在大多数工业化国家，劳动力正在老龄化，人们工作的时间更长，进入劳动力市场的年轻工人越来越少。这些趋势可以归因于许多因素：寿命延长和随后退休年龄的提高；低出生率；青年失业率居高不下，尤其是在欧洲。这些趋势导致了与年龄相关的各种工作场所挑战的发展，例如越来越多的老年人和年轻人一起工作，组织需要找到方法来激励和适应员工的工作和生活，以及新形式的退休，如桥梁就业的出现。这些变化对个人、雇主、政府和社会都有许多影响，它们已经成为经济学、人口学和人体工程学等许多学科研究的焦点。最近，与年龄相关的研究在工作和组织心理学领域的数量也有所增加，导致了一些书籍，杂志特别问题和会议。具体来说，年龄已经从工作和组织心理学研究中的统计控制变量转变为研究的中心焦点。这期特刊最初是从EAWOP关于工作场所年龄的小组会议发展起来的，从那里扩展到公开征集期刊文章。电话会议的结果远远超出了我们的预期，有50多份正式提交。我们这篇社论的目的是介绍本期特刊中的文章，将它们置于工作场所老龄化领域的背景下，并对当前的研究前景进行“鸟瞰”。本期特刊的文章展示了世界各地的工作与组织心理学家对年龄进行的多样性研究，以及工作与组织心理学如何帮助应对老龄化和年龄多样化的劳动力挑战。实足年龄的解释变量
The workforce is ageing in most industrialized countries, with people working longer and fewer younger workers entering the workforce. These trends can be attributed to a number of factors: increased lifespans and subsequent increases in the retirement age; lower birth rates; and high levels of youth unemployment, particularly in Europe. These trends have resulted in the development of a broad range of workplace challenges associated with age, such as larger numbers of older and younger people working together, organizations needing to find ways to motivate and accommodate workers across the work-life span, and the emergence of new forms of retirement such as bridge employment. These changes have many implications for individuals, employers, governments, and societies, and they have become a focus of study in a number of academic disciplines such as economics, demography, and ergonomics. Recently, the number of age-related studies in the field of work and organizational psychology has also increased, resulting in several books, journal Special Issues, and conferences. Specifically, age has moved from being a statistical control variable in work and organizational psychology research to a central focus of study. The development of this Special Issue originally grew from an EAWOP small group meeting on age in the workplace, expanding from there to an open call for journal articles. The results of the call were far beyond our expectations, with well over 50 formal submissions. Our goal in this editorial is to introduce the articles in this Special Issue, contextualizing them within the field of workplace ageing and giving a “bird’s eye” view of the current research landscape. The articles in this Special Issue show the diversity of research that work and organizational (W/O) psychologists around the world are conducting on age and the ways in which W/O psychology can help address the challenges of an ageing and age-diverse workforce.
