Following social cognitive theory, the current study investigated the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on employees' productivity in the healthcare sector. AI significantly facilitates the management of hospitals to vigilantly assess employees’ productivity and accurately analyze employees' characteristics, such as attitude, emotion and behavior. With the underlying mechanism of employee mental health and well‐being, and knowledge sharing, the study has considered beneficial and harmful perspectives of AI in the workplace. The study also hypothesizes the important moderating role of technological leadership. The data was collected from 184 doctors in Pakistan's major hospitals. Partial least squares (PLS) results support a direct relationship between AI and employee productivity. The findings also supported the underlying mechanism of knowledge sharing and mental health and well‐being in the relationship between AI and employee productivity. However, the technological leadership moderating effect was found to be insignificant. It opens an important avenue for this further research and future directions.
When experienced in-person, engagement with art has been associated—in a growing body of evidence—with positive outcomes in wellbeing and mental health. This represents an exciting new field for psychology, curation, and health interventions, suggesting a widely-accessible, cost-effective, and non-pharmaceutical means of regulating factors such as mood or anxiety. However, can similar impacts be found with online presentations? If so, this would open up positive outcomes to an even-wider population—a trend becoming accelerated due to the current Covid-19 pandemic. Despite its promise, this question, and the underlying mechanisms of art interventions and impacts, has largely not been explored. Participants (N = 84) were asked to engage one of two online exhibitions from Google Arts and Culture (a Monet painting or a similarly-formatted display of Japanese culinary traditions). With just 1-2 minutes’ exposure, both improved negative mood, state-anxiety, loneliness, and wellbeing. Stepdown analysis suggested the changes can be explained primarily via negative mood, while improvements in mood correlated with aesthetic appraisals and cognitive-emotional experience of the exhibition. However, no difference was found between exhibitions. We discuss the findings in terms of applications and targets for future research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
