 Her şeyin çok hızlı değiştiği günümüz dünyasında insanların düşünce, tutum ve davranışları da bu hıza ayak uydurmaktadır. Başta kişiselözel konularda olmak üzere, eğitim hayatında, iş hayatında, sosyal yaşamda, siyasi alandaki düşünceler ve kararlar; yakın çevrenin ve özellikle kitle iletişim araçlarının da etkisiyle sürekli güncellenebilmektedir. Kişilerin, daha iyi bir yaşam ortamı oluşturulması beklentisiyle üzerinde hassasiyetle durdukları siyasi tercihleri de çevresel etkilere bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan etkileşimden nasibini almaktadır. Bu etkilenme veya değişim, çeşitli iş ve sosyal gruplarda farklı boyutlarda kendini gösterebilmektedir. Etkilenmenin hangi unsurlardan ve ne boyutta olduğu önem arz eden bir konudur. Siyasal iletişim çalışmaları için medyanın etkili bir alan oluşturması ise siyasilerin ilgisinin onun üzerinde olmasını beraberinde getirmektedir. Medya bireyin oy verme kararının oluşmasında etkili bir pozisyonda yer alabilmektedir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, orta ve büyük ölçekli işletmelerde çalışan işçilerin oy kullanma davranışlarında medya ve dış faktörlerin rolünün ne ölçüde olduğunu saptamaya çalışmaktır. Anket tekniğiyle işçilerin görüşlerinin toplandığı çalışmaya göre; medyanın ve kamuoyu araştırmalarının işçilerin siyasi tercihlerinde rol oynadığı, buna karşın ailenin siyasal tercihinin işçilerin oy kullanma davranışlarında pek etkili olmadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca, araştırmada, işçilerin oy verme davranışı üzerinde adayın kendisi ve adayın partisinin etkili olduğu ortaya çıkmış, araştırmaya katılan erkeklerin, kadınlara oranla oy kullanırken adayın seçimi kazanma ihtimalini daha fazla göz önünde bulundurdukları anlaşılmıştır.
