| Abstract: | As Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming widely adapted across organisations in different industries, its effects on well-being remain unknown while it continues to grow. This thesis aimed to explore the influence of AI on professionals’ identity and job flourishing. Through a qualitative study and semi-structured interviews with professionals from different sectors this study used a thematic analysis, and two core dimensions emerged: Professionals perception of AI and Preserving job flourishing in an AI implemented workplace. Findings indicate that professionals have three views towards AI, positive, negative and neutral. Professionals expressed worries of over-reliance and cognitive concerns. While simultaneously acknowledging how beneficial AI can be. They expressed that their professional identity which is closely linked to their values is at risk. However, they believe that if the AI implemented aligns with their professional values, they are likely to experience reinforced identities. Furthermore, they indicated the importance of AI literacy, training and up-skilling as important factors of preserving their job flourishing and thriving. This study contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the importance of considering the internal experiences when implementing AI and possible areas of concern. It suggests practical insights for organisations, managers and HR professional in developing strategies and implementing AI cultures that support the job flourishing of professionals in light of the AI era. |
