management in the AI Era-An Evolutionary Game Analysis of Enterprises and Employees.

In the context of globalization and rapid technological advancement, the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has brought new opportunities and challenges to Human Resource Management (HRM). This study constructs an evolutionary game model to explore the strategy choices and evolutionary paths of enterprises and employees in HRM value co-creation with AI involvement. We numerically simulated the dynamic evolution of strategies under different scenarios, revealing the equilibrium characteristics of strategic interactions between enterprises and employees in the AI context. The study finds that, first, the evolutionary game system between enterprises and employees converges to two equilibrium points: {cooperation, active} and {non-cooperation, passive}. Overall, the probability of the former is 2.39 times greater than that of the latter. Second, higher initial probabilities of cooperation and active involvement, along with lower costs for cooperation and active involvement, facilitate the system's evolution towards the {cooperation, active} equilibrium. Third, enterprises are more sensitive to the benefit distribution ratio than employees. This study provides theoretical support for effectively conducting HRM practices in the AI era through systematic analysis of HRM value co-creation behavior, along with practical policy recommendations.
