Dr. Chenwei Liao is Assistant Professor in Michigan State University’s School of Human Resources and Labor Relations. He received his Ph.D. degree from University of Illinois at Chicago. Interested in the phenomena around leaders and followers, Dr. Liao conducts two streams of research. In one, he considers how leadership styles (e.g., servant leadership) and leader-follower relationships influence team dynamics and individual outcomes. In the other stream, he examines the role of work arrangements negotiated between leaders and followers (i.e., idiosyncratic deals) in shaping employee and team outcomes. Dr. Liao’s research has appeared in journals such as Academy of Management Journal, Leadership Quarterly, Journal of Organizational Behavior, and Human Resource Management Review.
