Siyin Chen is a Ph.D. Candidate in organizational behaviour and human resource management at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management. She is a field researcher interested in the commodification of personalized work – the difficult experience of selling work that closely defines workers’ sense of self. She studies this phenomenon through the theoretical lenses of identity and morality, using both qualitative (e.g., ethnography, interviews), and quantitative methods (e.g., field experiments, surveys). In her dissertation, she studied how porcelain artists in China navigated a market shock that forced them to commodify art for mass market audiences. It received the Best Student Paper Award (first place) from the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS) and the Dissertation Award from the International Association for Chinese Management Research (IACMR). Her dissertation proposal was selected as a finalist for the 2022 Organization Science/INFORMS Dissertation Proposal Competition.
