This article investigates the effect of an intervention on the workability of older adults (i.e., the competence, health, and other mental and physical characteristics that workers need to meet the demands of their jobs). We used data from health care workers ( N = 437) who participated in a "time and place management" (TPM) intervention. Although related to flexible work options that aim to give workers more choice and control over the time and place of their work, TPM is conceptually distinct in that it focuses on the processes and guidelines necessary to the successful management of choice and control rather than the options alone. We focused on how the TPM intervention moderated the relationship between age and workability over time, with a particular focus on variation by baseline workability. Our results indicated that the intervention can benefit older workers with low workability.
本文研究了一项干预措施对老年人工作能力（即工人为满足工作需求所需具备的能力、健康状况以及其他心理和身体特征）的影响。我们使用了参与“时间和地点管理”（TPM）干预措施的医护人员（N = 437）的数据。虽然TPM与旨在让工人对工作时间和地点有更多选择和控制权的灵活工作选项相关，但在概念上有所不同，因为它侧重于成功管理选择和控制所需的流程和指导方针，而不仅仅是这些选项本身。我们重点关注TPM干预措施如何随着时间的推移调节年龄与工作能力之间的关系，特别关注基线工作能力的差异。我们的结果表明，该干预措施可以使工作能力较低的老年工人受益。
