Ui Young Sun is a current Ph.D. student in the OB/HR Ph.D. program at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). Before joining UIC, he worked as a financial analyst in LG CNS for three years and a senior manager in Baekhyangmok education for one year in South Korea. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Economics at London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE, London, UK) and earned his master’s degree in Business Administration, with a specialization in Organizational Behavior, at Seoul National University (Seoul, South Korea). He was strongly attracted to UIC because of his interest in servant leadership and Professor Robert C. Liden’s strong expertise in this research field. Currently, his main research interest lies in exploring how servant leaders differentiate between their followers in terms of providing their support for their followers. He is currently working with Professor Liden for this project. He is also actively collaborating with Professor John Lynch, Professor Don Kluemper, Professor Sandy Wayne, and other current students of the OB/HR PhD program at UIC. His past works have been accepted for the presentation at the AOM (Academy of Management) and SIOP (Society for Industrial and Organizational Psychology) annual conference for a number of times.
