SummaryA qualitative study based on 14 interviews with IT professionals examines how GenAI integration into system administration affects expertise development and performance perception. It identifies two unanticipated effects: compression of traditional expertise pathways and a shift in productivity expectations creating 'productivity guilt' and 'two-speed cultures' within teams.
Why it mattersInductive interview findings on how GenAI shortcuts expertise acquisition and resets team productivity norms. Useful lens for organizations planning AI rollout in technical operations.
