Tech workers are employees, not necessarily information technology (IT) professionals, who work in both worlds and seamlessly harness accessible resources in the worlds to meet organizational goals. This category of employees has unique job experiences and is more complicated to manage than the traditional workforce. Job satisfaction—a measurable outcome of employee wellbeing—remains a crucial indicator of an employee’s job experience. This psychological health of employees is usually measured using a job satisfaction scale. However, existing job satisfaction scales for tech workers lack specificity of measurement or cultural inclusivity. This study is, therefore, aimed at developing and validating a job satisfaction scale for tech workers in the global context. The systematic and scoping literature review methods were adopted for initial factors and item extraction. Two separate online surveys were conducted across the globe to randomly solicit tech workers’ acceptance rating of extracted factors and, after the factor selection, the rating of extracted associated items. The accepted numbers of respondents’ responses were 261 and 223, respectively. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22 was used for data adequacy analysis, factor analysis, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient test. A seven-factor model with 25 items was realized. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using the Analysis of Moment Structure software has been performed on the seven-factor model. The model was further analyzed for organizational effectiveness. A notable finding was that successful validation is not enough to ship psychometric scales to the market—a sound social effectiveness analysis outcome is required. A practical seven-factor job satisfaction scale for tech workers has been developed and validated for the tech industry.</p>","PeriodicalId":36408,"journal":{"name":"Human Behavior and Emerging Technologies","volume":"2024 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2024-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1155/2024/8873743","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142404560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing from established UIS and IQ theory, we crafted a model centered around seven essential factors that influence the effective use of ChatGPT, aiming to guide educators and learners in overcoming common challenges such as plagiarism and ensuring the ethical use of AI. Data was collected from Indonesian university participants (<i>N</i> = 508) and analyzed using structural equation modeling with Smart-PLS 4.0. The results reveal that completeness, precision, timeliness, convenience, and information format are the most influential factors driving user satisfaction with ChatGPT. Interestingly, our research indicated that the accuracy and reliability of the information, typically deemed paramount, were not the primary concerns in the academic use of ChatGPT. Our findings recommend a cautious approach to integrating ChatGPT in higher education. We advocate for strategic use that recognizes its innovative potential while acknowledging its limitations, ensuring responsible and effective application in educational contexts.

The current study is aimed at uncovering the user experience of smart artifacts with a focus on cognitive and emotional aspects to better understand what users expect when an artifact is identified as “smart.” Therefore, an online research study is conducted to gain insight into the user experience of smart artifacts from content-rich reviews on e-commerce websites. Robot vacuum cleaners, smartwatches, and smart speakers were chosen as exemplary smart artifacts of the study. Because they offer different types of interaction with distinct aspects, our findings indicate that smartness is associated with trust in expertise, emotional engagement, exaggerated evaluation, and intriguing existence concepts about Emotional UX. In Cognitive UX, smartness relates to reducing mental workload, gratifying experience, perceived phenotype, reciprocal acquaintance, trust-building experience, tailored situatedness, shaping sociality, physical competency, and dual enhancement concepts.

The present paper presents the development of the Belief in Human Nature Uniqueness Scale (BHNUS) to assess the individual tendency to deny social robots the possibility to have human features considered to be the hallmarks of humanness. The validation of the BHNUS was completed along seven studies, with a total of 1044 Portuguese participants. Results showed that BHNUS had good structural qualities (Studies 1 and 2), as well as good convergent and discriminant validities. BHNUS was correlated with negative attitudes towards robots, religiosity, and interest for science fiction (Study 3), attribution of traits of warmth to robots (Study 4), positive and negative emotional appraisal (Study 5), perspective taking (Study 6), and attitudes towards the development of robots with human features (Study 7).

A structured questionnaire based on a five-point Likert scale with organization as a unit of analysis was used to collect data. The research’s measurement and structural models were derived from data analysis conducted using Smart PLS. Overall, the research revealed that environmental and social innovations have significant impacts on business performance through cost leadership strategies and value creation in both SMEs and large manufacturing companies. However, a direct relationship was not established between social innovation and value creation in the case of SMEs, but it was significant for large companies. Environmental innovation was found to have direct relationships with cost leadership and value creation in both SMEs and large manufacturing companies. This research shows managers and policymakers how companies of any size can balance cost leadership with environmental and social concerns to maximize resources and efficiency. It encourages sustainable practices that benefit society and the environment while boosting performance and guiding strategic decision-making.

Do humans really treat these agents as social beings? To test this, we conducted a 2 between (Cyberball condition: exclusion vs. fair play) × 2 within (coplayer type: AGENT vs. HUMAN) online experiment employing the Cyberball paradigm; we investigated how participants (<i>N</i> = 244) responded when they observed an AI virtual agent being ostracised or treated fairly by another human in Cyberball, and we compared our results with those from human–human Cyberball research. We found that participants mindlessly applied the social norm of inclusion, compensating the ostracised agent by tossing the ball to them more frequently, just as people would to an ostracised human. This finding suggests that individuals tend to mindlessly treat AI virtual agents as social beings, supporting the media equation theory; however, age (no other user characteristics) influenced this tendency, with younger participants less likely to mindlessly apply the inclusion norm. We also found that participants showed increased sympathy towards the ostracised agent, but they did not devalue the human player for their ostracising behaviour; this indicates that participants did not mindfully perceive AI virtual agents as comparable to humans. Furthermore, we uncovered two other exploratory findings: the association between frequency of agent usage and sympathy, and the carryover effect of positive usage experience.
