Bridging Psychology and HRM in the Posthuman Era: A Bibliometric Exploration of Emotional Intelligence, Mental Health, and Employee Performance

Abstract

This study investigates how psychological theories specifically emotional regulation, motivation, and personality traits enhance Human Resource Management (HRM) strategies, focusing on employee well-being and organizational performance. Employing a bibliometric and systematic review of 440 academic articles, it reveals that integrating psychology into HRM, particularly through High-Performance Work Systems (HPWS), leads to improved employee engagement, job satisfaction, and mental health. Emotional intelligence (EI) emerges as a critical factor, mitigating stress and burnout. Nonetheless, challenges like cultural diversity and resistance to change require context-specific interventions. This research offers a global perspective and practical recommendations to optimize HR practices through psychological principles.
