About the Lab

Professor Jae Uk Chun's research lab specializes in organizational behavior, with a focus on transformational and ethical leadership, mentoring relationships, and interpersonal dynamics in the workplace. The lab investigates how leadership behaviors—particularly transformational and humble leadership—impact employee well-being, performance, and organizational citizenship through mechanisms such as leader-member exchange (LMX), trust, and moral identity. Using multilevel and longitudinal designs across diverse organizational contexts, especially in East Asian settings like South Korea, the lab explores the psychological and relational processes that shape positive work outcomes.

The model outlines how repeated exposure to trigger events can lead to the escalation of workplace aggression while also highlighting the moderating role of such factors as an individual's level of self-control and attitude toward
