About

Mindy Bergman is a Professor and Department Head in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at Texas A&M University. She is an APA and SIOP Fellow with research interests that focus on diversity science and industrial/organizational psychology. Her research primarily investigates occupational health psychology and organizational commitment, with particular attention to how organizational climate affects workplace behaviors and individual well-being. Within her diversity research, she examines why people from underrepresented, minority, or lower power demographic groups are mistreated more often than the majority, and her work has influenced university service related to diversity and inclusion, especially within undergraduate programs. In the safety domain, Bergman collaborates with Stephanie Payne to study factors influencing safety climate and its relationship with unsafe workplace events. Her work also explores issues related to stigma, organizational climate, and well-being. She has contributed to understanding the effects of organizational structures on harassment, gender inequity in STEM, and race-related issues such as police shootings in the United States. Bergman’s research aims to inform practices that promote safety, equity, and well-being in organizational settings.
