CV
Jennifer Griffith, PhD, is an Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior and Morrison Faculty Fellow of Diversity at the University of New Hampshire's Peter T. Paul College of Business and Economics where she teaches undergraduate- and MBA-level courses in organizational behavior, human resource management, & DEI.

​She earned her PhD in Industrial-Organizational Psychology with minor in Quantitative Psychology from the University of Oklahoma in 2013, and through a research assistantship at OU's Center for Applied Social Research, developed a multi-faceted research portfolio.


Her research focuses on exploring cognitive, social, and environmental mechanisms that contribute to workplace inequity, and subsequently, how to increase equity in the workplace from an intersectional lens.
Most recently, she has focused on workplace policy and interventions both pre- and post-hire to address identity-based bias and sexual harassment.
 Her research lab, Modern Work Lab, recruits and mentors undergraduate students of various majors at UNH who are interested in translating this research stream into practical workplace solutions, including recommendations for selection and assessment systems, leadership development, workplace training programs, and organizational policy change. She also serves as Fellow at UNH's Prevention Innovations Research Center where she acts as a research partner & consultant on issues related to social cognition & environmental workplace factors (e.g., organizational culture) relevant for the prediction and prevention of sexual harassment & assault in the workplace. Her research has been published in the Journal of Organizational Behavior, Leadership Quarterly, Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, Human Resource Management Review, Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, and Computers in Human Behavior, among others.

Outside of her current academic role, she has served in numerous positions guiding, conducting, and implementing research-driven interventions, including as a project manager on grants and contracts funded through the National Science Foundation and a US defense contractor; as a research consultant for two state-level governmental agencies; and as an affiliate research partner on organizational and leadership development projects in the energy and technology sectors.
