Produktbeschreibung

Work Across the Lifespan coalesces theoretical and empirical perspectives on aging and work. This volume examines a collection of human development theories that explain trajectories of change, including patterns of growth, maintenance, and decline across the adult lifespan. At its core, the lifespan perspective assumes a focus on aging as a continuous process of intraindividual change and goal-based self-regulation. In this text, the lifespan perspective serves as a lens for examining the complex relationship between aging and work. Integrating research from the fields of developmental psychology as well as industrial, work, and organizational psychology, this authoritative reference brings together the collective thinking of researchers who study work, careers, organizations, and aging.

• Summarizes key tenets of lifespan theories
• Applies lifespan theories to work, organizational life, and careers
• Examines age and work-related processes
• Provides an comprehensive lifespan perspective on work and aging
• Focuses on aging as a continuous intraindividual change process

Rezensionen

"Work Across the Lifespan brings together the best psychological scholarship on the theoretical and practical linkage between age, work, careers and organizations. This book will be an asset for all who have an interest in demographic change and the workplace." --Kène Henkens, Ph.D. Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI-KNAW)), University of Amsterdam

"Work Across the Lifespan explores the impact of aging across work, careers and organizations. It uses the concept of lifespan development to understand the issues surrounding the workplace. This is truly an innovative and creative approach to understanding aging in the context of work. It is a must read for anybody interested in the lifespan concept as it applies to the workplace." --Professor Sir Cary Cooper, CBE, Organizational Psychology and Health, ALLIANCE Manchester Business School

"This work is comprehensive in scope while at the same time coherently anchored in lifespan theory. Authored by an impressive collection of leading experts, each and every chapter provides insights that promise to advance the field." --Gary A. Adams, Ph.D., Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI

"I am grateful to Baltes, Rudolph, and Zacher for bringing together the viewpoints of top scholars and gifting us this comprehensive resource for research on work from a lifespan perspective. I believe this will bring to light that while not all workers age the same and certainly not all people from a generation are the same, we have knowledge and tools, through a lifespan perspective, to help us enhance the satisfaction, productivity, and well-being of our aging and age-diverse workforce." --Lisa M. Finkelstein, Ph.D., Northern Illinois University
