the Politics of Image in the Workplace


I found interesting to look at the politics of image into the workplace. We all know that into the workplace we must be professional and respectful towards different kinds of social norms. Nevertheless, what about the image of ourselves? Do we have to behave and adapt our personality in accordance to the place we work? the answer is probably yes but all cases are different.

Here are a few links where we can see that various websites and forums are actually aware of this culture of the "professional image" at work. It is all about  creating a "positive professional image":

Those three shorts articles are examples among a very rich range of different writings on the subject. It shows how important it is for people and how they're aware that their personal image can affect their career. 

Another thing about the image in the workplace is the gender distinction. I found this article where there are numerous tips for women to adapt and enhance their image at work. Does a woman have to take care of more her image than a man?

In this other article, the author is even wondering if performance still mater at work at the expense of image.
