AI-enabled workforce integration: blended human resource contribution rate in Chinese companies

With the development of AI technology, the employment mode of companies is undergoing unprecedented changes.

The paper defines the composition of blended human resources of a company as three types of formal employees, flexible workers and intelligent machine workers, constructs a blended human resource contribution rate calculation method based on BP-MIV, and analyzes the data of automobile manufacturing companies in 2022.

The results show that the contribution rate of blended human resources to company performance is 73.81%. Among them, the contribution rate of formal employees is 19.55%, while flexible workers and intelligent machine workers, despite their significantly smaller proportion in number compared to formal employees, have contribution rates of 20.26% and 34.00%, respectively. In further discussions, the calculation results of the blended human resource contribution rate based on the production function method were compared with those based on the BP-MIV method.

The findings indicate that the BP-MIV-based calculation method exhibits certain advantages in capturing nonlinear relationships, such as the synergistic effects of various types of blended human resources on company performance. This study attempts to propose a preliminary theoretical framework and methodological approach for blended human resource management research in the AI era.
