This project aims to track the trajectories of older workers’ psychological contracts that shape their give-and-take with the organisation. Little is understood about how these psychological contracts change as older workers continue to pursue work through their fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth decades of life. This project tracks older workers over intensive, repeated in-depth interviews and a large-scale longitudinal panel study. The outcomes fill significant gaps in our understanding of older workers’ needs and orientation toward work, and identify the age-related changes and organisational practices that spur older workers to sustain a strong trajectory of productive participation in the workforce.

该项目旨在追踪老年员工心理契约的轨迹，这些契约塑造了他们与组织的妥协。对于这些心理契约是如何随着年龄较大的员工在他们生命的第五、六、七、八十年中继续追求工作而发生变化的，我们知之甚少。该项目通过密集、重复的深度访谈和大规模的纵向小组研究来跟踪老年员工。研究结果填补了我们对老年员工需求和工作取向的理解上的重大空白，并确定了与年龄相关的变化和组织实践，这些变化和实践激励老年员工保持高效参与劳动力市场的强劲轨迹。
