Abstract:

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, many hotels have introduced robots to cooperate with employees during service operations. The purpose of human-robot co-production is to free employees from simple and repetitive transactional work so that they have more time to engage in creative and emotional work. However, theoretical research on whether this goal can be achieved is lacking. Based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, this paper explores the process through which human-robot co-production affects employee innovation performance. Through a questionnaire survey of 382 frontline hotel employees and a regression analysis of the data, it is found that human-robot co-production has a positive impact on innovation performance, and challenge appraisal and work engagement play a chain-mediating role in this process. Developmental human resource practices positively moderate the relationship between human-robot co-production and challenge appraisal, and between human-robot co-production and work engagement. The research conclusions enrich the literature on human-robot interaction and employee management in theory and have practical implications for hotel managers seeking to make better use of robot technology and employees’human capital to improve innovation performance.

Key words: human-robot co-production, challenge appraisal, work engagement, developmental human resource practices, innovation performance

摘要:

随着人工智能技术的飞速发展,诸多酒店引入机器人与员工合作生产。人机合作的目的在于将员工从简单重复的事务性工作中解放出来,使其有更多时间从事具有创造性和情感性的工作。然而这一目标能否实现,仍缺乏理论研究。本文基于JD-R模型,探索人机合作生产对员工创新绩效的影响过程。通过对382位酒店一线员工进行问卷调查,并对数据进行回归分析,发现人机合作生产正向影响创新绩效,挑战性评估和工作投入在此过程中起到链式中介作用,发展型人力资源实践正向调节人机合作生产与挑战性评估、工作投入的关系。研究结论在理论上丰富了人机互动和员工管理的研究成果,在实践上对酒店管理者如何更好地利用机器人技术和员工的人力资本进而提高创新绩效具有一定的启示。
