????Would you let an algorithm decide your next promotion? Algorithms are taking over HR decisions, from performance evaluations to promotions. The promise? Objectivity, fairness, and reduced administrative burden. But here’s the twist: when algorithms dictate outcomes, they might unintentionally change how we behave—and not always for the better. A study by Isabella Scheibmayr and Astrid Reichel, published in Academy of Management Discoveries (AMD)' special issue on on The Future of Work, used a simulation to uncover a surprising paradox. Workers adjusted their behavior to align with algorithmic evaluations, even when it clashed with their own preferences, leading to discomfort and disengagement. What’s more, their attitudes toward the algorithm had no impact on their actions—suggesting that behavior was driven purely by the system’s design. This highlights Strathern’s Paradox embedded in algorithmic HRM: when metrics become the goal, they can lose their validity and undermine the very outcomes they were meant to achieve. The dilemma reminds us that algorithms, while powerful, aren’t infallible. As organizations embrace AI and automation, how do we ensure these tools enhance—not erode—the human side of HR?
