Examining the Impact of Artificial Intelligence Adoption on IT Project Success in Pakistan: The Moderating Role of Employee Skill Readiness"

Abstract

The increased application of smart technologies has remodeled how projects are handled in the world IT industry. In Pakistan, the immense growth of the IT sector offers prospects for the incorporation of smart systems to bolster project performance. This research examines how the application of smart systems influences IT project success, with emphasis on the impact of employees' technical readiness on this relationship. A systematic questionnaire was administered to IT professionals working in different organizations in Pakistan, and the information were processed through statistical regression techniques. The findings reveal that the deployment of intelligent systems plays a significant role in realizing project objectives such as efficiency, quality, and timely completion. In addition, the study demonstrates that the performance of such technology largely depends on the capabilities of the workforce to effectively use them. When workers are properly trained and capable of utilizing these tools, the advantages of technology adoption are fully realized. The research stresses the need for investment in employee training and development to enable the successful implementation of smart systems in IT project settings. The findings are useful for project managers, decision makers, and IT companies looking to maximize project results through technological innovation and human resource development.
