Customer behavior and adoption · Full-text open-access qualitative meta-synthesis/systematic review
Factors influencing artificial intelligence adoption in human resource management: a meta-synthesis and systematic review of multidimensional considerations
Mohammad Pedrami, Seyed Kamal Vaezi (2026). Journal of Work-Applied Management.
Plain-English take
Five themes organize adoption factors: organizational/strategic, technological/operational, human-centric, challenges/opportunities, and environmental/economic; ethical and legal considerations were especially prominent. For a founder, use this as a question to test in your own context, not a universal playbook.
How much weight to give this
3.5/5 Useful evidence with meaningful caveats
The 1–5 evidence-check score is a practical reading aid, not a formal peer review or a probability that a conclusion is true. It combines design strength (2 points), sample reporting (1), comparison/control clarity (1), and how much of the paper could be checked (1). Access affects how confidently this directory can assess a study, not the study's underlying quality. Blinding is reported separately because it is not relevant to every design.
Synthesis or analytical design addresses the question, but conclusions depend on included literature or model assumptions.
The reviewed source reports a sample or corpus size (2015); size alone does not establish representativeness.
The comparison structure is limited or depends on the paper's model/context.

Double-blind? Blinding was not established from the captured source; it may not apply to this study design.
Research question
What the authors investigated
Which multidimensional factors influence AI adoption in HRM?
Design
Qualitative meta-synthesis systematically analyzing qualitative and quantitative studies published from 2015 to 2023.
Sample and setting
Peer-reviewed AI-in-HRM studies published 2015–2023; the accessible article synthesizes the selected literature rather than a new respondent sample.
Reported result
What the study found
Five themes organize adoption factors: organizational/strategic, technological/operational, human-centric, challenges/opportunities, and environmental/economic; ethical and legal considerations were especially prominent.
This is a paraphrase of the source. Check the original paper for definitions, estimates, statistical uncertainty and analysis details.
Scope and transfer
Limitations to keep in view
Qualitative meta-synthesis depends on the included literature and search/synthesis choices; the publisher article does not report a new field sample.
Possible founder application
Treat this as evidence for the specific customer behavior and adoption question studied. Compare the setting and sample to your company before changing a growth decision; use a local experiment where the paper does not match your context.

Publisher DOI record and accessible article/abstract directly support the bibliographic record and the summary fields; editorial review remains appropriate for duplicate checking against the unseen 300-study library. Correction notices were not separately verified in this collection; consult the current publisher record before applying the findings.
If only an abstract or metadata was available, the profile is limited to claims supported there. A paper's paywall does not change its evidentiary status, but it limits what we can substantiate from accessible text.
