Dr. Jing Wu is Assistant Professor in Human Resource Management at the Management Discipline. She received her PhD in Organizational Behavior from Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, the Netherlands. Before joining Galway, Jing worked as a faculty member at BI Norwegian Business School.

Jing’s research centers on how to facilitate communication and foster proactivity in both traditional organizational settings and AI-mediated workplaces. In traditional settings, she focuses on employee voice behavior, or expression of work-related ideas, suggestions, or concerns, and examines how social dynamics—such as interdependence, interpersonal ties, and social structure—shape the emergence, development, and reception of voice. In AI-mediated workplaces, she explores how gig workers navigate challenges that stem from algorithmic management and how power dynamics between freelance creative workers and their clients influence interactions and work outcomes. Her research has appeared in academic journals such as the Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Organizational Behavior, and Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology.

In carrying out research projects, Jing adopts a multi-method approach, integrating field surveys, lab experiments, field experiments, interviews, and archive data. And she uses a variety of statistical methods, such as multilevel analysis, polynomial regression and response surface analyses, social network analysis, and latent growth modeling.

Jing teaches courses at both undergraduate and graduate levels, including topics on organizational behavior, human resource management, communication, diversity management, cross-cultural management, leadership, and quantitative statistical methodology.  

In addition to her academic background, Jing also has professional experience in human resource management and consulting.
