About
Sangseok You is a prominent researcher at the intersection of human-robot interaction (HRI), organizational behavior, and team dynamics. His work investigates how humans psychologically and socially respond to robots in collaborative workplace settings, addressing critical questions about trust, emotional attachment, personality, and team performance. You's most influential contributions examine the conditions under which humans effectively work alongside robots. His highly cited 2018 studies — garnering over 185 and 166 citations respectively — explored perceived safety in robot-integrated construction environments using immersive virtual reality, and how emotional attachment to robots shapes team outcomes. His research on human-robot similarity (107 citations) revealed that perceived likeness and trust significantly influence employees' willingness to accept robotic co-workers, offering practical guidance for organizations navigating workforce integration. Beyond individual dynamics, You has consistently examined team-level phenomena, including subgroup formation in human-robot teams and the role of trust in collective performance. His review of personality in human-robot interactions provides a much-needed conceptual framework for a previously fragmented field. With over 480 cumulative citations, You's body of work has meaningfully advanced understanding of how robots can be thoughtfully introduced into human teams, making him an essential voice for researchers, practitioners, and organizations designing the collaborative workplaces of the future.
