Artificial intelligence and sustainable performance: role of organisational agility and environmental dynamism

The paradigm for using current information technology has been greatly modified by the development of artificial intelligence (AI), which has also improved organisational agility (OA) and performance. However, a small number of research outcomes have concentrated on this phenomenon, and past research is vague about the link between AI and sustainable performance. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to examine the impact of AI on sustainable performance through OA based on data collected from China. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to assess the data; a total of 325 entries were used in this study. Findings suggest that AI has a significant influence on OA. Organisational agility also has a significant impact on sustainable performance. OA mediates the link between AI and sustainable performance. Furthermore, environmental dynamism significantly moderates the link between OA and financial performance, whereas environmental dynamism has shown an insignificant association between OA, environmental performance and social performance. This investigation provides new insight into realising the role of AI in practice and theory.
