About
Wenpu Li is a rising scholar in organizational behavior, whose research critically examines the psychological costs of human-robot collaboration in the workplace. While much of the literature celebrates the efficiency gains of working alongside robots, Li’s work reveals a darker side. In her highly cited 2023 paper, “The Dark Side of Employee Collaboration with Robots,” she demonstrates that such collaboration can trigger self-esteem threats and lead to employee burnout—a finding that has garnered 36 citations and sparked important conversations in both academia and industry. By shifting the focus from productivity to psychological well-being, Li challenges the dominant narrative and provides a more nuanced understanding of technology’s impact on workers. Her research is particularly relevant as organizations increasingly adopt automation, and it offers critical insights for managers seeking to implement collaborative robotics without harming employee morale. Li’s work stands out for its timely, human-centered perspective, establishing her as a key voice in the future of work and organizational psychology.
