| Construct | Code | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Performance Expectancy | PE | Belief that AI will help achieve job performance gains |
| Effort Expectancy | EE | Perceived ease of use of AI systems |
| Social Influence | SI | Degree to which colleagues/leadership encourage adoption |
| Facilitating Conditions | FC | Availability of organizational resources and training |
| Hedonic Motivation | HM | Enjoyment and curiosity when exploring AI capabilities |
| Price Value | PV | Perceived benefit relative to effort invested (β=.505 — strongest predictor) |
| Habit | HB | Extent to which AI use has become automatic and routine |
| Trust in AI | TR | Confidence in AI reliability, accuracy, and data handling |
| Predictor | β | p | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price Value (PV) | .505 | <.001 | ✅ STRONGEST |
| Hedonic Motivation (HM) | .217 | .014 | ✅ Significant |
| Social Influence (SI) | .136 | .024 | ✅ Significant |
| Trust in AI (TR) | .106 | .064 | ⚠️ Marginal |
| Performance Expectancy (PE) | -.028 | .791 | ❌ Not significant |
| Effort Expectancy (EE) | -.008 | .875 | ❌ Not significant |
| Facilitating Conditions (FC) | .059 | .338 | ❌ Not significant |
| Habit (HB) | .023 | .631 | ❌ Not significant |
Insight: Traditional UTAUT2 predictors (PE, EE, FC, HB) do NOT predict AI adoption. Value perception, enjoyment, and social influence matter.
# AIRS Score = sum of 8 construct means (range: 8-40)
AIRS = PE + EE + SI + FC + HM + PV + HB + TR
# Typology (94.5% accuracy)
if AIRS <= 20: "AI Skeptic" # 17% of sample
elif AIRS <= 30: "Moderate User" # 67% of sample
