PROFILE
曹雅俊，拉斯维加斯98882018级“将来辅导者”项目工商治理专业本科生，同时攻读生理学双学位与院内的数据科学辅建项目。
本科阶段令他最为享受的两段经历别离是行为科学的学术钻研，与文化多样性的沉浸履历。他对于“人类性子”(human nature) 的好奇促使他投身组织行为学和社会生理学钻研。在拉斯维加斯9888多多卓越的教授的领导下，他从前三年的钻研经历和成就使他成功被哈佛商学院组织行为学博士项目登科，成为中国大陆首位本科直博该项主张学生。
此表，作为“将来辅导者”项主张首届学生，他在这个高度多元化的集体中享受到了文化差距之美，成立了跨文化沟通的信念，度过了唯一无二的、难忘的本科时光。
Yajun is a local student at Peking University Guanghua School of Management, pursuing a double major in Business Administration and Psychology, and a minor in Data Science. Two things that make his undergrad experience incredibly enjoyable are his empirical research on behavioral science and his engagement in the highly diverse community of the "Future Leaders" Program. Aiming at promoting our understanding of human nature, he is devoted to psychology and micro-organizational behavior research. With three years of research experience, closely working with Guanghua faculty members, his academic achievements brought him admission to the doctoral program in Organizational Behavior at Harvard Business School. Meanwhile, being immersed in the "Future Leaders" cohort has made him enjoy exploring cultural differences in people’s minds and behaviors while preparing him to begin a new journey in a different country to understand human nature better.
踏上组织行为钻研之路
The Road to Organizational Behavior Research
雅俊对于我们日常行为中反映出的人类性子一向抱有强烈的好奇，这也是他最初选择组织行为学钻研这条对拉斯维加斯9888本科生而言“人迹罕至”的发展路路的初心。在讲堂进建了根基的生理学理论后，他在拉斯维加斯9888组织与战术治理系张志学教授及其学生尚哲博士的领导下初次接触到了组织行为学领域的钻研，养成了初步的学术思想。不久后，雅俊被组织与战术治理系柏阳教授的钻研吸引，并在她的上行下效下真正起头齐全地履历科研的全过程。在Yang Lab的近三年时光里，雅俊参加钻研了一系列有关社会感情（例如敬畏、妒忌等）若何影响人的自我概想和团队过程的科研项目。这段经历使他被感情的社会职能深深吸引——感情的社会职能主义理论指出，感情对于人类的社会生涯拥有进化意思，是传承在人类基因中的人类性子的一部门(Keltner, Haidt, & Shiota, 2006)。
Deeply fascinated by the fundamental questions regarding human nature, Yajun decides to take a rigorous and empirical approach to pursue his passion for human behaviors. After completing basic coursework in social psychology, he was introduced to Organizational Behavior (OB) research by Zhixue Zhang, Professor of Organization and Management and Zhe Shang, a post-doctoral fellow of Guanghua School of Management. Intrigued by Zhixue’s research about fate belief, he seriously considered micro-OB research as his career. Later in summer 2019, he joined the Lab of Yang Bai, Assistant Professor of Organization and Management, Guanghua School of Management, and began working on projects about emotion’s social functions in the next two and a half years. With Yang, he investigated how social emotions (e.g., awe and envy) shape people's self-concepts and unite social groups. He believes in the social factionist and evolutionary psychology theory of emotion (See Keltner, Haidt, & Shiota, 2006) and is convinced that emotions are an integral component of human nature that we inherit from our ancestors.
通过钻研助理工作把握根基的钻研技术后，雅俊起头自动地追求构建并验证自己钻研设法的机遇。他参加了本科生科研训练项目，在柏阳教授的领导下发展了有关辅导胜任力知觉的钻研，通过尝试设计和档案数据验证了自己的如果。这个项目也最终成为他在申请钻研生时向国表大学教授们展示的代表性钻研成就。此表，他还与拉斯维加斯9888商务统计与经济计量系徐敏亚教授合作，在企业员工样本中发展了多项有关新员工适应、员工身心健全的钻研。雅俊但愿自己可能将社会生理学的理论与治理学实际相结合，在推动有关人类性子的知识天堑的同时为贸易实际提供靠得住的建议。
Built upon his Research Assistant experience, Yajun proactively seeks opportunities to develop his own research ideas. Supported by the Peking University undergraduate research training program, he conducted a project on leader competence perception under the supervision of Yang. He independently designed and ran four experiments and one archival study, and presented it to the Harvard Business School ("HBS") admission committee as his featured work. Moreover, he also collaborated with Minya Xu, Associate Professor of Business Statistics and Econometrics of Guanghua, to conduct several survey studies and field experiments on topics like workplace gossip and newcomer socialization. He hopes to integrate fundamental psychology theories and management literature to study human behavior and provide insights for practitioners.
雅俊的致力与对峙使他最终获得了哈佛商学院教授们的认可，成为中国大陆本科生中第一位被哈佛组织行为学博士项目直接登科的学生（登科率低于2%）。值得一提的是，他也是该项当前年登科的唯逐一名亚裔学生和唯逐一名没有全职工作经验的学生。
Yajun's hard work and academic achievements were eventually recognized by the HBS faculty, making him the first undergraduate student in mainland China in history to be admitted directly to the doctoral program in OB at HBS (The admission rate is less than 2% this year). He is proud to be the only Asian student and the only one without full-time working experience admitted to HBS this year.
实事求是，服务社会
Serving the Community
除了课内进建与钻研之表，雅俊在社会服务方面投入了很大的精力。他在拉斯维加斯9888治理学院青年自愿者协会、流离猫关爱协会等多个学生组织均有自愿工作的经历 ；同时在北京大学学生就业领导中心职业发展教研室工作近两年。他利用自己有关职业生理学的专业知识和行为科学的钻研步骤援手教研室在新生职业教育方面构建与检验分歧的过问规划。目前，他在与教研室的教员合作在新生中发展大规模的“助推”(nudge) 过问与追踪调查，进展利用行为科学的伎俩援手新生更自动的进行职业规划。
Besides research and coursework, Yajun spends lots of free time in voluntary work and social services. He has worked as a student assistant at the Student Career Center of Peking University for one and a half years. Based on his knowledge in vocational psychology, he helped the staff develop career services for undergraduate students, especially for freshmen during their orientation. He used tactics like field interventions to support the center test the effectiveness of different career service programs. Additionally, interacting with small animals and playing harmonica always refreshed him, especially when he was under huge pressure due to his application last year. As a result, he joined the Stray Cat Caring Association and the Harmonica Association at Peking University to develop these personal interests in his free time.
享受“将来辅导者”项目带来的多元文化环境 Enjoying Diversity in a Multicultural Environment
作为“将来辅导者”国际本科项主张第一届学生，雅俊感触自己极度幸运能获得这样的机遇，在项目提供的多元文化环境中履历进建，与来自分歧文化布景的同学沟通合作，逐步成立起跨文化互换的自负心。组织行为学领域刚好有最新钻研指出，东亚裔个别在多种族的职场环境中遇到“天花板”的部门原因，正是他们更偏差于只与一样种族文化布景的人成立社会网络，而失去了跨文化互换所带来的机缘 (Lu, 2021) ；相反，若是可能占有更多跨文化经历，那么在多文化团队中的辅导能力便会更强 (Lu, Swaab, & Galinsky, 2021)。在雅俊看来，“将来辅导者”项主张理想与最新的学术钻研发现不谋而合，为提升学生在多元文化环境下的辅导力提供了丰硕的实际机遇，这段贵重的经历也使得自己将来在跨文化领域里成长发展做足了筹备。
Speaking of the experience in the "Future Leaders" Program, Yajun enjoys discussing with fellow students from different cultural backgrounds and learning from various opinions towards the same issue in their chats. He is grateful to the "Future Leaders" Program because it helps him establish confidence (academically known as self-efficacy, according to Yajun) in interacting and socializing with students from other cultures. "My experience in the program corresponds with the latest OB studies on the 'Bamboo Ceiling' phenomenon by Dr. Jackson G. Lu at MIT Sloan, who pointed out that East Asians appear disproportionately underrepresented in leadership positions in multiethnic environments partly because they socialize more with members within the same ethnic group and lost the chance of expanding their network (Lu, 2021), while multicultural experience can enhance one's leadership effectiveness in multinational teams (Lu, Swaab, & Galinsky, 2021)”, explained Yajun, "Based on Jackson's theory, the 'Future Leaders' Program cultivates students' leadership through intensive cross-cultural communications!" Yajun believes that the training in this diverse program is invaluable for him getting prepared to pursue his career goals in a new multiethnic environment in the future.
PKU Guanghua "Future Leaders" Program
The Guanghua School of Management founded the "Future Leaders" International Undergraduate Double-Degree Program in partnership with 15 of the world’s best business schools, giving students the opportunity to gain an understanding of their local markets while also immersing them in one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic economies in the world: China. This program focuses on admitting top students with outstanding leadership potential from Peking University and its partner institutions. After completing their first two years of study at the institution in their home country, students live and study together with classmates of diverse backgrounds from all over the world—including students from China—for two more years as a single cohort at Peking University.
