Resumen
Empleados mayores
Área de la Ciencia:
- Psicología
- Comportamiento Organizacional
- Sociología
Sus antecedentes:
- La fuerza laboral global está envejeciendo, lo que requiere un enfoque en la dedicación al trabajo de los empleados mayores.
- Comprender los impulsores psicológicos del compromiso en las últimas etapas de la carrera es crucial para las organizaciones.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Investigar cómo la generatividad influye en la dedicación al trabajo de los empleados mayores.
- Examinar el papel mediador del compromiso organizacional.
- Explorar el efecto moderador de la confianza (cognitiva y afectiva) en esta relación.
Principales métodos:
- Se realizó un estudio longitudinal de tres oleadas con 489 empleados mayores en el este de China.
- Los análisis estadísticos incluyeron EFA, CFA, correlación y pruebas de mediación Bootstrap.
Principales resultados:
- La generatividad impacta positivamente la dedicación al trabajo (β=1.06, p<0.01).
- El compromiso organizacional media esta relación (generatividad a compromiso: β=0.99, p<0.01; compromiso a dedicación: β=0.61, p<0.01).
- La confianza cognitiva y afectiva modera el vínculo entre la generatividad y el compromiso organizacional (β=0.15, p<0.01 y β=0.18, p<0.01, respectivamente).
Conclusiones:
- La generatividad sirve como un puente psicológico para la perspectiva de tiempo futuro y la dedicación al trabajo de los empleados mayores, extendiendo la teoría de la selectividad socioemocional.
- Las organizaciones pueden fomentar lugares de trabajo inclusivos para la edad implementando prácticas de fomento de la confianza para mejorar la motivación de los trabajadores mayores.

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 are...
Humanistic Psychology
Humanistic psychology emerged in the mid-20th century as a response to the deterministic and pessimistic nature of behaviorism and psychoanalysis. While behaviorism focused on observable behaviors influenced by the environment and psychoanalysis delved into unconscious motivations, both theories suggested that human actions lacked free will. In contrast, humanistic psychology offers a perspective that emphasizes the innate potential for goodness and growth within every individual.

Adler's Individual Psychology
Alfred Adler, a prominent figure in psychology, founded the school of individual psychology. In contrast to Freud's emphasis on sexual or aggressive motives, Adler suggested that individuals are primarily motivated by their purposes and goals. He believed that people strive for perfection rather than pleasure. Adler argued that individuals could creatively act upon their genetic inheritance and environmental experiences to shape their own lives, emphasizing conscious motivation over unconscious...
Emerging Adulthood
Jeffrey Arnett's concept of emerging adulthood offers a framework to understand the unique developmental stage between adolescence and full-fledged adulthood, generally from ages 18 to 25. This period is marked by extensive exploration and shifts in identity, relationships, and career choices, a process known in psychology as role experimentation. Emerging adulthood reflects the evolving cultural expectations surrounding adulthood and the dynamic process of personal transformation during this...
Erikson's Theory on Socioemotional Development during Adulthood
Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development outlines a series of stages through which individuals progress across the lifespan. Each stage involves a psychosocial conflict that significantly influences personal growth and well-being. Three key stages — intimacy versus isolation, generativity versus stagnation, and integrity versus despair — highlight the developmental challenges faced in adulthood.

Impact of Social Context on Individuals
Social psychology examines how the real or imagined presence of others influences individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. A key concept in this field is the role of social context in shaping behavior. The same individual may act differently depending on the social setting, due to the varying expectations and norms associated with each environment. This context-dependent behavior illustrates the influence of social roles, which prescribe appropriate conduct in specific situations.Social...
