A New Frontier: The Dark Side of the Entrepreneurial Economy

In the latest episode of The Science of Personality, Ryne and Blake are joined by Peter Harms, PhD, professor of management at the University of Alabama’s Culverhouse College of Business, to talk about the likely convergence of two societal trends. The first trend is that the global workforce is increasingly shifting to an entrepreneurial economy with more independence and autonomy. The second is the increase in mental health issues and personality disorders. The outcome of this convergence is currently unknown, but a recent paper authored by Peter and his colleagues offers a deeper look at what this might look like, which we discuss in this episode.

Personality affects the way we relate to the world and the people in it, how we work, who we love, and how other people see us. Although the study of personality is centuries old, our ability to understand and control such a complex and abstract concept is relatively new in the context of history. Featuring some of the world’s leading experts in personality psychology and business, this podcast explores the impact of personality on life, leadership, and organizational success.
