Retaining older workers requires focusing on work design and management, not age-free models. Future research should prioritize contextual studies and workplace interventions for healthier, productive aging in the workforce.

Area of Science:

  • Work and organizational psychology
  • Gerontology
  • Human resource management

Background:

  • The aging workforce presents challenges for health and productivity.
  • Current work design and management strategies often overlook age-specific needs.
  • This is an under-researched area within work and organizational psychology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the critical role of work design and management in retaining older workers.
  • To propose a future research agenda for age-inclusive work environments.
  • To address the need for lifespan-oriented approaches in occupational psychology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing evidence on work design and aging.
  • Analysis of methodological challenges in age-related workplace research.

  • Consideration of theoretical and empirical grounds for age-inclusive management.

    • Main Results:

    • "Age-free" models are insufficient for managing an aging workforce.
    • Contextual research and workplace interventions are more effective than broad epidemiological models.
    • Lifespan models of work design are crucial for worker health and productivity.

    Conclusions:

    • Future research must develop lifespan models for work design and management.
    • Emphasis should shift towards contextual research and evaluated workplace interventions.
    • Adopting age-inclusive strategies is essential for a healthy and productive older workforce.
