Abstract

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the world of work, leaving individuals wondering what AI means for the future of their career. The current research investigates the moderating role of future work self salience (FWSS) on the effect of interacting with AI on perceived control over one's future work self and proactive career behavior. In a first longitudinal experiment with full-time employees in the UK (N = 174), participants interacting with AI to solve a task (compared to a control group) experienced increased perceived control over their future work self when FWSS was high, in contrast to those with low FWSS. We replicated this pattern in a second longitudinal study with German business students (N = 208). Building on these findings, a third longitudinal experiment with German full-time employees (N = 155) extended the model by demonstrating a moderated mediation: for individuals with high FWSS, AI interaction increased perceived control over the future work self and thus promoted proactive career behavior. In contrast, perceived control and proactive career behavior decreased for those with low FWSS. This research demonstrates the potential impact of AI interactions on work-related outcomes, offering critical insights for both theory and practice.

未来工作的自我显著性如何影响与人工智能互动的效果

人工智能（AI）的迅速崛起正在改变工作世界，让人们不禁要问，人工智能对他们未来的职业生涯意味着什么。目前的研究调查了未来工作自我显著性（FWSS）对与人工智能互动对未来工作自我感知控制和主动职业行为影响的调节作用。在第一项以英国全职雇员（N = 174）为对象的纵向实验中，与人工智能互动解决任务的参与者（与对照组相比）在FWSS较高的情况下，对未来工作自我的感知控制能力会增强，与FWSS较低的情况形成鲜明对比。我们在第二项纵向研究中复制了这一模式，研究对象是德国商科学生（N = 208）。在这些研究结果的基础上，我们对德国全职雇员（人数= 155）进行了第三次纵向实验，通过证明调节中介作用扩展了这一模型：对于全职工作自我满意度高的人来说，人工智能互动增强了他们对未来工作自我的感知控制力，从而促进了积极主动的职业行为。相反，对于 FWSS 值低的人来说，感知到的控制力和积极主动的职业行为都有所下降。这项研究证明了人工智能互动对工作相关结果的潜在影响，为理论和实践提供了重要启示。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
