Reflection or Dependence: How AI Awareness Affects Employees' In-Role and Extra-Role Performance?
Article in Behavioral sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
To address the challenges posed by AI technologies, an increasing number of organizations encourage or require employees to integrate AI into their work processes. Despite the extensive research that has explored AI applications in the workplace, limited attention has been paid to the role of AI awareness in shaping employees' cognition, interaction behaviors with AI, and subsequent impacts. Drawing on self-construal theory, this study investigates how AI awareness influences employees' in-role and extra-role performance. A multi-time-point analysis of data from 353 questionnaires reveals that employees' AI awareness affects their perceived overqualification, which subsequently influences reflection on AI usage and dependence on AI usage, ultimately shaping their in-role and extra-role performance. Furthermore, employee-AI collaboration moderates the relationship between AI awareness and perceived overqualification. This study elucidates the mechanisms and boundary conditions through which AI awareness impacts employees' performance, offering a more comprehensive perspective on AI awareness research and providing practical implications for promoting its positive effects while mitigating its negative consequences.
