Tianyu studies how various bases of hierarchy impact people and teams in organizations. In one line of research, Tianyu examines how different forms of the hierarchy may foster or forestall team performance by influencing team processes. In another line of research, Tianyu examines the experiences of people in financially-based hierarchies. Specifically, Tianyu examines how experiences of financial vulnerability and economic adversity inform people’s cognitions and assumptions about their work environment.
