Outline

Given that the widespread adoption of large-scale language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and DeepSeek has significantly transformed how people work in education, careers, and creative fields, this paper investigates the impact of the structure and clarity of user prompts on the effectiveness and productivity of LLM output. Using data from 243 survey respondents with diverse academic and professional backgrounds, we analyze AI usage habits, prompting strategies, and user satisfaction. Results show that users who use clear, structured, and context-aware prompts report greater task efficiency and better outcomes. These findings highlight the critical role of prompt engineering in maximizing the value of generative AI and provide practical guidance for everyday use.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
Empirically demonstrating that clear and structured prompts increase the effectiveness and productivity of LLMs.
Emphasizes the importance of prompt engineering and presents practical strategies for leveraging generative AI.
Ensure generalizability by leveraging user data from diverse backgrounds.
Limitations:
As this study is based on survey data, further research is needed to determine its generalizability to real-world work environments.
Further consideration is needed on methodologies for quantitatively measuring the structure and clarity of prompts.
The results may be limited to a specific LLM, and further research is needed on other LLMs.
