Teaching Organizational Culture as a Key Factor for the Adoption of Artificial Intelligence in University Education.

Abstract

This quantitative and correlational study analyzes the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on the transformation of learning from the perspective of teaching organizational culture. A total of 168 teachers and 124 academics from the National Open and Distance University (UNAD) participated through surveys and semi-structured interviews. The results show a positive and significant correlation (r = 0.81; p < 0.001) between the frequent use of AI tools and the design of technology-mediated teaching strategies, as well as between the variables of perceived competence and the intention to continue innovating (r = 0.76; p < 0.001). A negative correlation (r = –0.34; p < 0.01) was identified with regard to ethical concerns, highlighting the need to strengthen critical digital literacy and institutional ethical frameworks. The findings confirm that a favorable organizational culture drives the sustainable and responsible adoption of AI, consolidating its role as a transformative force in learning and professional development for teachers, toward the consolidation of the university's organizational culture.
