    Exploring approaches to overcome challenges in adopting human resource analytics through stakeholder engagement
    (Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2025-02-24) Alam S; Dong Z; Kularatne I; Rashid MS
    As modern enterprises increasingly turn to data-driven decision-making, human resource management (HRM) has also embraced the potential of human resource analytics (HRA) to optimize talent management and gain a competitive edge. However, adopting HRA in practice presents challenges across data governance, technical, and organizational domains. This systematic review, synthesizing insights from 110 studies, identifies key obstacles and practical strategies to address them. Recommendations include fostering a data-driven culture, enhancing training and development, and promoting team collaboration. By tackling these challenges, HR professionals can unlock the full potential of HRA, transforming HRM into a strategic driver of organizational success.

    Exploring upstream affective influence: how followers can shape leader support
    (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025-03-03) Rashid MS; McGhee P
    Purpose Little is known about how followers can influence leaders through affect display. This paper explores the relationship between follower affect and leader support through the mediating processes of leader social mindfulness and leader affect. Design/methodology/approach This paper is based on two studies (Pakistan and New Zealand) and employs a multisource time-lagged design. Multilevel analysis was conducted using the MLwiN program to test hypotheses. Findings Follower positive affect has a beneficial impact on leader support behavior, and negative affect has a detrimental effect. Leader affect and social mindfulness partially mediate these direct relationships. Practical implications Leaders should acknowledge that followers, too, can influence them via affect display. Organizations need to train leaders to boost their emotional intelligence. Originality/value This research provides additional evidence on follower-leader influences. It adds to leadership literature by providing a novel understanding of the underlying mechanisms of how follower affect can shape leader factors.

    Work Demands, Work-Life Balance and Affect: A Study of Pakistan Managers
    (17/01/2022) Rashid MS
    Drawing on the Conservation of Resources theory, this study investigates work demands and their influence on positive and negative affect. In addition, work-life balance is included as a mediator. It is expected that while work demands are detrimental to affect and work-life balance, the direct effect on affect will be mediated by work-life balance. While much is known about these factors in Western economies, there is a lack of insights into more unique cultures like Pakistan. Furthermore, the links between work-life balance and affect are less common, making this a worthwhile outcome to explore. Overall, data came from 101 Pakistan managers. Analysis included direct effects and mediation analysis, using the PROCESS macro (including indirect effects). Overall, strong support for the study model was found. Indeed, while work demands were negative to positive affect and work-life balance, and positive to negative affect, these effects were fully mediated by work-life balance. However, examining the indirect effects showed that work demands still play a significant and detrimental role on affect. The findings highlight that while the influence work-life balance on affect is important, it is still important to consider the role of work demands. Overall, the study highlights the importance of work roles on the affect of Pakistan managers. The implications for HRM and researchers are discussed.
