A Gallup study reveals that employees who frequently use AI are more than twice as likely to fear job displacement within five years compared to infrequent users, with heightened anxiety linked to lower engagement, satisfaction, and higher burnout and turnover intent. However, supportive management practices—particularly when employees feel cared for and respected—significantly reduce this fear, especially among frequent AI users. The findings highlight the importance for leaders to prioritize clear communication, targeted support for AI-exposed workers, and ongoing engagement monitoring to mitigate AI-related job anxiety and its impacts on workforce stability.
