Abstract
Aim. Substantiation of the concept of social hormesis, identification of mechanisms that can increase the resilience of human resources to environmental stress factors through moderate doses of negative impacts.
Methodology. This review summarizes the views of various scholars on the phenomenon of hormesis and the achievement of personnel antifragility. The author's presentation of the concept of social hormesis is visualized, and mechanisms for increasing human resource resilience to stress are modeled.
Results. A concept of social hormesis has been proposed to ensure personnel antifragility and improve the effectiveness of their management. Proposals have been generated for implementing hormesis principles into HR policies and corporate culture.
Research implications. The author's developments and conclusions have high theoretical and practical significance for the development of the theory of personnel management and the enrichment of the core competencies of enterprises, ensuring their stable progress.
