About
Corinna Peifer is a leading voice in the evolving landscape of human-technology interaction, with her research centering on the critical intersection of work psychology, motivation, and artificial intelligence. Her most impactful work, a scoping review and network analysis on "Defining human-AI teaming the human-centered way" (2023, 131 citations), has fundamentally shaped how the field conceptualizes collaboration between humans and intelligent systems. Rather than focusing solely on efficiency, Peifer champions a human-centered perspective that prioritizes worker autonomy, cognitive outcomes, and motivational well-being. This is exemplified in her influential study on human-robot interaction (2022), which demonstrates how giving workers genuine influence over task allocation in HRI settings enhances their sense of autonomy and performance. By bridging procedural justice with work-psychological principles, Peifer provides a crucial framework for designing AI systems that empower rather than displace human workers. Her work is essential reading for researchers and students in human-computer interaction, organizational psychology, and the future of work, offering a roadmap for building collaborative technologies that respect human agency and foster intrinsic motivation.
