This study investigates the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on organizational performance, comparing public and private enterprises. The research aims to assess how AI adoption influences key performance indicators such as operational efficiency, decision-making, innovation, employee productivity, and customer satisfaction. Using a descriptive and comparative research design, data were collected from 120 respondents 60 from public enterprises and 60 from private enterprises through structured questionnaires. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including correlation and regression, were employed to evaluate relationships between AI adoption and performance outcomes.
The findings reveal that private enterprises demonstrate a significantly higher AI adoption rate (65%) compared to public enterprises (30%). Mean performance scores indicate that private enterprises (4.4) outperform public enterprises (3.5) across all performance dimensions. Correlation analysis shows a strong positive relationship between AI adoption and organizational performance in both sectors (r = 0.81 for private enterprises; r = 0.62 for public enterprises). Regression results further confirm that AI adoption explains 65% of performance variations in private enterprises and 48% in public enterprises.
The study concludes that AI serves as a strategic catalyst for enhancing efficiency, innovation, and decision-making, with private enterprises reaping greater benefits due to their flexible structures and innovation-oriented management culture. It recommends increased investment in digital infrastructure, employee training, and supportive policy frameworks to strengthen AI readiness, particularly in public enterprises.
