Employees’ Acceptance of AI Integrated CRM System: Development of a Conceptual Model

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) integrated Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems can maximize firms’ value by identifying and retaining best customers. The success of such advanced technologies depends on employee’s adoption. However, research on examining employee’s acceptance of AI integrated CRM systems is scarce. Therefore, this study has taken an attempt to propose conceptual model to predict the use-behaviour of employees to use AI integrated CRM system in organizations. This study adapted meta-UTAUT model as theoretical lens and extended the model with constructs such as compatibility, CRM quality, and CRM satisfaction specific to the organizational context. Future researchers can empirically test the proposed model with data gathered from employees using AI integrated CRM system.
