adoption of technology-assisted solutions, specifically Chat-GPT, to efficiently complete assigned tasks within
deadlines working through any device from anywhere. Consequently, the perceived ease of use and usefulness
associated with Chat-GPT’s AI-generated text contribute to shaping students’ favorable attitudes toward utilizing
Chat-GPT and also play a role in reducing their stress levels. Furthermore, the study confirms that the devel
opment of a positive attitude in students acts as a driving force, compelling them to engage with Chat-GPT
through ubiquitous learning (UL) procedure, ultimately resulting in increased actual usage of Chat-GPT. This
pattern, in turn, contributes to stress and anxiety reduction among management science students. The study’s
outcomes corroborate the TAM model, which aligns with the social exchange process, demonstrating its appli

learning experiences of researchers.
