About

Kayode Kolawole Eluwole is an emerging scholar whose research sits at the intersection of hospitality management, artificial intelligence, and service robotics. His work critically examines how technological disruption — particularly the rise of robots and AI — is reshaping the hospitality and tourism industries, with a keen focus on human responses to these transformations. Eluwole gained significant scholarly attention for his timely investigation into employees' perceptions of robot-induced unemployment during the COVID-19 pandemic, a paper that has garnered 99 citations and speaks directly to workforce anxieties in an era of accelerating automation. Building on this foundation, he has extended his inquiry into consumer behavior, exploring how safety, hygiene, and health awareness shape tourists' willingness to engage with service robots in hotel environments. His more recent work probes the motivational factors driving customer acceptance of AI-powered robot chefs in casual dining settings, reflecting his commitment to understanding both the supply and demand sides of hospitality technology adoption. Through empirical, survey-based methodologies, Eluwole consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with real-world industry concerns, making his contributions valuable to researchers, hospitality practitioners, and policymakers navigating the future of human-robot interaction in service environments.
