Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Transformational leadership boosts employee AI usage, with perceived organizational support playing a key mediating role. However, a competitive workplace climate weakens this support, impacting AI adoption.
Area Of Science
- Organizational Behavior
- Artificial Intelligence Adoption
- Management Science
Background
- Employee artificial intelligence usage (AI-U) is critical for organizational transformation.
- Factors influencing AI-U, particularly leadership and context, require further investigation.
Purpose Of The Study
- To examine the influence of transformational leadership (TL) on employee AI-U.
- To investigate the mediating role of perceived organizational support (POS) and the moderating effect of competitive workplace climate (CWC) in the TL-AI-U relationship.
Main Methods
- Social cognitive theory framework.
- Online survey of 525 employees in China.
- Hierarchical regression analysis and bootstrap methods.
Main Results
- Transformational leadership (TL) positively predicts employee AI-U.
- Perceived organizational support (POS) partially mediates the relationship between TL and AI-U.
- Competitive workplace climate (CWC) moderates the indirect effect, weakening POS mediation.
Conclusions
- Findings enhance understanding of AI adoption through a social cognitive lens.
- Practical implications for creating supportive environments to encourage AI application.

The halo effect is a cognitive bias in which an individual's overall impression influences judgments about their specific traits. This psychological phenomenon leads people to associate positive characteristics with those they perceive as generally good and negative characteristics with those they view as bad. This effect is particularly influential in social perception, professional evaluations, and decision-making processes.The Psychological Basis of the Halo EffectThe halo effect is rooted...
In social psychology, the interplay between individuals and groups is a central concern, particularly regarding how individual actions and characteristics influence group processes and outcomes. While much research emphasizes the group's power in shaping individual behavior, it is equally significant to understand how individuals contribute to the functioning, development, and success of groups.Individual Roles in Group Productivity and Decision-MakingIndividuals are not passive participants in...
Role-based identities are central to understanding how individuals navigate social environments by adopting distinct self-conceptions aligned with various societal roles. These identities are not fixed traits but are constructed through personal actions and the social feedback individuals receive in context-specific interactions. Each social role, such as student, teacher, or friend, carries a set of expectations and norms that influence how people think, feel, and behave within that...
Strategic self-presentation refers to individuals' intentional efforts to influence how others perceive them. This process is employed in various social and professional settings, such as job interviews, dating, politics, and legal contexts, where individuals seek to shape impressions to gain social or material advantages. While people generally present themselves in ways that align with their authentic characteristics, external factors, such as cognitive load, can hinder their ability to...
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...
