The innovation paradox in human-AI symbiosis: ambidextrous effects of AI technology adoption on innovative behavior

Based on the aforementioned findings, this study highlights the importance of considering employees' psychological states and behavioral changes while fostering technological innovation, exposing the intricacy of artificial intelligence technology in HRM from both a subjective and objective standpoint. Job insecurity is a possible drawback of technology use, hence businesses should take appropriate steps to lessen employee uneasiness while using new technologies. Felt Obligation for Constructive Change, on the other hand, is a crucial strategy for encouraging creative behavior. To do this, managers must investigate and enhance employees' intrinsic motivation for their everyday tasks and foster a culture of creativity. Task crafting, as an effective self-management and driving factor, is also very important to reduce the negative effects of technology adoption and increase its positive effects. For this reason, businesses should support and encourage employees to improve their autonomy and flexibility, iterate on their work methods, and stimulate their ability to innovate. This will not only help employees develop their own skills but also give businesses a competitive edge and continuous innovation motivation.

Abstract

Based on the aforementioned findings, this study highlights the importance of considering employees' psychological states and behavioral changes while fostering technological innovation, exposing the intricacy of artificial intelligence technology in HRM from both a subjective and objective standpoint. Job insecurity is a possible drawback of technology use, hence businesses should take appropriate steps to lessen employee uneasiness while using new technologies. Felt Obligation for Constructive Change, on the other hand, is a crucial strategy for encouraging creative behavior. To do this, managers must investigate and enhance employees' intrinsic motivation for their everyday tasks and foster a culture of creativity. Task crafting, as an effective self-management and driving factor, is also very important to reduce the negative effects of technology adoption and increase its positive effects. For this reason, businesses should support and encourage employees to improve their autonomy and flexibility, iterate on their work methods, and stimulate their ability to innovate. This will not only help employees develop their own skills but also give businesses a competitive edge and continuous innovation motivation.
