THE USE OF INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGIES IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH HRM FUNCTIONS
The digitalization and development of intelligent technologies increasingly affect human resource management, yet empirical evidence on how specific technologies relate to individual HRM functions remains limited, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe. This study aimed to examine relationships between the use of selected intelligent technologies (artificial intelligence, Big Data, the Internet of Things, and virtual reality) and the level of HRM functions in organizations. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey of 150 HR managers from medium-sized and large enterprises operating in Slovakia, using a five-point Likert scale. Relationships were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation coefficient with Benjamini–Hochberg (FDR) correction; statistical analyses were conducted in SPSS and visualized via correlation heatmaps in R. The results revealed statistically significant positive relationships between all examined technologies and HRM functions, with the strongest associations for Big Data and weaker but consistent relationships for virtual reality. The study contributes by identifying technological areas most closely linked to HRM functions in Slovak enterprises, while its limitations include the cross-sectional design, national focus, and the inability to infer causality.
