With the aging of the global workforce, it is crucial to deepen our understanding of how to keep older workers healthy, motivated, and productive. In this research, we integrate job design with socioemotional selectivity theory to propose that social job characteristics relate to employee performance differently for older and younger workers. Specifically, in a 3-wave survey (N = 454), we tested employee age as...
This study aims to identify the determinants of burnout in police officers. We considered a wide range of psychosocial risk factors, individual variables that have been previously found to be associated with burnout in police officers (affective and cognitive empathy, self-care), and variables whose unique impact on burnout of police officers needs further clarification (organizational justice and organizationa...
Aging populations pose a persistent challenge to the sustainability of public pension systems. To tackle these financial pressures, many countries strengthen the incentives to work by increasing the statutory retirement age and reducing early retirement benefits. These policy reforms make retirement a topic of utmost importance for individuals, organizations, and societies. Although retirement predictors are al...
Os tempos de grande incerteza e complexidade desencadeados pela pandemia de COVID-19 continuam a representar um enorme desafio para a sociedade, as organizações e os indivíduos. Em particular, a necessidade de uma rápida adaptação do trabalho às limitações impostas pelo confinamento contribuiu para a adoção massiva do teletrabalho, que se tornou, posteriormente, um regime de trabalho mais prevalente na União Eu...
Purpose. The aging of the population is changing the composition of the workforce in most developed countries. With increasingly older and age-diverse workforces, organizations need to redesign jobs to keep their workers healthy, happy, and productive across the lifespan. In the current research we integrate socioemotional selectivity theory and selection, optimization, and compensation theory with job design t...

In recent years, work-related stress has grown exponentially and the negative impact that this condition has on people’s health is considerable. The effects of work-related stress can be distinguished in those that affect workers (e.g., depression and anxiety) and those that affect the company (e.g., absenteeism and productivity). It is possible to distinguish two types of prevention interventions. Individual i...
An aging population and an increasingly age-diverse workforce exemplify the complex challenge that age represents for most managers today. For that reason, research has shown the importance of designing and implementing human resources (HR) practices that meet age-related differences in workers’ motives and needs. Drawing on signaling and social exchange theories, the current study investigated a first stage mo...
