How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Readiness Influences Academic Staff Retention: A Case from Higher Education (HE) in Egypt

This research aims to investigate the influences of AI readiness on academic staff retention in the Egyptian HE context. A quantitative methodology was adopted. The sample consisted of 144 academic staff. They were asked to provide responses towards AI readiness in terms of cognition, ability, vision, and ethics; AI-enhanced innovation; perceived threats from AI; job satisfaction; and academic staff retention. The research outputs provide a clear understanding of HE insights regarding academic staff AI readiness in Egypt. Six hypotheses were investigated by employing correlation, simple and multi-regression, ending with supporting evidence for five out of the six research hypotheses. Accordingly, based on the outcomes, the current research conclusion, recommendation, and limitations were provided, offering the chief directions for future studies as well.
