ABSTRACT Companies are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to provide employees with performance feedback, but its efficacy is inconsistent. Drawing upon the theories of mind perception and feedback intervention, we examine the effects of anthropomorphic AI feedback source and feedback valence in conveying performance feedback on employees' advice‐taking behaviours. We conducted a 2 × 2 experiment in which we manipulated anthropomorphic AI feedback source (more versus less) and examined how feedback…

The gain

In a 2×2 experiment using skin-conductance sensors during a production task, employees who got positive feedback from a more human-like AI showed higher emotional arousal and took more advice afterward than those who got it from a less human-like AI.

What this doesn’t fix

The human-like AI advantage appeared only for positive feedback; under negative feedback, arousal and advice-taking did not differ between the AI types.

How to check it yourself, without trusting this page

Download any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-2696 and hash its canonical field yourself, for example with shasum -a 256. You should get its content_hash. Each version’s text also ends with prev:and the hash of the version before it (version 1 points to 64 zeros). If anyone had changed a single character of any version after it was saved, those hashes wouldn’t line up.
