  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Contributions to Management Science ((MANAGEMENT SC.))

Abstract

As advancement in technology is on the rise in organizational setting as observed in other areas, human-robot interaction is getting more focused in both academic and practical studies. Social robots influence business life deeply and hence human life by changing organizational settings. This study aims to explore how the interaction between humans and robots affects the workplace and in what aspects we can explain the nature of sociality and collaboration with robots. It also aims to put forward advantages and disadvantages of human-robot interaction by presenting essential reference points and discussing many aspects of human-robot interaction in organizations.
