The edited volume Age and Work: Advances in Theory, Methods, and
Practice presents a systematic collection of key advances in
theory, methods, and practice regarding age(ing) and work. This
cutting-edge collection breaks new ground by developing novel and
useful theory, explaining underutilized but important
methodological approaches, and suggesting original practical
applications of emerging research topics. The book begins with a
prologue by the World Health Organization's unit head for aging and
health, an introduction on the topic by the editors, and an
overview of past, current, and future workforce age trends.
Subsequently, the first main section outlines theoretical advances
regarding alternative age constructs (e.g., subjective age),
intersectionality of age with gender and social class, paradoxical
age-related actions, generational identity, and integration of
lifespan theories. The second section presents methodological
advances regarding behavioral assessment, age at the team and
organizational levels, longitudinal and diary methods, experiments
and interventions, qualitative methods, and the use of archival
data. The third section covers practical advances regarding age and
job crafting, knowledge exchange, the work/nonwork interface,
healthy aging, and absenteeism and presenteeism, and organizational
meta-strategies for younger and older workers. The book concludes
with an epilogue by an eminent scholar in age and work. Written in
a scientific yet accessible manner, the book offers a valuable
resource for undergraduate and graduate students, academics in the
fields of psychology and business, as well as practitioners working
in the areas of human resource management and organizational
development.
