Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly present in organizations. In the specific case of Human Resource Management (HRM), AI has become increasingly relevant in recent years. This article aims to perform a bibliometric analysis of the scientific literature that addresses in a connected way the application and impact of AI in the field of HRM. The scientific databases consulted were Web of Science and Scopus, yielding an initial number of 156 articles, of which 73 were selected for subsequent analysis. The information was processed using the Bibliometrix tool, which provided information on annual production, analysis of journals, authors, documents, keywords, etc. The results obtained show that AI applied to HRM is a developing field of study with constant growth and a positive future vision, although it should also be noted that it has a very specific character as a result of the fact that most of the research is focused on the application of AI in recruitment and selection actions, leaving aside other sub-areas with a great potential for application.
This paper analyzes how Digital Transformation (DT) processes have influenced the Attitude of local governments (LGs) toward the COVID-19 pandemic and their effect on achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The data were collected from LGs in Spain ( n = 124) through a questionnaire in which the IT skills of their workers, the DT processes, budgets, degree of regulatory compliance, and implementation of trust seals were measured, together with the IT security measures adopted. The contrast between the proposed model and the results showed that the direct influence of IT security influences the government’s attitude toward COVID-19 and DT implementing actions to achieve SDGs. The findings of this work are of great value both for the actors involved in the design and implementation of public policies and for those responsible for local governance in their objective to improve citizens’ experience of the services provided and in exceptional situations such as the one experienced as a result, of-COVID-19.

As a consequence of advances in Information and Communication Technologies, teleworking is becoming more and more common in organizations. These new ways of working create new challenges for companies such as team cohesion despite working in different locations. This article aims to analyze the effect of the use of so-called “virtual worlds” on the group cohesion of employees in organizations. The focus group methodology has made it possible to gather the beliefs and opinions of company employees about the use of these resources and tools. The results obtained show the positive effect of the use of virtual worlds on the cohesion of the teleworking team.
A partir de la revisión de la literatura de carácter científico relacionada con el marco competencial para el emprendimiento Entrecomp, se analiza y discute sobre el uso y el nivel de aplicación que ha tenido, desde su publicación en 2016, en la producción científica relacionada con las competencias emprendedoras y su entrenamiento. Entrecomp, surge a instancias de la Comisión Europea, con el objetivo de establecer una herramienta que pudiera ser utilizada a la hora de analizar la orientación emprendedora de los planes de formación y estudios de los países que conforman la Unión Europea. La metodología empleada ha sido la de la revisión sistemática de los trabajos relacionados con las competencias emprendedoras y de manera más específica con el marco competencia Entrecomp. Los resultados obtenidos permiten determinar el escaso impacto y limitado uso que ha tenido hasta ahora este marco competencial. Esto se observa tanto en trabajos de carácter empírico como de carácter teórico.
Este trabajo determina qué elementos influyen en la potencial propensión a actuar (PA) a la hora de emprender desde una perspectiva de género del alumnado universitario. Se ha realizado a partir del Modelo del Evento Emprendedor de Shapero y Sokol (1982) y las investigaciones empíricas de Liñán y Chen (2009) sobre la modelización de variables para medir la PA con el fin de emprender. Se suministró un cuestionario al alumnado de último curso del Grado de Relaciones Laborales y Recursos Humanos de la Universidad de Sevilla, entre los años académicos 2012-2013 a 2019-2020, obteniéndose un total de 663 respuestas. Los resultados evidencian que existen similitudes y diferencias entre la PA del alumnado. En el caso de las variables que influyen en la PA de hombres y mujeres se encuentran la conveniencia percibida (CP), la percepción de viabilidad (PV) y el hecho de tener una persona progenitora emprendedora. Entre las que se identifican diferencias destacan, la deseabilidad de ser persona emprendedora y algunas capacidades específicas. Esta investigación pone de relieve la importancia de adaptar la educación emprendedora a los distintos perfiles de alumnado en una universidad. This work determines which elements influence the potential Propensity to act for entrepreneurship (PA) of university students from a gender perspective. Based on Shapero and Sokol's (1982) Model of the Entrepreneurial Event and Liñán and Chen's (2009) empirical research on modelling variables to measure the propensity to act for entrepreneurship, a questionnaire was administered to a total of 663 student respondents. The results showed that there are similarities and differences between student's PA. In the case of the variables that influence the PA of men and women, we found the perceived convenience, the perception of viability and having an entrepreneurial parent. Among those that differed between both sexes, the desirability of being an entrepreneurial person and some specific abilities stood out. This research highlights the importance of adapting entrepreneurial training to each student.
