Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing financial-services tasks faster than institutions can redesign jobs, skills, and accountability. Exposure estimates are often misread as forecasts of job loss, while productivity claims neglect leadership and job-quality conditions. This study combines a structured integrative review and directed qualitative content analysis of 18 authoritative institutional documents published from 2019 through 2025 with descriptive synthesis of public AI-exposure evidence. Eight organizational mechanisms were coded: strategic alignment, task redesign, employee participation, learning and skills, human oversight, workforce fairness and well-being, performance measurement, and social dialogue. Task redesign, learning and skills, and performance measurement each appeared in 89% of documents. Strategic alignment appeared in 72%, human oversight in 61%, and employee participation and workforce fairness in 50% each. Exposure evidence consistently indicates that augmentation and transformation are distinct from technological feasibility of automation; outcome data remain insufficient to infer net financial-sector employment effects. The proposed Human–AI Work Design Capability framework explains how leaders convert AI exposure into four pathways: task complementarity, accountable judgment, learning velocity, and distributive legitimacy. Sustainable performance requires redesigning bundles of tasks, protecting meaningful human authority, measuring quality and risk alongside speed, and sharing transition benefits. The paper provides testable propositions, a managerial scorecard, and a reproducible research agenda.
