About

Jia-Min Li is an emerging scholar whose research sits at the intersection of human-robot collaboration, organizational behavior, and employee well-being within the hospitality industry. With a focused research agenda centered on how robotic technologies reshape the workplace experiences of hotel employees, Li has made notable contributions to understanding both the opportunities and challenges that automation presents in service environments. Li's most impactful work examines the psychological and behavioral consequences of human-robot collaboration, including how work autonomy influences employee health outcomes, the role of job insecurity, and the critical mediating factor of person-job fit. A particularly significant contribution explores the double-edged nature of robot adoption on employee turnover intention, acknowledging that technological integration carries both beneficial and detrimental effects — a nuanced perspective that has resonated strongly with the research community, garnering 80 citations. Li's most-cited paper, accumulating 100 citations, has positioned them as a leading voice in hospitality technology research. More recent work investigates proactive employee behavior and event-driven behavioral change in human-robot collaborative settings, signaling a broadening research trajectory. Overall, Li's scholarship offers valuable, practically relevant insights for hoteliers and policymakers navigating the complexities of workforce automation.
