Hidden AI innovations in the public sector: the role of political constraints, bureaucracy, and legitimacy in the adoption of AI-based personnel selection
研究了韩国公共组织中影响AI人员选拔采纳的因素，发现组织倾向于在外部可见性低且与现有程序一致时采纳，同时具备内部合法性和公众支持能力的组织更开放。
AI innovations in public administration show promise, but they also come with significant risks. In this context, we explore factors that influence the adoption of AI-based personnel selection in public organizations. Employing mixed methods, including interviews with key stakeholders (n = 16) and primary surveys of HR professionals (n = 178) in Korean public organizations, we find that organizations tend to adopt AI innovations when they are less visible to external stakeholders and align with existing hiring procedures. Additionally, those with internal capabilities to secure legitimacy and public support are more open to adopting AI innovations.
