Jiaqing Sun is a doctoral candidate in Organizational Behavior and Human Resources at the Department of Managerial Studies, University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Prior to joining in the doctoral program in UIC, she had received her B.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Social Psychology from Beijing Normal University (in China). Her current research interests primarily focus on leadership phenomena, especially the topics of leader-member exchange, servant leadership, and dual leadership. She adopts the perspective of emotions and attributions—a crucial dual process in the human mind—to understand the complex outcomes of leader-follower dyadic interactions. Supported by Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership, she conducted a study exploring employees’ attributions and gratitude toward servant leaders. This study was presented at the Third International Symposium on Attribution Theory.
