• Description:
  This chapter provides an overview of the current landscape of the aging workforce, as well as the kinds of tools that organizations are increasingly adopting to support their human resources management (HRM) processes. It then describes the lifespan changes in cognition, personality, motivation, and societal context that influence the way adults perceive and approach work. The chapter applies these lifespan development theories and research findings toward exploring how employees of different ages will be impacted by use of Internet-based work tools. It proposes further research that needs to be conducted in order to determine how these tools can be designed and deployed to drive effective use across the increasingly age-diverse workforce. The chapter discusses the Internet-based tools that support a range of human resources (HR) functions and the likely consequences for workers of different ages, particularly older workers.
