Abstract

Job resources and work engagement: the contributing role of selection, optimization, and compensation strategies at work Matthias Weigl · Andreas Müller · Severin Hornung · Max Leidenberger · Barbara Heiden engagement. additionally, we found meaningful mediation effects, such that positive associations of job resources with work engagement were significantly mediated through SOC use. These findings suggest that the application of successful aging strategies and enhanced job resources are conducive to engagement at work. Theoretical and practical implications regarding the joint effects of SOC strategies and job resources for successful aging in the workplace are discussed. Zusammenfassung Das Handlungsmodell der Selektion, Optimierung und Kompensation (SOK) hat sich als ein wichtiger ansatz zum Verständnis der Bewältigung von alters-und alternsbedingten Veränderungen bei Beschäf-tigten an ihrem arbeitsplatz herausgestellt. Bislang konnte die Forschung zeigen, dass Beschäftigte mit häufigen SOK-Strategien in der arbeit erfolgreiches altern am arbeitsplatz berichten. Gleichwohl sind die verantwortlichen arbeitsbedingungen für eine erfolgreichen SOK-anwendung unzureichend beleuchtet. unsere Studie untersuchte die direkten und indirekten Effekte für das Engagement in der arbeit durch die anwendung von SOK-Handlungsweisen am arbeitsplatz sowie durch zwei zentrale ressourcen der arbeit: Lern-und Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten sowie autonomie im Job. Diese Informationen wurden mittels AbstractThe life-span model of selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) provides a valuable theoretical framework for understanding organizational behaviour related to coping with age-related changes. although previous research has demonstrated that SOC strategies at work contribute positively to individual outcomes, the role of workplace characteristics has been insufficiently addressed. This study investigated direct and indirect effects of SOC strategies at work and two important job resources (i.e., learning and developmental opportunities and autonomy at work) in predicting work engagement. all variables were assessed through employee self-reports based on standardized survey measures. Data collected from 118 flight attendants showed that SOC strategies were positively associated with work engagement (r = 0.28, p < 0.05). Learning and developmental opportunities (r = 0.35, p < 0.01) and job control (r = 0.31, p < 0.01) were also related to work Job resources and work engagement: the contributing role of selection, optimization, and compensation eines Fragebogen erfasst, anhand standardisierter Skalen. Die untersuchungsgruppe waren N = 118 Flugbegleiter verschiedener deutscher und österreichischer airlines. Die vermehrte anwendung von SOK Strategien ging mit hö-herem arbeitsengagement einher (r = 0.28, p < 0.05). Lernund Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten in der arbeit (r = 0.35, p < 0.01) und autonomie (r = 0.31, p < 0.01) waren gleichfalls mit mehr arbeitsengagement assoziiert. anhand von mediationsanalysen fanden wir, dass der positive Ef...

Advances in friction stir welding by separate control of shoulder and probe

“…Hence economical aspects such as high costs for large FSW setups, preventative tool replacement, and comparatively low welding speeds restrict the application of FSW. Furthermore, industrial demands increasingly require adjustment of the weld seam conditions, so that high mechanical strength and low surface roughness ensure a high-quality joint and fewer or no surface finishing steps [9,10]. Both mechanical strength and surface conditions are related to the tool configuration.…”

“…The stationary shoulder can be used to decrease process forces due to less material being displaced. Furthermore, a relative reduction of the surface roughness may be achieved due to the fact that the fixed shoulder smooths the surface across the weld seam [10]. However, the stationary shoulder configuration requires high demand in process handling.…”
