Mid and Late Career Issues: An Integrative Perspective de Mo Wang

Mid and Late Career Issues: An Integrative Perspective: Applied Psychology Series

Autor Mo Wang, Deborah A. Olson, Kenneth S Shultz
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 dec 2019
This new book looks at the unique career issues faced by those workers in their mid and late career stages, particularly with regard to the psychosocial dynamics of mid and late careers. With the growth in aging workers worldwide, we need a deeper understanding of the unique challenges and issues as well as the practical implications related to the shifting demographics to an older workforce, particularly the aging of the baby boom generation. This book reviews, summarizes and integrates the literature on a wide variety of issues and organizational realities related to these workers. Numerous case studies based on one-on-one interviews with older workers and recent retirees provides illustrative examples of the key concepts discussed in each chapter. Students, researchers, and professionals in industrial organizational psychology, human resource management, developmental psychology, vocational psychology and gerontology will find this authoritative book of interest.

Recenzii

“There are many reasons why a text regarding mid and late career issues would be welcome in the context of today’s job market climate in Western countries. . . . The authors set out to ‘review, summarize, and integrate the extant literature’ in the field. They have accomplished this challenge in a structured, well-organized work with substantial implications for the real world. . . . This volume, a welcome recent addition to Routledge’s Series in Applied Psychology, targets a readership in a broad spectrum of academic and applied professionals.”—From Personnel Psychology
“This is just what we need – an integration of research into the aging workforce with career theories and practices. The emphasis on mid-career talents can help both individuals and organizations.” -Peter Warr, Emeritus Professor, Institute of Work Psychology, University of Sheffield

"The aging workforce is a topic of great societal importance, with increasing numbers of people deciding to work longer. This book, written by leaders in this field, should provide valuable insights to a large number of readers. It’s a "must read" for students, researchers, organizational practitioners, and policymakers alike." -Donald M. Truxillo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Portland State University, USA
"Researchers and practitioners often pay more attention to early career decisions and development than to mid and late career. This book corrects this problem by providing an in-depth examination of these critical areas of the career trajectory. The book examines central issues around continuous learning, mid-career change (including accompanying crises and angst), mentoring and being mentored, and preparation for late career and late-in-life conundrums. Human resource practitioners and students will gain a better understanding of interventions that can increase mid and late career employees' performance and engagement and preparation for retirement." -Manuel London, Ph.D., State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA
"With the aging of the workforce unfolding in Western Countries,  this book provides  a welcome, unique and  comprehensive overview of emerging theoretical and empirical issues in the mid and late career. This book is of eminent importance for all who are interested in the aging work force,  and  will  serve an international readership from scholars to  practitioners from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds." - Kène Henkens, Professor of Sociology of Retirement, Tilburg University, also  Head of the Social demography Department , Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI)
