まとめ
高齢従業員
科学分野:
- 心理学;組織行動学;社会学
背景:
- 世界の労働力は高齢化しており、高齢従業員の仕事への献身に焦点を当てる必要がある。キャリア終盤におけるコミットメントの心理的推進要因を理解することは、組織にとって重要である。
研究 の 目的:
- 高齢従業員の仕事への献身に対する世代性(generativity)の影響を調査する。組織コミットメントの媒介的役割を検討する。この関係に対する信頼(認知的および情動的)の調整効果を探る。
主な方法:
- 中国東部の高齢従業員489名を対象に、3回の縦断調査を実施した。統計分析には、探索的因子分析、確認的因子分析、相関、およびブートストラップ媒介分析が含まれた。
主要な成果:
- 世代性(generativity)は仕事への献身に正の影響を与えた(β=1.06、p<0.01)。組織コミットメントはこの関係を媒介した(世代性からコミットメントへ:β=0.99、p<0.01;コミットメントから献身へ:β=0.61、p<0.01)。認知的および情動的信頼は、世代性と組織コミットメントの関係を調整した(それぞれβ=0.15、p<0.01およびβ=0.18、p<0.01)。
結論:
- 世代性(generativity)は、高齢従業員の将来の時間展望と仕事への献身のための心理的橋渡しとして機能し、社会情動的選択性理論を拡張する。組織は、信頼構築の実践を実施することにより、年配労働者のモチベーションを高め、年齢に配慮した職場環境を育成することができる。

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

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

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...
