The subject of this study is the decision-making processes in modern hybrid management systems based on holacracy and incorporating virtual roles implemented through artificial intelligence (AI).
The aim of the research is to develop a decision-making algorithm for a hybrid holacratic structure that integrates human and virtual roles, taking into account the principles of autonomy, transparency, and evolutionary governance.
The methodological foundation combines systemic, structural-functional, and comparative approaches, which made it possible to comprehensively analyze decision-making processes in hybrid management systems built on holacratic principles and integrated with AI-driven virtual roles.
As a result of the study, a decision-making algorithm was developed for a holacratic structure that considers the hybrid composition of participants and ensures coordinated interaction between human and virtual roles. The proposed algorithm is based on a modular model of AI participation in the management cycle, which provides for a clear distribution of responsibilities, defined delegation logic, cyclical updating of decisions, and mechanisms for verifying the effectiveness of interaction. To integrate virtual roles, a model was designed comprising analytical, facilitation, monitoring and oversight, documentation, and evolutionary modules. Each stage of the decision-making algorithm corresponds to a specific module with designated types of virtual agents, ensuring not only functional task distribution but also compliance with the principles of autonomy, transparency, and adaptability. The formalization of virtual role functions establishes a foundation for further automation of management processes and the development of relevant digital tools. The practical significance of the results lies in their potential application by digital organizations, startups, and IT companies that implement decentralized or self-managed management models.
The conclusions of the study confirm the feasibility of integrating virtual agents into holacratic structures, provided that there is a clear role model, transparent interaction algorithms, and ethical constraints on autonomous AI. The results obtained constitute a basis for the creation of next-generation tools for the automation of management processes.
