1. Introduction
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly influenced organizational dynamics, particularly in teamwork, decision-making, and resilience [
1]. As AI technologies evolve, their integration into workplace processes offers unprecedented opportunities for enhancing efficiency, creativity, and adaptability [
2]. However, this integration also presents challenges, including ethical dilemmas, resistance to change, and the need for new leadership paradigms [
3].
This paper aims to provide a holistic review of AI’s role in modern organizations, focusing on three key areas:
The impact of AI on teamwork and collaboration.
AI-driven decision-making processes.
The role of AI in fostering organizational resilience.
Modern organizations face unprecedented complexity from technological disruption and global market dynamics [
1]. Traditional approaches to team coordination struggle with:
Cognitive overload in decision-making processes
Resilience erosion under chronic stress conditions
Suboptimal compliance with evolving protocols
The rapid advancement and increasing pervasiveness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming various aspects of organizational operations, from innovation management to leadership strategies and the ability to withstand and recover from disruptions. This review aims to synthesize recent research that explores the multifaceted impact of AI on these critical organizational functions, while also considering the enduring importance of human factors in this evolving landscape.
The integration of generative AI tools presents both opportunities and challenges for innovation managers seeking to enhance creativity and problem-solving within their teams [
1,
4]. Simultaneously, the rise of Industry 5.0 emphasizes the potential of AI to bolster resilience, particularly for small businesses navigating a dynamic and complex environment [
2]. As AI takes on more complex tasks, the role of leadership is also being redefined, necessitating a re-evaluation of the balance between artificial and emotional intelligence [
3,
5].
This paper will delve into these interconnected themes, examining how AI is being appropriated and its effects on innovation processes. It will also explore how AI can contribute to organizational resilience and the types of leadership required to effectively manage AI integration. Furthermore, we will discuss the crucial role of human-centric skills such as emotional intelligence, empathy, and self-compassion in fostering collaborative and resilient teams in an AI-driven world. By synthesizing these diverse perspectives, this review seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between AI, leadership, and human factors in shaping innovative and resilient organizations.

2. Literature Review
2.1. AI in Innovation Management
The application of AI tools in innovation management is gaining increasing attention. Cimino et al. [
1] investigated the appropriation of generative AI tools, specifically ChatGPT, by innovation managers in Italy. Their findings suggest that innovation orientation and individual creativity positively influence the adoption and personalization of such AI tools. However, the study did not find a significant association between agile leadership and the use of ChatGPT. This highlights the importance of individual characteristics in embracing AI for innovation.
Berman et al. [
4] propose a framework for integrating AI with the STAR Corporate Innovation Model to accelerate innovation. They argue that AI can optimize organizational design, augment human creativity, and accelerate prototyping, among other benefits. However, they also emphasize the need to address human and institutional barriers to AI implementation, including resource constraints, cultural resistance, and ethical considerations.
These studies suggest that while AI offers significant potential to enhance innovation, its successful integration requires a nuanced understanding of individual adoption factors and a strategic approach that considers both technological capabilities and organizational context.
2.2. AI and Organizational Resilience
Resilience, the ability of an organization to withstand and recover from disruptions, is becoming increasingly critical in today’s volatile business environment. Oyedokun and Ishola [
2] explore how AI can be leveraged to enhance resilience in Industry 5.0, particularly for small businesses. They suggest that AI can analyze large datasets to identify risks, optimize resource allocation, and improve customer engagement, thereby contributing to organizational resilience.
Steggemann [
6] examines the management of AI in the workplace to enhance collective intelligence and resilience. The chapter emphasizes the importance of aligning individual and organizational values (experienced integrity) in the context of AI integration to foster a resilient and cohesive workforce.
Carmeli et al. [
7] highlight the role of relational coordination within project teams in building resilience and creative problem-solving capacities, ultimately leading to improved project performance. While their study does not directly focus on AI, it underscores the importance of strong interpersonal relationships as a foundation for resilience, a factor that needs careful consideration as AI systems become more integrated into team processes.
Theofanidis et al. [
5] propose the concept of a "hybrid artificial intelligent (AI) leader" as a response to economic crises. They argue that such a leader, combining AI’s analytical capabilities with human intelligence, could be more effective in predicting, avoiding, and overcoming future economic disruptions, thus enhancing systemic leadership resilience.
Resilience is a critical attribute for organizations navigating rapid change and uncertainty [
7]. AI contributes to resilience by enabling adaptive strategies, real-time monitoring, and crisis response mechanisms [
5]. For instance, small businesses leveraging AI in Industry 5.0 demonstrate enhanced sustainability and customer engagement [
2].
Leadership resilience is also bolstered by AI, as hybrid AI leaders combine human intuition with machine precision to navigate economic crises [
5]. This aligns with the relational view of resilience, where high-quality team relationships foster creative problem-solving [
7].
2.3. Leadership in the Age of AI
The integration of AI necessitates a re-evaluation of traditional leadership paradigms. Dixit and Maurya [
3] discuss the need to equilibrate emotional intelligence (EI) and AI-driven leadership for transnational organizations. They argue that while AI can enhance decision-making through superior information processing, EI remains crucial for human leadership, particularly in areas like interpersonal relationships and navigating ambiguity. Effective leadership in the future may require a synergy between AI’s capabilities and human EI.
Madanchian [
8] explores the evolving role of leaders in innovative teams in the face of automation and AI. The chapter emphasizes the essential skills and approaches required for leaders to adapt to a rapidly changing business landscape influenced by AI.
Bartone [
9] examines leader influences on resilience and adaptability in organizations. While not explicitly focused on AI, the chapter’s insights into how leaders can foster resilience through their actions and behaviors remain relevant in an AI-integrated environment. Leaders will need to adapt their strategies to leverage AI while also nurturing the human elements that contribute to organizational resilience.
2.3.1. AI in Decision-Making
AI’s ability to process vast datasets and identify patterns has revolutionized decision-making in organizations [
10]. Hybrid AI-human decision-making models, such as those proposed by [
11], combine the strengths of both entities to achieve optimal results. In uncertain environments, AI provides predictive analytics and risk assessments, empowering leaders to make informed choices [
12].
The STAR model for corporate innovation exemplifies how AI can accelerate prototyping and optimize organizational design [
4]. However, challenges such as interpretability and bias must be addressed to ensure ethical AI deployment [
13].
2.4. The Role of Human Factors: Emotional Intelligence, Empathy, and Self-Compassion
As AI systems become more sophisticated and integrated into the workplace, the importance of human-centric skills such as emotional intelligence, empathy, and self-compassion remains paramount for effective collaboration, conflict resolution, and overall well-being.
Miller et al. [
14] discuss emotional intelligence as an essential part of a project manager’s skill set, influencing project success. In the context of AI-driven teams, a leader’s EI can be crucial in mediating between human team members and AI systems, ensuring effective communication and collaboration.
Empathy plays a significant role in interpersonal interactions and conflict resolution. Hastings et al. [
15] found associations between student conflict management styles and attitudes toward empathy, suggesting that individuals with higher empathy scores are more likely to adopt accommodating conflict management styles. Bates [
16] examines the effect of empathic mediation in conflict resolution, highlighting how a mediator’s empathy can foster understanding and facilitate agreement. Singha [
17] emphasizes empathy and compassion as fundamental elements of social cognition, influencing engagements in various settings. In an AI-augmented workplace, fostering empathy among team members can help navigate the potential challenges of human-AI interaction and maintain a collaborative environment.
Self-compassion, the ability to be kind and understanding towards oneself in the face of difficulties, also plays a role in well-being and interpersonal relationships. Yarnell and Neff [
18] found that higher levels of self-compassion were related to a greater likelihood to compromise in conflict situations, lower emotional turmoil, and higher relational well-being. In a rapidly changing work environment influenced by AI, self-compassion can help individuals cope with stress and adapt to new roles and responsibilities.
The comparative study of how people think by Cole and Means [
19] and Osgood’s work on the semantic differential technique in cross-cultural studies [
20] remind us of the complexities of human cognition and the importance of considering diverse perspectives when integrating new technologies like AI into human systems.
2.5. AI-Driven Workforce Transformation in Finance
The financial sector’s adoption of generative AI is reshaping workforce requirements and training paradigms, as demonstrated by recent studies. [
21] highlights how GenAI is fundamentally altering financial workforce development, while [
22] quantifies the growing skills gap, showing that 80% of banking professionals will require AI upskilling by 2027. This aligns with [
23]’s findings on agentic AI systems creating new hybrid roles in finance, and [
24]’s policy framework for mitigating workforce disruptions - mirroring the organizational resilience strategies discussed in Section . Collectively, these studies underscore the need for adaptive training approaches like the AI-STAR framework (
Table 2) to bridge emerging competency gaps while maintaining operational continuity during technological transitions.
2.6. Findings and Proposals from AI-Related Bibliography
As shown in
Table 1, recent research demonstrates various approaches for integrating AI into team dynamics. The framework implementations range from cognitive support tools [
1] to predictive analytics [
5].

These areas represent promising directions for future research at the intersection of AI and financial services.
5. The STAR Framework and Related Methodologies
5.1. Behavioral Interviewing in an AI Context
Behavioral interviewing techniques, such as the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) [
25], are widely used to assess candidates’ past behaviors as predictors of future performance. Apple et al. [
26] proposed adding a second "T" to STAR, creating START (Situation, Task, Action, Result, and **Thinking/Transferable Skills**), to further enhance behavioral interviewing. Sharp [
29] highlights the importance of behavioral interview training in engineering classes.
In the context of AI integration, behavioral interviewing remains a valuable tool for assessing not only technical skills but also crucial human factors like adaptability, problem-solving, teamwork, and emotional intelligence, which are essential for navigating an AI-driven workplace. Understanding how candidates have previously interacted with technology and adapted to change can provide insights into their potential to work effectively alongside AI systems.
5.2. STAR Model Fundamentals
The STAR (Situation-Task-Action-Result) framework has evolved as a critical tool for structured behavioral assessment in organizations:
[
25] established STAR’s superiority over traditional interviews, demonstrating 37% higher predictive validity in hiring decisions
[
26] proposed the START extension (adding Reflection), showing improved self-awareness metrics in pharmacy students (
)
[
29] validated STAR’s effectiveness in engineering education, with trained students showing 2.1x higher teamwork scores
5.3. AI-Enhanced STAR Applications
Recent integrations with artificial intelligence:
[
4] developed the STAR Corporate Innovation Model, using NLP to analyze 10,000+ interview responses, achieving 89% success prediction
[
1] found ChatGPT can simulate STAR responses at human-level quality for innovation management roles (Cohen’s
)
5.4. Related Assessment Frameworks
Alternative approaches with empirical support:
[
14] combine STAR with emotional intelligence metrics in project management contexts
[
27] integrate STAR with team coordination theory for high-reliability organizations

6. Advanced Cognitive and Behavioral Dynamics in Teams
6.1. AI and Teamwork
Teamwork is a cornerstone of organizational success, and AI has emerged as a critical enabler of high-performance teams [
31]. Recent studies highlight how AI tools facilitate communication, task allocation, and conflict resolution in diverse team settings [
32]. For example, generative AI like ChatGPT has been shown to enhance creativity and problem-solving among innovation managers [
1]. The concept of collective intelligence (CI) is further amplified by AI, enabling teams to leverage data-driven insights for better outcomes [
6]. However, the human element remains irreplaceable, as emotional intelligence (EI) and empathy are critical for effective teamwork [
33].
6.2. Cognitive Scaffolding and Antifragility
Cognitive scaffolding, derived from educational psychology, describes how AI and humans collaboratively enhance problem-solving [
19]. In team dynamics, this aligns with
antifragility—the capacity to thrive under stress. For instance, AI-powered
nowcasting models enable real-time data integration, helping teams adapt to volatility [
2]. Teams leveraging
joint mental model mapping exercises and
cross-training interventions exhibit higher resilience by aligning shared goals and skills [
7].
6.3. Behavioral Biases and Mitigation
Cognitive biases like
in-group/out-group bias and
confirmation bias disrupt teamwork. AI can mitigate these through
priming & affect heuristics, nudging teams toward objective decisions [
3]. Techniques such as
pre-mortem simulations preempt failure by diagnosing
behavioral friction early [
4]. Cultural dimensions (e.g.,
Hofstede’s framework) further inform bias mitigation strategies in global teams [
34].
6.4. Emotional and Social Dynamics
The
Pygmalion Effect and
Radical Candor underscore how feedback shapes performance. AI tools like sentiment analysis foster
empathic communication, critical in conflict resolution [
35].
Social Identity Theory explains team cohesion, while
superordinate goals resolve disagreements by aligning priorities [
33]. For example,
reflective listening and
neutral mediation techniques are enhanced by AI-driven dialogue analysis [
16].
6.5. Resilience and Learning
Grit and
coping flexibility are amplified through AI-enabled
meta-cognition tools, which track progress and suggest adaptive strategies [
9]. When mistakes occur,
vulnerability loops and
cognitive dissonance mitigation transform errors into learning opportunities [
18]. AI supports this via
narrative economics, analyzing communication patterns to predict and preempt distress [
5].
6.6. Applications in Behavioral Interviewing
Common behavioral questions (e.g., "Describe a time you overcame a challenge") map to these constructs:
Teamwork: Assessed via
collaborative leadership and
cross-functional alignment metrics [
27].
Resilience: Evaluated using
goal gradient effect and
proactive inhibition frameworks [
30].
Conflict Resolution: Scored against
perspective-taking and
synergistic solutions benchmarks [
36].
AI-driven platforms (e.g., HireVue) automate such analyses, linking responses to predictive performance models [
25].
