Stereotype threat, disengagement, and wellbeing among older employees

该项目旨在确定刻板印象威胁何时以及如何导致老年员工脱离工作，以及对他们的健康产生的影响。预期的结果包括更好地理解预测哪些人会在工作中经历不投入、不努力、工作满意度降低以及因贬低年龄相关刻板印象而辞职的可能性增加的因素。该项目的结果应该提供对刻板印象威胁的更清晰的理论理解，并可用于为提高工作参与度的策略提供信息。这个项目应该有利于并改善老年员工的工作生活。

This project aims to identify when and how stereotype threat leads to disengagement among older workers and consequences for their wellbeing. Expected outcomes include a better understanding of the factors that predict who will experience disengagement at work, withdrawal of effort, reduced job satisfaction, and increased likelihood of quitting as a result of demeaning age-related stereotypes. The project’s results should provide a clearer theoretical understanding of stereotype threat and can be used to inform strategies for enhancing engagement at work. This project should benefit and improve the working lives of older employees.
