Background/Purpose: As the automotive industry continues to develop due to technological advancements, so too do the challenges connected with globalization of operations and the strategic management of human resources. Therefore, our objective was to map the current research work performed for the period of 2014–2024. Moreover, we conducted a comprehensive analysis regarding emerging topics related to strategic human resources, workforce planning and forecasting, employee wellness, and reskilling/upskilling. Study Design/Methodology/Approach: The methodology used for this review was a Systematic Literature Review, following the PRISMA protocol to remove biases in the review. The search keywords were: workforce planning, strategic HR, skills, employee wellness, and upskilling. In total, 180 articles were retrieved from SCOPUS. Findings: We found that the scholarly work over the year has fluctuated, showing an overall increasing trend of scientific production. The principal themes discussed were ‘human, ergonomics, and industrial research’. The research trends were: leadership, knowledge management, innovation, skills, and COVID-19. We concluded that most of the impact on employee satisfaction and upskilling is on an operational level. Originality/Value: Furthermore, our comprehensive review offers theoretical and practical implications in line with the COVID-19 impact and HR strategies.

A tanulmány célja a vezetői kríziskommunikáció szerepének és hatásainak vizsgálata a szervezeti válságkezelésben. A modern üzleti és társadalmi környezetben a krízishelyzetek kezelésére irányuló hatékony vezetői stratégiák kulcsfontosságúak a szervezetek hosszú távú sikeressége és stabilitása szempontjából. A tanulmány elméleti összefoglalóként vizsgálja a transzparens és hiteles tájékoztatás, valamint a közösségi média szerepét a válságkommunikációban, amelyek az azonnali információáramlás lehetőségével új kihívásokat is teremtenek, mint például az álhírek terjedése. A kutatás hozzájárul a vezetői énmárka és kríziskommunikáció közötti kapcsolat mélyebb megértéséhez, valamint az érintettek bizalmának és hírnevének megőrzéséhez válsághelyzetekben.

Using secondary data, we empirically examine two biasing effects that may arise in the written evaluation of large groups of students. Suppose the students take the examination in consecutive groups, and we wish to avoid the distortion caused by tests of different difficulty. In that case, we can decide to use the same examination questions. However, the danger of the "same test effect" arises, according to which the group writing later can perform better if it receives information from the examinees in the previous round. Using the same examination tests cannot be recommended if that effect is significant. Another related potential phenomenon is the "revealed sameness effect". Accordingly, if the examinees are aware of the repetition of the questions, it significantly increases the scores of the following group. We tested these phenomena using the data of a three-round written examination. A previously published analysis of a larger sample found that the "same test effect" can be expected if the students decide in which round they take the examination. Since it was possible to freely register for the examination rounds for the assessment analyzed in this study, we assume that the "same test effect" will be significant. Based on the literature, we also expected that the "revealed sameness effect" would occur in the third round. The performed linear regression analysis (N=77) only found some weak evidence for the 'revealed sameness effect' but not for the 'same test effect'.
