Project description:

As the modern workplace is transforming and becoming increasingly age diverse—in particular, with the significant rise in the proportion of women and racial minorities—it is critical that research examines how organizations can ensure the sustainable integration of the aging workforce. Most of current research on age discrimination focuses on overt instances of discrimination and less is known about subtle experiences of discrimination, in particular their consequences for targets. Using an experience sampling methodology, the current project examines the effects of experiencing subtle discrimination for older workers’ job attitudes and workplace well-being.
