Reviews of the First Edition (2007)
This book meets the pressing need for a comprehensive review of an area that is both personally and societally important. It ranges widely and helpfully across key issues of organizational practice and public policy.
--Peter Warr Institute of Work Psychology, University of Sheffield “An important volume! Shultz, Adams, and their many expert contributors provide a comprehensive review of the issues at the interface of aging and employment. The work is broadly conceived and highly integrative (chapters range in focus from the demography of aging at work, to issues of diversity, discrimination, and career patterns; to concerns about job attitudes and performance, occupational health, technology, training, and retirement). Taken as a whole, the work provides important insights into the experience of aging in the workplace, and into the challenges faced by organizations as they struggle to adapt to a changing workforce. This book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, management professionals, and policy-makers.” --Robert O. Hansson McFarlin Professor of Psychology, University of Tulsa |
