About Luke Zhu
Dr. Luke Zhu is an Associate Professor of Organization Studies at the Schulich School of Business, York University, Toronto.
Dr. Zhu’s research focuses on business ethics, diversity, and person impressions, which includes empirical investigations of the psychological and sociological underpinnings of employee (un)ethical behaviours at work, causes and interventions of gender and race discrimination in organizations, and individual perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) as well as the impact of AI on the workforce. To date, Dr. Zhu has published 15 peer-reviewed journal articles at premier, high-impact journals in the field of organizational behaviour, such as the Journal of Applied Psychology, and in psychology, such as Cognition and the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology. Moreover, Dr. Zhu has published his work in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, an outlet which acknowledges only the most important scientific endeavors, which rarely includes findings from the behavioral sciences.
Dr. Zhu currently serves as an editorial member of the Journal of Vocation Behavior and an ad-hoc reviewer for journals such as Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, the Journal of Applied Psychology, and the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
