| Description: |
Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI), has profoundly transformed the professional landscape. These technologies present new opportunities to enhance productivity, potentially offsetting the societal risks they pose. This study aims to assess whether GAI contributes to satisfaction at work and whether some of this improvement can be explained by productivity gains, human flourishing and reduced frustration when using GAI. To explore this, we employed the CHAID (Chi-square Automatic Interaction Detection) method and ANOVA analyses to investigate the use of GitHub Copilot by software developers. Our findings show that using GitHub Copilot boosted developers' productivity, their sense of flourishing at work, reduced their frustration and increased their satisfaction. |
