Summary

This study examines what drives knowledge workers to intend to adopt ChatGPT at work. Drawing on technology affordance and constraints theory, focus groups, and a survey, the authors identify three affordances (automatability, information quality, and productivity) and two constraints (perceived risk and lack of regulation). The affordances raise perceived effectiveness, while lack of regulation increases discomfort. Personal innovativeness strengthens the link between effectiveness and adoption intention and weakens the effect of discomfort.
