Women in Medicine and Science Group explore generational work ethics Dec. 2

The Wayne State University School of Medicine Women in Medicine and Science Group invites all members of the school community to attend “Generational Differences in Work Ethics” on Dec. 2.

The seminar will feature Boris Baltes, M.B.A., Ph.D., associate provost for Faculty Affairs and professor of Psychology at Wayne State University. He will explore the issues of whether the generational cohort you are born into affects your work habits, the stereotype that older generational cohorts exhibit higher levels of work ethics than younger generations and the implications of generational differences on future generations entering the workforce.

Dr. Baltes, former chair of the WSU Department of Psychology, researches biases in performance appraisal, age and workplace issues, and work family conflict/balance. His work, including more than 70 publications and chapters, has appeared in many publications, including the Journal of Applied Psychology, Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Journal of Management and the Journal of Organizational Behavior, the latter for which he is a guest editor. He is a fellow of the Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology, a division of the American Psychological Association.

The event will take place from noon to 1 p.m. in Rooms 240-241 of the Mazurek Medical Education Commons. A light lunch will be served at 11:45 a.m.
