This week, I tried a variety of research strategies with the goal of building a collection of sources related to how artificial intelligence might be used to shape organizational culture. First, I started by brainstorming for about 10 minutes to come up with as many words related to the general idea as I could. Then I tried the SU library database and used the keyword and advanced search functions and some filters. I tend to start over with new search terms if I don\u2019t see promising articles in the first four or five pages of search results, but part of me is always thinking the perfect article is just one more page away. I noticed sometimes my keywords were too specific or narrow. I found better results when I used a term like \u201chuman resources\u201d instead of a string of individual words like \u201chiring\u201d or \u201crecruitment.\u201d I found several interesting scholarly articles, newspaper editorials, and blog links this way. By skimming the citations in these documents, I found some additional articles and started a side list of scholars and authors who seemed interested in the same topics. I also did the same types of searches in Google, which led me to some interesting reports and studies by companies like McKinsey and IBM. To find scholarly sources in Google, it helped when I added the search term \u201cscholarly\u201d or \u201ccited by\u201d to those searches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, I found an infographic that I thought others would find interesting. It shows all the different startup companies working on technologies related to hiring and recruiting. Check it out here: Talent Acquisition Ecosystem 8.0<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After doing my first research session, I ended up with a broad selection of articles that are somewhat related, but I realize I will have to make some critical decisions to determine which of them will be most useful. I haven\u2019t figured out a way to \u201center the conversation\u201d yet, but I expect to get more focused the more reading I do. Also, I plan to watch Persona<\/em>, the documentary that Sherri included in her post, and I will take notes to see if people involved in the film would be good leads for more sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on my efforts so far, I don\u2019t think I will have trouble finding several solid scholarly sources. As for primary sources, I would love to find some firsthand accounts of people who build AI systems for human resources, people who use these systems in their HR or management roles, and employees who may have been affected positively or negatively by them. I am considering coming up with some interview questions that I could send to a few people, but I think this might be very time-consuming. Along these lines, I will probably explore LinkedIn to see if any thought leaders are posting interesting articles about this topic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
