Abstract

As remote work becomes more prevalent; organizations face challenges in effectively managing and evaluating the performance of remote employees. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in remote performance management has gained attention as a potential solution. This paper explores the benefits, challenges, and ethical considerations associated with using AI tools for remote performance management. The benefits include real-time performance monitoring, personalized feedback generation, and data-driven insights. However, challenges such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and employee acceptance must be addressed. Ethical considerations involve ensuring data privacy, addressing biases, and maintaining human oversight. This literature review highlights the need for further research to evaluate the effectiveness and long-term impact of AI-driven remote performance management systems. It also emphasizes the importance of transparency, fairness, and employee trust in the implementation of AI tools for remote performance management. This research paper can be useful for researchers, academicians, HR practitioners and other experts in the business domains.
