Biography
Morgan works at the intersection of social, cultural, and organisational psychologies, and aims to understand how complex social phenomena manifest. He has previously worked in the areas of media effects on social behaviour (PhD), and mental health and identity. His current research interests include the role of organisational identities in promoting citizenship behaviour, the role of power in safety culture and safety behaviours, how behavioural insights can be applied to safety culture, and the effectiveness of nudges in social contexts.
Morgan’s work relies on rich relationships with industry partners. He has worked with a number of organisations and partners, including Queensland Police Service (QPS), National ICT Australia (NICTA; now CSIRO’s Data61 group), EUROCONTROL, OECD Network of Economic Regulators, WorkSafe Victoria, and The Shannon Company.
Morgan has experience in university course delivery, supervising graduate researchers, designing and analysing mixed methods approaches, facilitating workshop and focus group discussion. He strongly believes that quantitative data are the start of a conversation and the meaning of those data must be derived through discussion and consultation in context.
