“…However, there has not as‐of‐yet been a meta‐analysis of the work engagement literature that has considered age–engagement relationships. To support this analysis, we conducted a bare‐bones meta‐analysis of such relationships ( K = 31; N = 26,751; r = 0.12, p < .05) via the MetaBus database (Bosco, Steel, Oswald, Uggerslev, & Field, ). We searched this database for the keywords “age” and “work engagement.” This search initially yielded K = 35 studies, of which four studies were excluded because they were duplicate records.…”

Summary Occupational future time perspective (OFTP) refers to employees' perceptions of their future in the employment context. Based on lifespan and organizational psychology theories, we review research on OFTP and offer a meta‐analysis of antecedents and outcomes of OFTP (K = 40 independent samples, N = 19,112 workers). Results show that OFTP is associated with individual characteristics and personal resources, including age (ρ = −0.55), job tenure (ρ = −0.23), organizational tenure (ρ = −0.25), educational level (ρ = 0.16), and self‐rated physical health (ρ = 0.16), as well as job characteristics, such as job autonomy (ρ = 0.22). Moreover, OFTP is related to important work outcomes, including job satisfaction (ρ = 0.28), organizational commitment (ρ = 0.41), work engagement (ρ = 0.22), retirement intentions (ρ = −0.37), and work continuance intentions (ρ = 0.16). OFTP is also related to task (ρ = 0.11) and contextual performance (ρ = 0.20). Additional analyses show that OFTP predicts job attitudes and work performance above and beyond the effects of another developmental regulation construct, selection, optimization, and compensation strategies. Overall, the findings of our meta‐analysis suggest that OFTP is an important construct in the context of an aging workforce.

“…We have also detailed three potential use cases of the metaBUS platform to facilitate the generation of search terms, to conduct rapid, first-pass meta-analyses, and as a final check for overlooked findings when conducting a meta-analysis. As the database grows, technological developments emerge, and additional functionality is built in, we look forward to evaluating the extent to which the platform will serve the goals of open science (see Baker, Bosco, Uggerslev, & Steel, 2016) and EBM (see Bosco, Steel et al, 2015).…”

“…Thus, to search for the letter string "performance" would exclude a great deal of relevant findings. As one approach to remedying this concern, the metaBUS platform includes a hierarchical taxonomy containing nearly 4,900 variables branching from major classifications (e.g., intentions; behaviors) to finer-level classifications (e.g., behavior: performance; behavior: counterproductive behavior) (see Bosco, Aguinis et al, 2015;Bosco, Steel et al, 2015). By selecting parent nodes, one may alleviate concerns brought by the varied terminology.…”

“…Not only is the collection of such information more complex, but it also requires much stronger researcher skills in statistics. A project that has been successful in approaching this is MetaBus which aims to automate metaanalyses [44]. While enabling hypothesis generation and the development of more robust theories this approach to integration requires attention to the means by which theories resulting from integration can be tested and validated.…”
