Empirical studies on the topic of work and aging

Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Andreas Hirschi, Professor of Industrial and Organizational Psychology at the University of Bern, a doctoral candidate and a postdoctoral researcher are currently working on the scientific investigation of the topic of work and aging. In particular, the team of the University of Bern focuses on work-nonwork interactions in the context of aging workforces and intergenerational interactions and intergenerational knowledge transfer at work.

The aim is to establish a sustainable, scientifically advanced research program on the topic of work and aging by means of a doctorate and a habilitation in this subject area. To this end, publications of the study results are planned in high-quality international journals as well as more practitioner-oriented outlets to facilitate the application of results in practice. In addition, study results will be presented at national and international conferences such as the Academy of Management (AOM) and the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (SIOP) conference. Cooperations have also been established with several internationally renowned experts to ensure the international reach of the research program. At present, the team at the University of Bern is cooperating in several sub-projects with Prof. Mo Wang (University of Florida, USA), Prof. Hannes Zacher (Leipzig University, Germany) and Prof. Dorien Kooij (Tilburg University, Netherlands) among others.

The publication of initial results is planned for summer 2018. At present, cooperation partners (Swiss companies) are still being sought for carrying out the studies.
