About
Sarah Bankins is a leading voice at the intersection of organizational behavior and emerging technology, with her research fundamentally reshaping how we understand the future of work. Her most influential work, "When AI meets PC" (2019, 101 citations), pioneers the groundbreaking concept of a "human-robot psychological contract," extending traditional employer-employee exchange theory to include workplace social robots. This seminal contribution challenges us to consider the implicit, subjective beliefs humans form with non-human agents, a critical insight as AI becomes an integral colleague rather than just a tool. Beyond this, Bankins explores the ethical and practical implications of algorithmic management and the evolving nature of careers in automated environments. Her work, consistently published in top-tier journals, has garnered significant attention for its timely and provocative reframing of workplace relationships. For any student or researcher grappling with the human side of technological disruption, Bankins offers a vital, nuanced lens through which to view our increasingly hybrid workforce.
