Healthy work for older workers: work design and management factors
Healthy work for older workers: work design and management factors
This chapter focuses on work design and management factors, in particular on the relationships between work performance and age, between work-related stress and age, and between work-related health and age. It also explores what is needed to be done in order to harness potential, and protect the health of older workers. While many interpret a desire to keep workers working for longer as concerning those ages over sixty or sixty-five, there remains considerable scope for encouraging a substantial proportion of workers who retire at fifty or fifty-five to remain in the labour force. This may be achieved by improving and making work more attractive and a less stressful experience for older workers.
Keywords: work design, management factors, work performance, age, harness the potential, protect the health, older workers
