Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Factors Affecting Workability

Factors Affecting Workability

The workability of concrete is a critical characteristic that influences the ease of mixing, handling, and finishing the concrete. It is affected by several factors including water content, aggregate properties, and admixtures like air entrainment. Water plays a fundamental role as it lubricates the concrete mix, facilitating easier movement and placement. However, the water requirement varies depending on the texture and shape of aggregates. Finer particles and angular, rough-textured...

Area of Science:

Organizational Psychology
Gerontology
Human Resource Management

Background:

The workforce is consistently aging, making organizational culture's age-friendliness crucial for older worker inclusion.
Existing measures may not comprehensively capture the multifaceted nature of workplace age-friendliness.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a novel, comprehensive, and theoretically driven measure of workplace age-friendliness.
To provide a robust instrument for assessing how organizational culture supports an aging workforce.

Main Methods:

Conducted three multiphased, multisourced studies.
Included a qualitative assessment procedure.
Utilized two quantitative field surveys focusing on individual perceptions.

Main Results:

Developed a 24-item scale for workplace age-friendliness.
Identified four key dimensions: age-friendly core culture, development, wellness, and flexibility.
Confirmatory factor analysis supported a four-factor structure with acceptable internal consistency and preliminary construct validity.

Conclusions:

The developed scale offers a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners in the field of aging and work.
This measure can facilitate empirical studies on workplace age-friendliness.
Further discussion addresses implications and limitations for future research and practice.
