Artificial intelligence development and the stimulation of employee creativity: A moderating analysis based on executives’ financial backgrounds
Based on panel data of non-financial listed companies in China from 2008 to 2023, this paper employs a fixed effects model to analyze the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) development and employee creativity. The study finds that AI development significantly stimulates employee creativity, and this conclusion remains robust after changing variable measurement approaches and adding regional fixed effects in robustness checks. Moderation effect analysis reveals that executives’ financial backgrounds significantly moderate the relationship between AI development and employee creativity. Heterogeneity analysis indicates that the moderating effect of executives’ financial backgrounds on the relationship between AI development and employee creativity differs significantly between high-tech and non-high-tech enterprises. The impact of AI development on employee creativity also shows significant differences between high-tech and non-high-tech companies.
