Aging, Adult Development, and Work Motivation
构建了一个理解成人发展中的年龄相关变化如何影响工作动机的框架,基于生命周期理论,识别出四种个体内变化轨迹,并讨论了该框架对不同岗位中年和老年员工激励策略的启示。
We describe a framework for understanding how age-related changes in adult development affect work motivation, and, building on recent life-span theories and research on cognitive abilities, personality, affect, vocational interests, values, and self-concept, identify four intraindividual change trajectories (loss, gain, reorganization, and exchange). We discuss implications of the integrative framework for the use and effectiveness of different motivational strategies with midlife and older workers in a variety of jobs, as well as abiding issues and future research directions.
