Implementering av Artificiell Intelligens på Arbetsplatsen : En Kvalitativ Studie om Medarbetarnas Upplevelser vid Implementering av Artificiell Intelligens
No full textTitel: Artificiell Intelligens på Arbetsplatsen - En kvalitativ studie om medarbetares upplevelser vid implementering av Artificiell Intelligens. Nivå: Examensarbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i företagsekonomi. Författare: Rohullah Raul Hosseini och Luwam Grmatzien Handledare: Svante Brunåker Datum: 2024-Januari Syfte: Syftet denna studie är att fördjupa förståelsen av medarbetarnas upplevelser i samband med implementeringen av Artificiell Intelligens (AI) i deras organisationer. Metod: Studien grundar sig på en deduktiv strategi inom ramen för en kvalitativ metodik. Primärdata har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultat och slutsats: Ålder och karriärstadie påverkar acceptansen och implementeringen av AI, med äldre och etablerade medarbetare som visar större motstånd och mindre benägenhet att experimentera. Ledarskapets roll, anpassade kommunikationsstrategier och reglering av AI framstår som avgörande för att övervinna motstånd och skapa en positiv förändringskultur. Examensarbetets bidrag: Studien bidrar till en fördjupad förståelse kring förändringsarbetekommunikation och motstånd utifrån medarbetares upplevelse vid implementering av AI i organisationer. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: En kvantitativ studie med fokus på korrelation mellan medarbetarnas produktivitet och AI användning föreslås. Title: Artificial Intelligence at the Workplace - A Qualitative Study on Employees' Experiences in the Implementation of Artificial Intelligence. Level: Bachelor’s degree in business administration Author: Rohullah Raul Hosseini and Luwam Grmatzien Supervisor: Svante Brunåker Date: 2024- January Aim: The purpose of this study is to deepen the understanding of employees’ experiences related to the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in their organizations. Method: The study is based on a deductive strategy within the framework of a qualitative methodology. Primary data has been collected through semi-structured interviews. Results and conclusions: Age and career stage influence the acceptance and implementation of AI, with older and established employees showing greater resistance and less willingness to experiment. The role of leadership adapted communication strategies and regulation of AI appear to be crucial in overcoming resistance and creating a positive culture of change. Contribution of the thesis: The study contributes to a deeper understanding of change work communication and resistance based on employees’ experience when implementing AI in organizations. Suggestions for future research: A quantitative study focusing on correlation between employee productivity and AI use

The Significance of Scientific Research in Higher Education Institutions of Afghanistan: Challenges, Solutions, and Strategies for Enhancement (2022-2024)
No full textScientific research is a fundamental pillar of higher education institutions (HEIs), driving knowledge production, innovation, and national development. This study explores the significance of scientific research within Afghanistan’s HEIs, identifies key challenges that impede its development, and proposes strategies to enhance it. Employing a qualitative, descriptive-analytical design, the research uses content analysis of data gathered through semi-structured interviews and a comprehensive literature review. A total of 30 participants were selected based on expertise, experience, and academic background, in line with the principle of theoretical saturation. The findings highlight the crucial role of scientific research in improving education quality, fostering researcher expertise, generating new knowledge, and strengthening academic recognition in Afghanistan. However, significant barriers hinder progress, including insufficient funding, outdated infrastructure, limited research tools, limited global collaboration, bureaucratic inefficiencies, a shortage of qualified researchers, and the commercialization of private universities. To address these obstacles, the study recommends comprehensive policy reforms such as capacity-building programs, improved access to up-to-date academic resources, the establishment of institutional research committees and peer-reviewed journals, enhanced financial support, and a strategic cultural shift to prioritize research within HEIs
Evolution and Technological Process (A Review of Methodological Approaches and the Creative Evolution in Historiographic Thought of Vere Gordon Childe)
No full textVere Gordon Childe, an Australian archaeologist and historian, was one of most spectacular figures in archaeology and history in the first half of the 20th century. He took a methodologically synthetic approach to offer particular issues which are still given attention by pre-historians and historians. In this respect, his influential book History, targeting a survey of current theories on the history and historiography, was so given attention by academics in Iran that has been translated and published for several times. In this paper, it is attempted to review the Persian version of the book and that the methodological synthetic approach taken by its author about the historical order and the variables of such interpretation on the history
People are the Heart of Statecraft: A Case Study of Affective Responses to the US-Afghanistan Relationship
No full textThis thesis considers what were the dominant narratives that existed among US foreign policy professionals in the US-Afghanistan foreign policy space between October 1, 2019, and January 12, 2022. The results are based on primary research conducted using autoethnographic tools, performing participatory observation on 120 in-person and virtual events, as well as participatory observation of social media activities in real-time, conducted over a period of 28 months. In addition, the author reviewed and analyzed secondary academic, social, and journalistic materials. Through analysis of field notes, the author found the dominant narratives that existed among US foreign policy professionals in the US-Afghanistan foreign policy space between October 1, 2019, and January 12, 2022, as observed through affective responses from foreign policy professionals, included narratives about credibility, obligations, loyalty, hero-villain, brotherhood, and commitments. Those foreign policy professionals who were observed felt the US government needed to continue military involvement in Afghanistan. Continued military involvement was promoted to justify to themselves that past actions, commitments, losses, and challenges were worth the cost. US foreign policy decision-makers and members of the Afghan diaspora who had risen to US foreign policy and Afghanistan foreign policy decision-making roles, had developed affective ties toward the work that was being done in Afghanistan. The results demonstrate the intricate and multifaceted nature of the Washington Blob, groupthink, homophily, psychological safety, and dissent within the context of US foreign policy and, specifically, US-Afghanistan relations. The interconnectedness of influential figures in the Washington Blob can both facilitate constructive dialogue and foster environments of psychological safety while also sometimes perpetuating groupthink and homophily. The results illustrate that the double-edged nature of the Blob phenomenon is an ongoing challenge within policy-making circles. The Blob must recognize the importance of fostering spaces that encourage open discussion and diverse perspectives while being vigilant against the pitfalls of groupthink and insularity. This delicate balance is crucial for informed decision-making and ensuring that the United States’ foreign policy is guided by a comprehensive understanding of the complex issues it faces

The cultural history of the Islamic world, due to its vastness and diversity, has not yet been seriously considered and all the writings that have allegedly arisen due to the lack of definite definitions and frameworks have addressed only some aspects of this issue and have failed to understand its generality. This article examines the form and content of the book of the cultural history of the Islamic world written by Boroumand Azamipour with a descriptive and analytical method. As a result, the author of the work relies on the common approach in writing such works and adopting a common view of the history of Islamic sciences and civilization due to the lack of a clear definition of the concept of cultural history. Therefore, the cultural history of the Islamic world has been reduced to the history of science and education
