Research: Gen AI Makes People More Productive-and Less Motivated
Briefly

Generative AI has significantly changed the workplace landscape by enabling professionals to accomplish tasks swiftly and with improved quality. Tasks ranging from writing reviews to developing marketing strategies are less time-consuming when aided by gen AI. However, research suggests a concerning downside: while immediate work efficiency increases, reliance on technology can lead to reduced intrinsic motivation and heightened boredom when employees engage in tasks without technological support. This dual impact poses important challenges for businesses aiming to leverage AI while maintaining their workforce's drive and engagement in diverse roles.
Generative AI has transformed how we work, enhancing efficiency in tasks like writing and brainstorming, yet it risks diminishing employees' intrinsic motivation.
The rise of generative AI improves immediate performance, but also leads to increased feelings of boredom when employees face tasks without technological help.
