Media & the Workplace: How What We Watch Shapes Our Work Environments

This presentation will detail media and TV's influence on our career decisions, workplace environments, and leadership.
About this Event

At the end of October, I submitted my 10,000-word dissertation, the final requirement for my MSc in Organizational Psychology. I investigated the role that food entertainment media (Food Network, Hell's Kitchen, Top Chef, Chopped, The Bear, etc.) plays in the career decisions of culinary professionals in haute cuisine. What I found is that food media has both direct and indirect influences on career choice driven by the pursuit of belonging and feeling capable.

But I found much more regarding the attraction to extreme, abusive and psychologically violent workplace environments or toxic workplaces.

AND HOW THOSE WORKPLACES INDOCTRINATE INDIVIDUALS INTO THEIR CULTURE.

In this presentation, I will share my findings and offer strategies for workplaces to improve their culture and create safer working environments overall.

So if you're a manager, a business owner, have any influence in the workplace at all (that's everyone!) or are just into dope scientific findings, this is for you!
