Additionally, the aim is to examine what factors could influence the perceptions regarding the model, and how the information provided is viewed by PSWs. The research uses a qualitative approach, and the data is collected through semi-structured interviews. Moreover, the study uses a thematic analysis for the analysis of data gathered. Additionally, the study uses Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) to explore the factors influencing PSWs perception of ChatGPT. The findings show that PSWs believed that ChatGPT could be used to support some of their work tasks. The model was seen as easy to use and had its benefits, such as perceived increased productivity and efficiency. However, the findings also indicate that there are several challenges that could influence the overall usage of ChatGPT. Overall, both performance expectancy and effort expectancy showed to be important factors of the evaluation of ChatGPT usage in this study. Moreover, the findings indicate that the functions and information provided by ChatGPT could influence the perceptions. For example, lack of references, lack of human touch, and security issues were found to influence the interviewed PSWs. Additionally, the study concludes that there are several perceived areas of improvements regarding ChatGPT.
