About
Dr. Yingchao Dong is a leading scholar at the intersection of construction workforce diversity and technological transformation. Her research critically examines how emerging technologies—from automation to digital tools—are reshaping hiring practices, performance evaluation, and inclusion in the traditionally male-dominated construction industry. Dr. Dong’s most cited work, “Building Diversity in the Construction Industry: Examining Hiring and Performance Evaluation Practices for Equipment Operators under the Trend of Technology Transformation” (2024), highlights a stark reality: women represent only 2.7% of construction equipment operators. Her study reveals how technology adoption can either reinforce or disrupt systemic gender biases in recruitment and assessment. By linking diversity metrics with technological change, Dr. Dong provides actionable frameworks for industry leaders seeking equitable workforce transitions. Her contributions have already garnered attention from policymakers and construction firms, with her work cited in discussions on inclusive innovation. Dr. Dong’s research is essential reading for scholars and practitioners aiming to build a more diverse, technologically adaptive construction sector—one where opportunity is not defined by gender but by skill and potential.
