Summary
The research investigates how Generative AI affects software development operations in IT through its current mixed-methods study. The research investigates productivity and organizational efficiency impacts and adoption difficulties and business strategy changes and job security risks through survey data collected from expert interview participants.
Contribution
The research establishes first-hand evidence about IT professionals who use Generative AI and their workplace effects on work output and job security. The research demonstrates how operational efficiency improvements create conflicts between workplace productivity and staff worries about their employment security.
Relevance
The current subject matter holds great importance because Generative AI tools have started to appear in software development operations at a fast pace. The research combines organizational performance metrics with employee satisfaction data to create results which have both operational value and social impact.
Approach
The mixed-method design is appropriate for an exploratory study. The survey development process through expert interviews made the constructs more relevant but the researchers showed their results as their first findings.
Strengths
Empirical data on real-world Generative AI adoption
The report contains fundamental details about correlation data and it identifies critical adoption issues which require immediate attention.
The system discussion shows its positive aspects together with its possible negative points.
Limitations
The research depends on participant-reported information through an active survey which restricts its ability to represent the wider population. The research fails to establish cause-and-effect relationships because future studies with larger and more diverse participant groups will improve the current findings.
Overall assessment
The research study provides essential first results about Generative AI impacts which affect software development organizations together with their staff members. The research establishes vital information which will function as initial data for future sophisticated investigations.
