A quantitative research method comprised data gathering from a total of 120 participants who were both HR professionals and AI specialists and banking employees throughout different organizations. Researchers applied SmartPLS-SEM to perform descriptive along with inferential analysis of the data. The results reveal that AI adoption significantly enhances HR functions, particularly in training (β= 0.532, R2 = 0.604), performance evaluation (β= 0.508, R2 = 0.561), and recruitment (β= 0.421, R2 = 0.452). Rankings from Importance-Performance Map Analysis (IPMA) showed AI-driven training as the most effective element (Importance = 0.801; Performance = 82.3) among surveyed managers. The analysis of mediation showed that employee performance depends significantly on training and payroll automation systems. AI governance requires transparency and person-focused principles to address observed ethical problems involving algorithmic biases and data privacy restrictions. People who manage human resources showed unique AI attitudes than professionals who work with AI tools. This study identifies key recommendations that policy makers and bank executives need to apply to develop ethical AI-HRM practices that help operations work better while reducing moral issues.</p>2025-05-10T00:00:00-05:00Copyright (c) https://ijbea.com/ojs/index.php/ijbea/article/view/452Job Satisfaction, Mental Health and Gratitude Among Indigenious and Overseas Pakistani Employees2025-05-27T08:24:56-05:00Asfand Yarsajidmalvi@yahoo.comDr. Sajid Mehmood Alvisajidmalvi@yahoo.comTania Shahsajidmalvi@yahoo.com<p>This study looks at the links between job happiness, mental health, and thankfulness among Pakistani employees, both locally and globally. A quantitative study approach was used, with 400 individuals (200 indigenous and 200 foreign Pakistani personnel) recruited using purposive sampling. Three tools were used to collect data: the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS), the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS), and the Gratitude Questionnaire. Statistical analyses were performed with SPSS version 27, which included descriptive statistics, regression analysis, one-way ANOVA, and correlation analysis. The findings show that job satisfaction has a substantial impact on both mental health and thankfulness, with higher job satisfaction related with better mental health outcomes and increased appreciation. Conversely, low work satisfaction is associated with worse mental health and lower feelings of thankfulness. Job satisfaction, mental health, or thankfulness were demonstrated that it was different among native and international personnel. These findings emphasize the need of a comprehensive approach to employee well-being, implying that increasing job satisfaction can improve mental health and thankfulness. This has ramifications for organizations that want to establish friendly and effective work cultures.</p>2025-05-10T00:00:00-05:00Copyright (c)
