  text: Organizations leverage artificial intelligence (AI) systems to augment or
    automate employee decision-making practices. These changes often transform employees’
    occupation significantly and, thus, the way employees perceive themselves as professionals.
    By making use of qualitative insights from three case organizations that introduced
    AI systems for decision making, we explore how AI systems affect employees’ occupational
    identity. Our findings uncover three important dimensions that shape the way AI
    systems affect occupational identity. Based on our insights, we derive implications
    for the successful introduction of AI systems and highlight potential pitfalls
    that may arise from different organizational strategies used to introduce AI systems.
