Factors Influencing Generative AI Adoption in Government: A Case Study in BPS-Statistics of Indonesia
Downloads
Rapid technological developments hold great potential, one of which is generative AI. Technology that is easily accessible and user-friendly tends to spread quickly, and BPS-Statistics of Indonesia is no exception. The challenges currently faced by BPS-Statistics of Indonesia, such as rapid data growth, high data demand, and data analysis and representation, encourage the institution to be adaptive to new technologies that can accelerate work processes. This research aims to determine the factors influencing the acceptance and use of generative AI (GenAI), such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and others, among BPS-Statistics of Indonesia employees, using Behavioral Intention as the central mediating variable that bridges the influence of these predictor factors on Use Behavior. The model also examines the relationships between external factors, such as Social Influence and Trust, and Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of Use, as well as their effects on Attitude. Additionally, it evaluates the influence of Hedonic Motivation, Facilitating Conditions, Perceived Severity, and Perceived Vulnerability on Behavioral Intention. Based on a survey of 166 respondents at BPS-Statistics of Indonesia, the results reveal that Attitude has a significant influence on Behavioral Intention, while Perceived Severity has a significant negative influence on Behavioral Intention. Furthermore, Behavioral Intention is also shown to have a significant positive influence on Use Behavior. These findings contribute theoretically to the development of technology adoption models in the public sector and have practical implications for BPS-Statistics of Indonesia in formulating AI usage policies.
