headline: A Framework for Future Human Resource Management Individual Competencies: An Integrative Review
dek: The advent of automation, artificial intelligence and disruptive technologies has affected the role of the Human Resource Management (HRM) professionals and taken over some HRM functions thereby imposing new sets of competencies for HRM professionals. Yet, there is limited research on the full spectrum of competencies needed to execute the HRM function successfully in an increasingly technologically dynamic environment. Hence, the purpose of this research was to develop a framework for future HRM individual comp…
gain_title: Researchers developed a future-ready HRM competency framework identifying four themes, increasing awareness of skills HR professionals need as technology evolves.
problem_title: Automation and AI have affected HRM professional roles and taken over some HRM functions, imposing new competency requirements that existing research has not fully mapped.
trace_subject: competency requirements for HRM professionals as AI and automation reshape HRM functions
gain_reading: Researchers developed a future-ready HRM competency framework identifying four themes, increasing awareness of skills HR professionals need as technology evolves.
gain_evidence: HRM professionals are now made aware of the competencies needed to be future-ready | The following four competency themes were found in this study: Intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies; information and technology competencies; ability to advance human capabilities and lastly, value-adding business competencies

quick_read: Published March 23, 2026, this peer-reviewed integrative review examined how automation, artificial intelligence and disruptive technologies are changing human resource management. Using thematic analysis of secondary data, the authors identified four competency themes and proposed a framework intended to make HRM professionals aware of skills needed to be future-ready.

The work matters for labor because it translates broad claims about AI taking over HRM functions into a structured set of individual competencies, highlighting a workforce adaptation challenge. Uncertainty remains because the framework is derived from secondary literature rather than observed workplace outcomes, and the source notes limited prior research on the full competency spectrum.
limitation: The review notes limited prior research on the full competency spectrum and relies on secondary data analyzed qualitatively, which constrains generalizability of the proposed framework.
tag: Automated dual reading
key_points: Study used qualitative integrative review of secondary data with thematic analysis using manual colour coding in Microsoft Excel. | Authors identified gap: limited research on full spectrum of competencies needed in technologically dynamic environment. | Four competency themes include intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies, information and technology competencies, ability to advance human capabilities, and value-adding business competencies.
rundown: The authors conducted an integrative review of secondary literature, coding data manually in Microsoft Excel to extract competency themes relevant to a technologically dynamic environment.

The resulting framework organizes future requirements into intrapersonal and interpersonal competencies, information and technology competencies, ability to advance human capabilities, and value-adding business competencies.

How to verify without trusting this page

Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-0284 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
