Dr. Michelle Penelope King is an organisational psychologist and a globally recognised expert on workplace culture, human motivation and the future of work. Her latest research explores what happens to people’s agency, capability and relationships when AI quietly takes over the world of work that so many relied on for their identity.
In her latest book, My Workplace Is Killing Me!, Dr. King explores how workplaces can, through bad bosses, challenging colleagues, burnout, and boredom, erode employee autonomy, competence, and connection, and why AI is making this worse. Dr. King is also the author of two other bestselling, award-winning books: The Fix: Overcome the Invisible Barriers that are Holding Women Back at Work and How Work Works: The Subtle Science of Getting Ahead Without Losing Yourself.

Her books have also received recognition, including a Porchlight Business Book Award, an Axiom Business Book Award, and the Inc. Non-Obvious Book Award.
