Figure 2.
The flowchart has three columns headed First-Order Categories, Second-Order Themes and Aggregate Theoretical Dimensions. The content is arranged in three horizontal groups. In the first group, the First-Order Categories box lists nine items: Constant output correction; Time spent correcting A I not counted; Monitoring and validating Gen A I; Extra coordination work; A I only works because humans stabilise it; Efficiency discussed in abstract terms; Benefits not visible in daily schedules; Responsibility without authority; and Reputational risk remains local. Three arrows extend from this box to the Second-Order Themes labelled 1.-Abstracted Decision Authority, 2.-Diffusion of Accountability and 3.-Responsibility–Value Misalignment. The three themes connect by arrows that converge on the Aggregate Theoretical Dimension labelled Resistance to Contested Efficiency. In the second group, the First-Order Categories box lists nine items: Blindly trusting the system; Loss of explainability; Decisions no longer negotiated; Difficulty contesting A I outputs; Authority shifts to the system; Accountability remains personal; Unclear ownership of errors; Informal overrides of A I; and Treating A I output as provisional. Three arrows extend from this box to the Second-Order Themes labelled 4.-Abstracted Decision Authority, 5.-Diffusion of Accountability and 6.-Reassertion of Human Judgment. The three themes connect by arrows that converge on the Aggregate Theoretical Dimension labelled Resistance to Algorithmic Control. In the third group, the First-Order Categories box lists nine items: Speed and standardisation prioritised; Care and contextual judgment devalued; Relational labour less visible; Judgement of productivity increases despite no increment; A I receives credit for outcomes; Loss of authorship; Professional expertise backgrounded; Distancing identity from A I outputs; and Limiting A I use in value-laden tasks. Three arrows extend from this box to the Second-Order Themes labelled 7.-Shifting Criteria of Valuable Work, 8.-Symbolic Displacement of Identity and 9.-Identity-Preserving Practices. The three themes connect by arrows that converge on the Aggregate Theoretical Dimension labelled Moral and Identity-Based Resistance.Data structure
