About
Dr. Yaoqi Li is a pioneering organizational behavior scholar whose research sits at the critical intersection of human-robot interaction, leadership, and workplace dynamics. Her most notable contribution is the conceptualization and measurement of "Leader Anthropomorphizing Behavior Toward Robots" (LABR), a groundbreaking framework published in 2025 that has already garnered significant attention. This work systematically theorizes how leaders attribute human-like qualities to workplace robots, revealing profound implications for employee perceptions of objectification and subsequent workplace deviance. By bridging the gap between leadership theory and emerging AI-integrated work environments, Dr. Li has established herself as a leading voice in understanding the psychological and behavioral consequences of human-robot collaboration. Her research illuminates how seemingly benign leader behaviors toward non-human agents can reshape organizational culture and employee treatment. As organizations rapidly adopt robotic technologies, Dr. Li’s work provides essential guidance for leaders navigating this new frontier. Her contributions are particularly valuable for researchers studying technology adoption, organizational behavior, and the future of work, offering both theoretical depth and practical insights for managing increasingly hybrid human-robot teams.
