    Summary

    This study examined age-related changes in the nervous-psychic work capacity of bank employees. While older workers reported better subjective well-being, their psychomotor performance showed age-related declines, especially under work loading.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Psychology
    • Human Factors Engineering

    Background:

    • Age-related changes can impact cognitive functions and work capacity.
    • Understanding these changes in specific occupational groups is crucial for workplace optimization.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To characterize age-related changes in the nervous-psychic work capacity of female bank employees.
    • To investigate the influence of work loading on these age-related changes.
    • To develop recommendations for optimizing the work environment for bank employees.

    Main Methods:

    • Subjective assessment of work strain and fatigue through inquiry.
    • Psychological assessment using the DAM test (activity, disposition, mood) and Eysenck's Neuroticism scale.
    • Objective measurement of psychomotor performance, including simple visual-motor reaction time and choice reaction time.

    Main Results:

    • Significant age-related changes were observed in subjective assessments of fatigue, disposition, and activity.
    • Age-related declines in psychomotor performance were exacerbated by work loading.
    • Employees aged 51-55 reported more favorable subjective assessments of fatigue, disposition, and activity, which did not align with their psychomotor performance changes.

    Conclusions:

    • Work loading significantly impacts age-related changes in psychomotor performance among bank employees.
    • Subjective well-being does not always correlate with objective psychomotor capacity in older age groups.
    • Prophylactic measures are necessary to optimize the work of bank female employees, considering both subjective and objective indicators of work capacity.
