Juseob Lee

Juseob Lee is an Assistant Professor of Industrial/Organizational Psychology in the Department of Psychology at the Kendall College of Arts & Sciences, University of Tulsa, where he directs the Recovery, Employee Stress, and Technology (REST) Laboratory. His research focuses on enhancing workplace well-being through investigations of occupational stressors, recovery mechanisms, and technological impacts.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Central Florida
• M.S. in Human Resources and Employment Relations from Pennsylvania State University
• B.S. in Business Administration from the University of Texas at Dallas

Dr. Lee's research program systematically addresses three interconnected domains: (1) etiology and manifestations of work-related stress across contexts, (2) evidence-based recovery strategies for improved physical/mental health and productivity, and (3) organizational implications of emerging technologies like human-robot systems. His work bridges occupational health psychology and organizational behavior with strong methodological rigor in hospitality and service sectors.

Analysis of his 2015-2024 publications reveals consistent thematic evolution toward digital workplace challenges (e.g., doomscrolling, VR training) while maintaining core focus on stress-recovery dynamics. Key methodological trends include dual-process modeling of incivility spirals, examination of moral licensing effects, and investigation of idiosyncratic deals in precarious work environments.

Dr. Lee has secured research funding through intramural and extramural grants from the University of Central Florida and the Sunshine Education and Research Center. His REST Laboratory serves as an interdisciplinary hub examining technology-mediated stress and recovery, with particular emphasis on weekend recuperation strategies and supervisor-employee interaction dynamics in high-stress industries.
