SAP-LAP Model of Change Management for the Sustainable Employment of the Population in the Conditions of Dissemination of AI

The goal of this paper was to find the cause-and-effect links of change management, which are connected with the dissemination of AI, in the labour market and to build a SAP-LAP model to manage these changes in support of sustainable employment of the population. The paper is based on statistical data from 60 countries of the world for which Tortois provides statistical records in the sphere of dissemination of AI and the World Bank’s data in the sphere of employment. The methods of correlation and regression analysis were used to provide the economic and mathematical explanation of the essence and character of the influence of changes in the sphere of AI on the sustainable employment of the population. The theoretical importance consists in the disclosure of the cause-and-effect links of change management that are connected with the dissemination of AI in the labour market. This opens new wide opportunities for high-precision planning and forecasting of change management. It was proven that the scenario of the population's employment in the conditions of dissemination of AI is preferable in the case of systemic and coordinated change management because it is non-contradictory and ensures the largest advantages for the sustainability of the population's employment. The main conclusion of the authors is that university management and state and corporate change management in the labour market in the conditions of dissemination of AI are not alternative ways and models, but mutually reinforcing directions for change management, which should be implemented systemically in the proposed SAP-LAP model. The uniqueness of this paper lies in proposing an original solution to the problem of ensuring the sustainability of the population's employment in the conditions of dissemination of AI, which is connected with the development of a SAP-LAP model of change management. The practical importance is as follows: the prepared SAP-LAP model helps raise the flexibility and effectiveness of change management in the activities of all management objects—universities, state regulators, and business structures. Due to this, the SAP-LAP model raises their adaptability to changes in the labour market and supports the growth of sustainability of the population's employment in the conditions of dissemination of AI in the Decade of Action.
