School of Business and Management Department of Management 217 Social Perceptions, Justice, and Diversity Supervisor: CHAO Melody Man Chi / MGMT Student: CHEN Jingruo / QSA Course: UROP1100, Spring The Covid-19 has led to large-scale unemployment and changed the working mode significantly, imposing tremendous pressure on employees, which might be correlated with their attitudes towards work. In addition, evidence suggests that the pandemic may have affected women more severely in the workplace with the blurring line between work and life. In this project, I investigate the correlation between wellbeing, work ethics and gender by exploring data retrieved from World Value Survey. I also help design and analyze surveys exploring people's views towards employees who are workfocused or prefer work-life balance under specific scenarios such as behaving unethical pro-organizationally or being interrupted when working home. Social Perceptions, Justice, and Diversity Supervisor: CHAO Melody Man Chi / MGMT Student: PAN Xinyi / ECOF Course: UROP2100, Spring The proliferation of technology has allowed Artificial Intelligence (AI) to take up various roles in organizations. While some are hopeful about the increase in efficiency AI can bring to the workplace, others feel threatened about their increasing presence in the workplace. We aim to examine the impact of such contrasting perceptions of AI in an intergroup context: How does one’s perception of AI affect their prosocial behavior, particularly towards ingroup and outgroup members? Whereas previous studies had inconsistent findings on the impact of AI on intergroup relations, our study (N = 279) found that perceiving AI as a threat (vs. a benefit) leads to more prosocial behavior towards outgroup members. Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed. Social Perceptions, Justice, and Diversity Supervisor: CHAO Melody Man Chi / MGMT Student: JHA Spriha / MGMT Course: UROP1000, Summer Emojis have become an increasingly important part of today’s youth’s lives. Hence, it is both essential and interesting to study how these emojis are perceived by different age groups, genders, and backgrounds. Having enrolled in UROP1000 to find out more about the field of academic research, 16 articles from the existing literature about emojis are reviewed and summarized. The findings of these articles reveal themes on why people use emojis and how they affect their perceptions and behaviors. People mostly use emojis to make up for the lack of the body language element in virtual communications. Emojis are usually perceived as incompetent in formal settings and create a negative bias towards the sender. The research articles also present some gaps, which serve as future directions for further research.
