Abstract

This study investigates the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in modern leadership and its influence on organizational performance. As technological advancements continue to reshape business landscapes, the integration of AI into leadership practices has emerged as a key driver of improved decision-making, employee engagement, communication, and strategic adaptability. Utilizing a quantitative-descriptive research design, the study surveyed 45 professionals across various sectors in Cabanatuan City to assess AI adoption levels, leadership structures, and organizational cultures. Findings indicate that while AI significantly enhances leadership effectiveness and contributes to productivity, innovation, and financial growth, adoption levels vary by industry, with technology-focused sectors showing greater integration. Challenges such as skill gaps, technological limitations, ethical concerns, and resistance to change were identified as key barriers. Ethical considerations, particularly around data privacy and algorithmic bias, were also highlighted. The study proposes a strategic framework grounded in the Input-Process-Output (IPO) model to guide organizations in ethically and effectively incorporating AI into leadership. Tailored recommendations include investing in training, infrastructure, ethical governance, and sector-specific strategies to maximize AI’s potential in enhancing leadership and organizational outcomes.
