摘要:

类人智能机器人(Humanoid Intelligent Robots, HIR)不仅带给人类情感体验, 而且正在重塑人机关系信任。本文试图从独特代理假说视角探究组织关系情境中的新型人机关系信任的形成与影响。1个定性访谈研究和3个定量研究发现, 组织关系情境中的新型人机关系信任可以分为HIR情感修缮信任和HIR功能辅助信任两个维度。自我修缮和友情修缮两种人机协作类型更能显著激发HIR情感修缮信任; 智力辅助和体力辅助两种人机协作类型更能显著激发HIR功能辅助信任。相比HIR功能辅助信任, HIR情感修缮信任更有利于提升组织温暖感知, 进而更有效促进员工工作贡献意愿; 反之, 相比HIR情感修缮信任, HIR功能辅助信任更有利于提升组织能力感知, 进而更有效促进员工工作贡献意愿。最后, 将HIR代理需求导向作为情境变量引入研究, 验证了其在人机关系信任与组织温暖−能力感知之间的调节作用。

Abstract:

As humanoid intelligent robots (HIRs) become increasingly integrated into organizations to provide emotional and functional support, understanding and fostering human−robot trust has become a critical area of focus. This study explores the formation and impact of human−robot trust from the perspective of the Unique Agent Hypothesis. We propose that human−robot trust comprises two distinct dimensions: emotional repair trust and functional aiding trust. Among various forms of human−robot collaboration, self-repair and friendship-repair forms primarily trigger emotional repair trust, while intelligence-aiding and physical-aiding forms more effectively enhance functional aiding trust. Furthermore, employees who develop emotional repair trust (vs. functional aiding trust) in HIRs perceive there to be greater organizational warmth, which in turn strengthens their job dedication intentions. Conversely, employees who develop functional aiding trust (vs. emotional repair trust) in HIRs perceive there to be higher organizational competence, thereby enhancing their job dedication intentions. In addition, interaction orientation and task orientation are introduced as crucial situational moderators. This research included one qualitative study and three quantitative studies. Study 1 (qualitative and experimental study) identified the two dimensions of human−robot trust and investigated the relationship between four forms of human−robot collaboration and trust. Study 2 (experimental study) verified how human−robot trust affects employees’ job dedication intentions through perceived organizational competence and warmth. Study 3 (experimental study) tested how interaction and task orientations moderate these effects. The main findings of this study are as follows. Study 1 provided evidence that emotional repair trust and functional aiding trust are two distinct dimensions of human−robot trust. Results showed that both self-repair and friendship-repair forms of human−robot collaboration elicited higher emotional repair trust than functional aiding trust, whereas both intelligence-aiding and physical-aiding forms led to higher functional aiding trust than emotional repair trust. Study 2 further demonstrated that functional aiding trust led to higher perceived organizational competence but lower perceived organizational warmth than did emotional repair trust. Further analysis (coded as 0 = emotional repair trust and 1 = functional aiding trust) in Study 2 revealed that the indirect effect of perceived organizational warmth was significantly negative, while the indirect effect of perceived organizational competence was significantly positive. Study 3 showed that interaction orientation (task orientation) positively (negatively) moderated the relationship between human−robot trust (coded as 0 = functional aiding trust and 1 = emotional repair trust) and perceived organizational warmth while negatively (positively) moderating the relationship between human−robot trust and perceived organizational competence. This study contributes to the emerging field of machine behavior by embedding HIR into the network of internal organizational dynamics and examining the impact of human−robot trust on employees’ job dedication intentions. The findings of this study suggest that employees’ trust in HIR agents’ emotional and functional support enhances perceived organizational warmth and competence, promoting their job dedication intentions. This demonstrates that organizational support provided by HIR agents can generate positive effects, thereby enriching and expanding the existing framework of organizational support theory.
