Good morning,
First post ever...
I am working on a research that seeks to explore the experiences around performance management systems, its process and the effect on the ageing workforce. And I would like to have landmark literatures that researched both areas together.
Literature on the AWF and on PMS are many but few seem to actually look at the 2 topic areas together in depth.
please can I have some literature to give more bite to my research.
came across the below but need more literature:
www.cipd.co.uk/.../what-works-in-performance-management-reportwww.employment-studies.co.uk/.../managing-older-workers
Thank you
Just an aside, but it really rubs me up the wrong way as an older person to be talked about as if I am somehow different, as it there is this separate group off over in a corner who are "aging" and who will be differently affected by normal work processes or who will react differently and who will have to be thought about separately. Some people are going to be in for a monumental shock when they discover that they too are aging. We are all aging and all at the same rate. I am the same person as I was back when I was 30, 40 and 50 except I have learned more and, IMO, make better decisions. I like doing the same things I have always liked and that includes acquiring new skills and experiences. There are so many negative stereotypes about age. I am not less mentally agile or more forgetful. It doesn't take me longer than a younger person to learn, including learning to work with next technologies. I don't have more time off work. I am not slower than younger colleagues or have less energy. I look around me and I see many people like me but no poor old dears shuffling about, getting confused by social media and needing bright young things to help them.
@Becky - did you ever find any research which could draw a link between different ages and reactions to performance management?
