Jingfeng Yin

Jingfeng Yin is an assistant professor in the Department of Management and Marketing at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He earned a PhD in business administration from the University of Illinois Chicago. His research examines newcomer adjustment, workplace relationships and strategic leadership, including how relationships within teams relate to performance.

Yin coauthored a meta-analysis with Zhenyu Yuan and Jiaqing Sun that examined four forms of team conflict. Each had a negative average association with team performance, while the associations for task and relationship conflict varied substantially across situations. The study describes patterns across research rather than a rule for handling every disagreement.
