Abstract Based on social information processing theory, this study explores the mediating role of employees’ intention to use artificial intelligence between HRM system strength, work autonomy, and innovative behavior through a two-stage survey of 311 employees from 2 companies. The results show that employees’ intention to use artificial intelligence positively influences their innovative behavior. Both HRM system strength and work autonomy positively affect employees’ intention to use artificial intelligence. Employees’ intention to use artificial intelligence mediates the relationship between HRM system strength, work autonomy, and innovative behavior. In addition, work autonomy not only positively moderates the relationship between HRM system strength and employees’ intention to use artificial intelligence, but also strengthens the mediating effect of employees’ intention to use artificial intelligence in the relationship between HRM system strength and innovative behavior.
