Authors: Kagan CAVUSOGLU

ABSTRACT

The rapid development of AI technologies has been a transformative factor for organizational leadership. This study discusses the effects of AI on organizational leadership from a theoretical perspective through a literature review. This paper analyzes the impacts of AI on organizational leadership from different points of view. The results showed that AI is important in providing more realistic and data-driven solutions by accelerating the reliability of decision-making processes. Big data analytics and AI algorithms develop the strategic decision-making skills of leaders more effectively and on time. AI further builds up the emotional intelligence of leaders by making them more capable of communicating with their subordinates. Hereby, employee motivation increases and cooperation across organizations grows stronger. It is observed that leaders using AI-supported tools understand the needs of their employees better and develop more adapting solutions for them. However, this study also emphasizes AI’s ethical and social challenges in leadership. It is stated that the automation processes generated by AI can redefine job descriptions and raise concerns about job security and privacy among employees. In this respect, leaders are encouraged to take these worries into account and ensure a justified transition process in the process of integrating AI technologies within organizations. AI, though presenting a variety of opportunities for organizational leadership, also presents some challenges that require being addressed with a corresponding gravity. AI is an instrument for enhancing the efficiency of organizations, which cannot function without supporting innovation. Meanwhile, leaders should also pursue a balanced approach regarding ethics and social responsibility.
