This article reviews the state of the art of the literature on perceived age discrimination in organizations from 2010 to 2024. We discuss common conceptions, measurement approaches, and theoretical perspectives on age discrimination. Thereafter, we summarize key findings that differ between studies exploring antecedents of age discrimination and those considering employee and organizational consequences. In a summary, we advocate for further research on mitigating age discrimination, especially in the context of digitalization and generational differences, emphasizing the need for age-inclusive practices and interventions.
本文回顾了 2010 年至 2024 年组织中感知到的年龄歧视文献的最新进展。我们讨论了年龄歧视的常见概念、测量方法和理论观点。之后,我们总结了在探讨年龄歧视的前因和考虑员工与组织后果的研究之间存在差异的主要发现。在总结中,我们主张进一步研究减轻年龄歧视的方法,特别是在数字化和代际差异的背景下,强调需要采取包容各个年龄段的实践和干预措施。
