Design/methodology/approach Survey data were obtained from 352 workers aged 50‐59.

This paper summarizes the state of affairs European research on ageing and work. After a close inspection age construct, an overview is presented in four areas: relationship between HR-policies, early retirement, performance/employability, health/well-being. The results agenda work recommendations for practice.
Despite the prevalence of ageism in workplace, little empirical effort has been devoted to analysing contextual factors that may help reduce it. Building upon research on intergroup contact and multiculturalism, we examine two studies how intergenerational organizational multi-age perspective contribute toward mitigating improving work attitudes through a dual identity process. In Study 1, SEM analyses confirm workers' is key mediator effects context both at work. 2 replicates extends...

Precisely, little attention has been given to direction of causality these two constructs as why common antecedents outcomes. This research was designed fill gaps. Using a cross-lagged panel design with measurement times, Study 1 examined directionality relationship OI AC, showed that...

Some models of working memory are often used as a theoretical framework for empirical studies. We present french version the Reading Span Test (RST) that Daneman and Carpenter (1980) proposed measure involved in language use. The meets following criteria : (a) procedure is essentially same one originally by ; (b) length sentences controlled, ranging from 22 to 26 syllables (c) length, frequency mental imagery value ending words be memorised also controlled (d) distribution these throughout...
Abstract This study investigated the role of intergroup processes in older workers' attitudes towards work and early exit from workplace. Specifically, relationships between four variables (cognitive affective identification with workers as a group, permeability retirees' group boundaries, younger boundaries) derived Social Identity Theory (Tajfel & Turner, Citation1979) (early intention, organizational commitment, psychological disengagement, competition workers) were examined using sample...
Purpose In the context of workforce aging, purpose this paper is to investigate mediating role occupational future time perspective (OFTP) in relationship between work–family enrichment (WF-E) and two well-being outcomes (i.e. work engagement emotional exhaustion). addition, moderating age on WF-E OFTP, consequently, indirect effects exhaustion through will be examined. Design/methodology/approach Cross-sectional survey research ( n =263) was conducted a public sector company Belgium....
In order to increase the activity rate of older workers, Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recommends that national governments implement policies promoting employment this category workers. However, favour minority groups have been shown produce detrimental effects such as devaluing members these groups. two studies, we examined whether age-related preferential treatment reinforces ageist attitudes in workplace. A first study revealed favouring 50 years old...
The combination of work and family obligations can lead to two-way interference, resulting in Family Care Interference with Work (FCIW) (WIFC). Both impact late career motivation intentions continue working or retire reduce their occupational time perspective (OFTP). Through two studies, this paper shows how OFTP mediates the relationship between FCIW/WIFC mid indicators such as early retirement beyond age. Our findings contribute increasing knowledge caregiving may carers stages.
Abstract Competence and warmth are two fundamental stereotypical dimensions that frame people's social judgments. Since we currently lack evidence about how the volunteering workforce is socially perceived, this study aims to (a) understand which stereotypes associated with volunteers, (b) determine whether these perceptions vary as a result of contextual changes (i.e., professionalization) have recently characterized nonprofit organizations (NPOs). Two empirical survey‐based studies were...
Abstract The present research aims to examine the role played by perceived similarities between workgroup and organization in relationships identification, organizational affective commitment. Using two different samples, we found that when were high, identification was more strongly related this relationship carried over These results obtained with both a global measure of (Study 1) narrow operationalizing terms value congruence 2), confirming generalizability our results.
This study aims at acquiring knowledge on how to manage ethnic diversity work in order promote work-outcomes minority and majority groups of workers. We tested a model assimilation multiculturalism, endorsed an organizational level, predict job satisfaction intention quit through mediation role played by the identification workers with both organization their group simultaneously (i.e., dual identity). hypothesized that indirect effects multiculturalism outcomes via identity are stronger for...
Reading span was assessed in three conditions aiming at varying the processing demands of a reading task. In Sentence Condition, participants read aloud lists sentences and memorize final word each sentence as original task Daneman Carpenter. two other conditions, replaced either by series unrelated words (Word Condition) or meaningless syllables (Syllable Condition); these however, ended with same test Condition. There no significant effect condition on scores for span. It is concluded that...
