Rose Kim

Dr. Hae-Lyeng Rose Kim's research explores how current workplace contexts—social, physical, and now digital—shape employee proactivity. To this end, she employs longitudinal field surveys, experience-sampling studies, laboratory and online experiments, and qualitative interviews, to pursue one overarching question: When and how do changing work contexts facilitate or inhibit proactive behaviors?

Rose earned her PhD in Organizational Behavior & Human Resource Management from the University of Maryland; MS in Organizational Behavior from Seoul National University; MS in Journalism from Columbia University; and BS in Business Administration from Seoul National University.

Prior to joining the academia, she worked in the finance industry, and as a journalist at Bloomberg, covering corporate governance issues at major chaebols (i.e., South Korea's family-run conglomerates), and Korea's auto industry.

Research Interest: Proactivity; Motivation; Future of Work; Work Environment; Power & Status Dynamics
