The Intersection of Work, Career, and Parenthood: A Qualitative Exploration of Fertility Intentions in the Italian Context
In recent decades, low birth rates, delayed parenthood, and a decline in the average number of children per couple have become prevalent issues, sparking growing scientific interest in understanding their causes. While cultural, social, and gender-related factors have been widely examined, work-related dimensions remain underexplored within work and organizational psychology. This qualitative study explores how individuals make sense of the inter…
No Matter the Distance? A Theoretical Framework of Age-Diverse Friendship Effects
Friendship is the most transformative form of high-quality intergroup contact, with the capacity to build solidarity, foster cooperation, and bridge divides. Age-diverse friendships, in particular, offer unique opportunities to connect people of different ages, yet their role in work and non-work settings requires further theorizing. We thus develop a theoretical framework of age-diverse friendship effects that explains how such effects extend be…
Aging as a teacher: Effects of organizational practices on career sustainability in the later career stages in Italian schools
Italy's aging population has raised concerns about sustaining careers, particularly in education, where teachers are among the oldest professional groups globally. Risks such as burnout, limited career progression, and increasing digitalization highlight the need to understand which organizational practices support teachers' late-career sustainability. Drawing on a sample of 800 Italian teachers aged 50 and above, we applied latent profile analys…
Development and validation of the short form of the Later Life Workplace Index: A study across 10 countries
This study aims to develop and validate a short form of the Later Life Workplace Index (LLWI). The LLWI measures organizational practices relevant to older workers’ ability, motivation, and opportunity to continue working in later life. It consists of nine domains comprising three to four conceptual indicators each. We applied a combined qualitative and quantitative strategy to reduce the original LLWI 80-item measure into a 29-item short form (L…
It's an e‐work life! An explorative study on the relationships between e‐work characteristics and well‐being
This study investigates how remote e‐working characteristics are related to employees' well‐being in Italy. We conducted a longitudinal study with two time points and a 1‐month time lag, involving a final sample of 223 employees. Controlling for the auto‐regressive effects of all the outcomes, our results revealed that experiencing work‐life balance during e‐working was negatively associated with emotional exhaustion and social isolation, while i…
LeverAge: A European network to leverage the multi-age workforce
Bringing together 150+ scholars and practitioners from 50+ countries, and funded by the European Commission, COST Action LeverAge (https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA22120/) is the first network-building project of its kind in the work and organizational psychology and human resource management (WOP/HRM) aspects of work and aging. Focused on the aging workforce, the Action aims to foster interdisciplinary and multinational scientific excellence and th…
Work Engagement: A meta-Analysis Using the Job Demands-Resources Model
Although the construct of work engagement has been extensively explored, a systematic meta-analysis based on a consistent categorization of engagement antecedents, outcomes, and well-being correlates is still lacking. The results of prior research reporting 533 correlations from 113 independent samples ( k = 94, n = 119,420) were coded using a meta-analytic approach. The effect size for development resources ( r = .45) and personal resources ( r …
An Exploration of the Potential of Machine Learning Tools for Media Analysis to Support Sense-Making Processes in Foresight
In view of the many discussions about uncertainty regarding the further development of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and its effects on the economy and society, we observed that the crisis led to an increased presence of individual researchers and experts making forward-looking statements on the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or stating trends in mass media publications. From a strategic foresight research perspective, there …
You’re Not Old as Long as You’re Learning: Ageism, Burnout, and Development Among Italian Teachers
The purpose of this study was to explore the buffering role of opportunities for professional development within the frame of the indirect relationship between workplace age discrimination (as a job demand) and job performance on a sample of N = 325 Italian teachers. Results of moderated mediation analysis indicated that emotional exhaustion mediates the relationship between workplace age discrimination and impaired job performance. Furthermore, …
Development and Initial Validation of the Safety Training Engagement Scale (STE-S)
Safety training promotes safety at work, in particular through the use of engaging methods. This study introduces a newly developed measure of individual engagement in safety training, and aims to analyze the psychometric proprieties of the scale. The safety training engagement scale (STE) consists of five items pertaining to the trainee’s dedication and absorption in a safety training session. Two studies are carried out to analyze the validity …
Workplace Bullying and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Symptomology: The Influence of Role Conflict and the Moderating Effects of Neuroticism and Managerial Competencies
Research has explored numerous consequences of workplace bullying, including a recent link to the exhibition of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomology. Role conflict as a workplace stressor may contribute to instances of bullying from a passive perspective, which may lead to PTSD symptomology in victims. What remains less explored is if role conflict has a direct relationship to PTSD symptomology and how personality traits such as neu…
An Analysis of the Multidimensional Structure of Job Crafting for Older Workers With a Managerial Role
Job crafting has often been conceptualized as a higher-order construct composed of 3 dimensions: seeking resources, seeking challenges, and reducing demands. However, recent advances in job crafting studies have questioned the composition of its multidimensional structure. Furthermore, job crafting has been widely studied in age-diverse samples of workers, but not properly studied among older workers. In this article, we investigate the multidime…
Safety Doesn’t Happen by Accident: A Longitudinal Investigation on the Antecedents of Safety Behavior
Research recognizes the shared perceptions of the priority attributed to safety in comparison to other organizational goals (i.e., safety climate) as a potential antecedent of safety behavior among construction workers. This type of climate can dismantle barriers to the promotion of effective strategies to mitigate workplace hazards. On the other hand, the current understanding of the underlying process that links the perception of a safety clima…
Unravelling Work Drive: A Comparison between Workaholism and Overcommitment
Workaholism and overcommitment are often used as interchangeable constructs describing an individual's over-involvement toward their own job. Employees with high levels in both constructs are characterized by an excessive effort and attachment to their job, with the incapability to detach from it and negative consequences in terms of poor health and job burnout. However, few studies have simultaneously measured both constructs, and their relation…
Improving Safety through Non-Technical Skills in Chemical Plants: The Validity of a Questionnaire for the Self-Assessment of Workers
This research is aimed at developing a questionnaire for the self-assessment of non-technical skills (NTS) leading to safety in the chemical sector and at analysing the properties of its scales in terms of construct validity. The research involved 269 Italian employees from three chemical plants of an international company, who occupied low−medium levels in the organizational hierarchy. Results showed a good level of validity and reliability of t…
