Exigências mentais e prosperidade dos trabalhadores mais velhos: O papel da capacidade para o trabalho
Barra lateral de artigos
Conteúdo do artigo principal
Resumo
O envelhecimento da população ativa e as crescentes exigências mentais no trabalho representam um desafio para a sustentabilidade da vida profissional e para a competitividade das organizações. A investigação tem-se debruçado sobre a prosperidade no trabalho como um
proxy da sustentabilidade de carreira, particularmente na sua fase final. No entanto, pouco ainda se sabe sobre os mecanismos subjacentes às relações entre prosperidade e seus antecedentes. O objetivo deste estudo é examinar o papel mediador da capacidade para o trabalho na
relação entre as exigências mentais do trabalho e a prosperidade no grupo dos trabalhadores mais velhos. Uma amostra de 163 trabalhadores respondeu a um questionário on-line. Os resultados suportam a hipótese de mediação, mas o efeito direto das exigências mentais na prosperidade não foi significativo, o que enfatiza a importância da capacidade para o trabalho. As implicações teóricas e práticas são discutidas.
