2025-11-17T07:49:08+00:00

Legal literacy has emerged as a critical competency for human resource professionals in contemporary organisational environments characterised by complex regulatory frameworks and heightened compliance requirements. This review examines the intersection of legal knowledge, HR practice, and organisational management systems, synthesising research on how legal literacy influences HR decision-making, risk management, and strategic organisational outcomes. The paper explores the conceptual foundations of legal literacy in HR contexts, examines empirical evidence on its impact on organisational performance, and identifies key dimensions of law-aware management systems. Findings suggest that HR professionals with enhanced legal literacy contribute significantly to organisational compliance, employee relations, and strategic value creation, though significant gaps remain in training and development approaches.

Employee Rights and Employer Duties in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Legal and Organizational Implications

2025-11-17T07:56:23+00:00

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how organizations manage their employees, from recruitment and evaluation to surveillance and task automation. These technologies promise efficiency and standardization but also challenge established legal and ethical norms that protect workers. This paper examines the key legal and organizational implications of AI adoption in employment. It discusses how AI changes privacy expectations, introduces new forms of algorithmic discrimination, and reshapes employer duties concerning transparency, accountability, and fairness. The paper also highlights the duty to retrain displaced workers, the importance of employee participation in technological change, and the need for updated legal frameworks. The study concludes that responsible AI governance in workplaces must combine human oversight, ethical design, and legal safeguards to protect worker dignity while supporting innovation.
