年龄刻板印象威胁对年长员工工作投入的影响:一个有调节的中介模型

The Impact of Age-based Stereotype Threat on Older Workers’Work Engagement:A Moderated Mediation Model

现如今无论是发达国家还是发展中国家,年长员工在劳动人口中的比例不断上升。在这样的背景下,如何管理和激励年长员工,引起了学术界与企业界的重视。本文基于资源保存理论与认同理论,以国内某连锁企业45岁及以上年长员工为调查对象,对184份有效问卷进行分析,结果表明:(1)年长员工年龄刻板印象威胁会负向影响工作投入。(2)年长员工年龄刻板印象威胁显著正向影响年老身份认同。(3)年长员工年老身份认同在年龄刻板印象威胁与年长员工工作投入中存在中介作用。(4)学习目标导向减弱年龄刻板印象威胁对年老身份认同的正向影响。(5)学习目标导向减弱年老身份认同在年龄刻板印象威胁与工作投入之间所起的中介作用。

The proportion of older workers in the workforce is rising in both developed and developing countries.In this context,how to manage and motivate older workers has attracted a lot of attention.Based on the resource conservation theory and identity theory,this study takes the older workers aged 45 years old and above in a domestic chain enterprise as the research samples,and analyses the data of 184 valid questionnaires.The results show that age-based stereotype threat is negatively related to the work engagement of the older workers;age-based stereotype threat is positively related to the elderly identity of older workers;elderly identity plays a mediating role between age-based stereotype threat and work engagement of older workers;learning goal orientation attenuates the positive relationship between age-based stereotype threat and elderly identity;learning goal orientation attenuates the mediating effect of elderly identity in the relationship between age-based stereotype threat and work engagement.
