Employer involvement in eldercare: an organizational adaptation perspective
1Washington State University, Vancouver, USA.
Abstract:
Social and demographic changes represent an important environmental challenge to organizations. Recent demographic changes in the United States have increased the potential importance of "eldercare" benefits in the workplace. In this research, I elaborate a number of important organizational and environmental determinants that influence the recognition and interpretation of eldercare issues and relate these considerations to the level of employer involvement in the care of elderly dependents, or eldercare.
