The results have revealed that Implementing AI-enabled talent acquisition significantly increases the contentment of HR/TA management. Aside from performance expectancy, task-technology compatibility, cost-effectiveness, and effort expectancy all positively impact AI-enabled talent acquisition. However, security and privacy have no such effect. HR readiness moderates the effect of AI-enabled talent acquisition on HR management satisfaction significantly and positively. Effort expectancy, performance expectancy, and task-technology fit all positively and significantly mediate HR/TA management satisfaction.
