Abstract(s)
Engaging workers with their work is fundamental for employee wellbeing
and performance. Perceived age discrimination in the workplace is a factor
that may influence workers’ engagement. The present study aimed to analyze the moderating role of emotion regulation in the relationship between
perceived age discrimination and work engagement. Survey data were collected from a sample of 453 Portuguese workers of various age groups,
between 18 and 65 years-old. Four instruments were used in this study: (a)
a sociodemographic questionnaire; (b) the Workplace Age Discrimination
Scale (WADS); (c) the Emotion Regulation Scale and (d) the reduced version
of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9). Results show that perceived workplace age discrimination negatively impacts work engagement.
Further, results suggest that emotional regulation exacerbates the negative
relationship between perceived age discrimination and work engagement.
The progressively aging workforce is creating challenging issues to organizations, from a human resource management perspective. Age management
strategies to address perceived age discrimination and work engagement are
needed
