Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has created vast
opportunities in the workplace through advancements in robotics, which
integrate both AI and the Internet of Things (IoT). Key benefits associated
with Industry 5.0 include precision, efficiency, and flexibility. However, the
successful implementation of Industry 5.0 requires significant transformations,
particularly within the Human Resources (HR) function. In this new industrial
paradigm, HR capabilities become increasingly critical, offering organizations
a strategic advantage. HR professionals must be adaptable and proactive in
addressing emerging challenges and evolving demands. This study explores the
role of AI in the digital transformation of HR practices within the context of
Industry 5.0. A total of 271 HR professionals from the Information Technology
(IT), manufacturing, and service sectors participated in the research. The
focus was on five AI application areas within HR and three key components of HR
readiness. Data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences (SPSS) and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS).The findings reveal
that organizational structure analysis plays a vital role in achieving
sustainable growth. Each of the five AI application areas positively supports
adaptability and HR capability. Among these, improvements in employee
well-being and workplace safety emerged as particularly important aspects of AI
integration in HR.
