The work affective well-being under the impact of AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology is expected to help enterprises reduce costs and improve efficiency, but it may also threaten the employment of employees. It may form a substitution effect on employees’ jobs and might make them experience negative work emotions. Employees’ work emotions could then affect their innovative abilities, which in turn impacts the innovation ability and competitiveness of enterprises. Therefore, the impact of applying artificial intelligence technology on employees’ work well-being has become a pressing issue for businesses today. Through empirical analysis of 349 questionnaire responses, we found that employees’ STARA awareness negatively predicts their work affective well-being. Job stress mediates the relationship between STARA awareness and employees’ work affective well-being. Psychological resilience moderates the relationship between STARA awareness and job stress, moderates the indirect effect of STARA awareness on employees’ work affective well-being through job stress. Theoretical discussions and analyses of the mechanism through which STARA awareness affects employees’ work affective well-being were conducted based on the Conservation of Resources theory. In practice, we provide valuable insights for employees and enterprises to address the impact of AI, enhance work affective well-being, and strengthen enterprises’ innovation and competitiveness.

Donating or collecting? Differential impact mechanisms of knowledge sharing through enterprise social media on employees' innovative work behavior

PurposeIn the digital age, enterprise social media (ESM) has been broadly used to break the barrier of space and time for knowledge sharing involving two activities—knowledge donating and knowledge collecting. Yet, hardly any study has thus far explored how and when knowledge donating and knowledge collecting through ESM impact employees’ innovative work behavior (IWB). Therefore, drawing on the social exchange theory, this study aims to introduce relational social capital as a mediator and performance climate as a moderator to examine differential impact mechanisms of knowledge donating and knowledge collecting through ESM on employee IWB.Design/methodology/approachFirst, we collected 225 survey data from employees who used ESM at work. Then, according to the two-stage procedure of the partial least square structural equation modeling method, we established and analyzed a moderated mediation model based on the context of ESM.FindingsResults demonstrate that knowledge donating through ESM has a positive relationship with IWB, but knowledge collecting through ESM has no such relationship. Through the mediation of relational social capital, both knowledge donating and knowledge collecting through ESM have indirect positive relationships with IWB, but knowledge collecting through ESM has a greater one. Moreover, when employees perceived a relatively high-performance climate, the positive relationships of knowledge donating and knowledge collecting through ESM with IWB via relational social capital would be stronger.Practical implicationsOn the one hand, organizational managers should not only focus on different innovation benefits caused by knowledge donating and knowledge collecting through ESM but also should realize differences in the direct/indirect effect of knowledge donating and knowledge collecting through ESM on IWB. On the other hand, employees need to proactively enhance their innovative ability by considering knowledge donating/collecting channels (e.g. ESM), gaining successful competitiveness. Moreover, both managers and employees should realize that different innovation benefits of knowledge sharing activities through ESM can be further strengthened when establishing a high-performance climate.Originality/valueDifferent from prior literature on knowledge sharing or ESM, this study contributes to analyzing the differential effects of two dimensions (i.e. knowledge donating and knowledge collecting) of knowledge sharing on employees' IWB in the context of ESM.
