About
Hyun Jeong Kim is a researcher whose work sits at the compelling intersection of human-robot interaction, organizational behavior, and workplace psychology. Kim's most notable contribution examines how robots' human-likeness triggers psychological unease among human workers — a phenomenon rooted in the concept of the "uncanny valley" — and how this emotional response translates into tangible workplace consequences, including employee fear and intentions to leave their industries entirely. Published in 2024 and already accumulating 54 citations, this work represents a timely and significant contribution to our understanding of how the rapid proliferation of humanoid robots is reshaping the emotional landscape of modern workplaces. By bridging robotics aesthetics with employee well-being and retention, Kim's research offers critical insights for organizational leaders, HR professionals, and technology designers who must navigate the human costs of automation. The swift uptake of this paper within the research community signals strong and growing scholarly interest in Kim's approach, positioning her as an emerging voice in the increasingly urgent conversation about humans and robots sharing professional environments.
