The Impact of Socio-Economic Environment on Artificial Intelligence and Technology Adoption: Mediation Moderation of Employee Team Collaboration and Technological Innovation

Abstract

The goal of this study is to determine how the socioeconomic environment affects the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and technology in Chinese IT organizations while taking into account the mediating effects of employee teamwork and technological innovation. There are 350 employees from different Chinese IT organizations are surveyed online as part of the research's cross-sectional methodology. The study proposes that the adoption of AI and technology is greatly influenced by the socioeconomic situation. It also suggests that the relationship between the socioeconomic environment and the adoption of AI and technology is mediated through employee team collaboration. The relationship between employee team collaboration, AI adoption, and technological innovation is also anticipated to be moderated by technological innovation. The researchers use SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) to analyse the data. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, mediation analysis, and moderation analysis are some of the statistical approaches used. The findings will offer useful information about how the socioeconomic setting, employee teamwork, and technological advancement affect the adoption of AI and technology across Chinese IT organizations. By presenting actual data on the interactions between the socioeconomic environment, employee collaboration, technological innovation, and the adoption of AI and technology, this study adds to the body of existing work. Organizations will be able to better integrate AI by using the findings to better understand the factors driving technology adoption. The study can help policymakers by providing them with information on the socioeconomic aspects that encourage the use of AI and technology in the IT industry.
