About
Yingchao Ji is a rising scholar in organizational behavior and human-robot interaction, whose work explores the psychological and behavioral implications of emerging technologies in the workplace. Her research primarily investigates how collaboration with non-human agents—such as robots and AI—reshapes employees’ social cognition, ethical decision-making, and interpersonal dynamics. In her most-cited paper, “My colleague is not ‘human’: Will working with robots make you act more indifferently?” (2024, 31 citations), Ji provides compelling evidence that interacting with robotic coworkers can reduce individuals’ sensitivity toward human colleagues, leading to increased emotional detachment and moral disengagement. This work has significant implications for understanding the unintended social costs of automation in modern organizations. Ji’s contributions are notable for bridging social psychology, technology ethics, and management science, offering both theoretical insights and practical guidance for designing humane and ethical workplaces in an increasingly automated world. Her early citation impact signals growing influence, and her research continues to attract attention from scholars and practitioners concerned with the future of work.
