With the development of AI technology, the employment mode of companies is undergoing unprecedented changes. The paper defines the composition of blended human resources of a company as three types of formal employees, flexible workers and intelligent machine workers, constructs a blended human resource contribution rate calculation method based on BP-MIV, and analyzes the data of automobile manufacturing companies in 2022. The results show that the contribution rate of blended human resources to company performance is 73.81%. Among them, the contribution rate of formal employees is 19.55%, while flexible workers and intelligent machine workers, despite their significantly smaller proportion in number compared to formal employees, have contribution rates of 20.26% and 34.00%, respectively. In further discussions, the calculation results of the blended human resource contribution rate based on the production function method were compared with those based on the BP-MIV method. The findings indicate that the BP-MIV-based calculation method exhibits certain advantages in capturing nonlinear relationships, such as the synergistic effects of various types of blended human resources on company performance. This study attempts to propose a preliminary theoretical framework and methodological approach for blended human resource management research in the AI era.
