  Introduction CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) is defined as corporate self-regulation aimed at benefiting society, particularly people, the environment, and the company's employees. Even if it is voluntary, participation in charitable and volunteer activities has a significant impact on a company's image. Let's have a look at some research on CSR and how it supports and benefits businesses. The field of corporate social responsibility (CSR) studies the link between the concept and the financial success of businesses (Aguilera et al., 2007; Margolis and Walsh, 2003).

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in HR

Image
  Artificial Intelligence  (AI)  enables machines to think like humans (Barboza, 2019). The goal of computer science's AI field is to work on machine-driven intelligence that can address cognitive challenges that are normally associated with human intellect. As a result, artificial intelligence is capable of performing a wide range of human cognitive functions, including learning, problem-solving, reasoning, and even language processing. The human and technological focus is clearly the future of HR, with the latter being considered by some as a potential danger to HR as we know it. The more pragmatic and positive view is that AI's continuous progress will be the great liberator of HR's time, allowing HR leaders, practitioners, and people managers to refocus on the people interactions that really count.   Benefits Of Artificial Intelligence For HR HR has the most sophisticated data management and analytical requirements of any industry. Any department's ability to a

Job satisfaction occurs when an employee believes he or she has job stability, career advancement, and a comfortable work-life balance. Despite its widespread use in scientific research and everyday life, there is still no general agreement on what job satisfaction is. In fact, there is no definitive concept of what a job entail.
