Journal of Organizational Behavior Special Issue Call for Papers: 'Contemporary Empirical Advancements in the Study of Aging in the Workplace'

摘要

Among organizational researchers, there has been a recent trend toward the development of contemporary theoretical perspectives on issues relating to aging in the workplace. Driving this push toward new theories of aging in the workplace are issues such as the aging population of baby boomers, a predicted decrease in the available labor pool, and projected future economic conditions that are expected to place new pressures on older individuals to remain in the workforce for longer periods of time. These issues have broad implications for the study of organizational behavior, particularly when considering the consequences of demographic trends in the workplace, income discrepancies, the diversity of the aging workforce, the issue of age bias in the workplace, job performance, work-related attitudes, training and development, career issues of older workers, topics of age and occupational health, technology, work and family issues, and retirement considerations. In recognition of the development of such contemporary theoretical perspectives related to these issues, the Journal of Organizational Behavior is pleased to announce a Special Issue on Contemporary Empirical Investigations on Aging in the Workplace.
