About

Franziska Doris Wolf is a leading voice in the emerging field of human-robot teaming, exploring how artificial intelligence reshapes organizational dynamics. Her work bridges robotics, organizational behavior, and management science to understand when and why robots are accepted as collaborators—and even as supervisors. In her highly cited review, “How and When Can Robots Be Team Members? Three Decades of Research on Human–Robot Teams” (2022, 46 citations), Wolf synthesizes decades of interdisciplinary research to define the conditions under which robots transition from tools to teammates. Her earlier “Human-Robot Teams: A Review” (2020, 11 citations) laid foundational groundwork for this rapidly expanding field. Wolf’s most provocative contribution, “One Size Does Not Fit All: Mechanisms of Employees’ Acceptance of Robotic Lower-Level Managers” (2025, 8 citations), directly confronts the future of leadership by investigating how employees perceive android and humanoid social robots in managerial roles. This work challenges one-size-fits-all assumptions, revealing that acceptance depends on nuanced mechanisms tied to task type, robot appearance, and organizational context. Wolf’s research is essential reading for scholars and practitioners navigating the integration of social robots into the modern workplace.
