Jin Lee

Jin Lee, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Kansas State University. He serves as the director of the Lee Lab, focusing on workplace safety, health, and well-being. His research spans safety climate management in high-risk industries, temporary worker risk perception, macroergonomics, Total Worker Health™, and machine learning applications in I/O psychology. He leads projects on safety interventions using socio-technical systems approaches and has published extensively in occupational safety and health domains.

Dr. Lee's academic background includes a Ph.D. in Industrial-Organizational Psychology, though specific educational details are not explicitly listed. His lab collaborates with graduate students in the I/O psychology program, emphasizing skills in data analysis, grant writing, and publication. Research opportunities involve ergonomics, pandemic safety climate, and machine learning for personnel selection.

His recent studies address work-from-home ergonomics, pandemic-era safety, first responder well-being, and temporary worker risk-benefit perceptions. These projects highlight interdisciplinary approaches, integrating quantitative methods and predictive modeling. The lab also explores global occupational safety through socio-cultural frameworks and Bayesian network analyses.

While no formal awards are listed, Dr. Lee’s contributions to safety climate interventions and risk management are evident through his leadership as a principal investigator on multiple funded projects. His work bridges theoretical and applied domains, preparing students for careers in occupational safety research and practice.
