“…A high likelihood exists that employees will continue to change jobs frequently (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2017, 2019) and organizations will face a persistent talent shortage and competition for workers that will demand innovative, welcoming approaches to attract prospects (Earl, Taylor, Roberts, Huynh, & Davis, 2017). In particular, individuals who feel a sense of similarity to the organization will be more likely to apply for employment (Devendorf & Highhouse, 2008), consistent with the ASA framework (Schneider et al, 2000).…”

The purpose of this paper is to establish a foundation for studying and managing new employee hazing in workgroups. Available empirical evidence indicates 25–75% of American employees encounter workplace hazing, but very little empirical research exists on this phenomenon. Workers are changing jobs more frequently than ever, which increases the cumulative impact and importance of new employee experiences, including hazing, a complex group-based phenomenon. Because hazing is a relatively universal social practice without a strongly established literature in the organizational sciences, we draw from multiple disciplines in reviewing and modeling the practice. The current research offers three major contributions: (a) a relatively exhaustive review of relevant empirical and theoretical work on hazing, (b) an initial, testable model for understanding workplace hazing as a multi-level phenomenon, including individual and group-level antecedents and outcomes, and (c) an outline of the need and support for considering both the dysfunctional and functional consequences of hazing, given the variety of forms it takes and reactions it evokes. Finally, we present actionable guidance for researchers seeking to study workplace hazing and discuss the organizational implications of our work for practitioners.

Defining organizational contributions to sustaining an ageing workforce: a bibliometric review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The ageing of populations worldwide has implications for workforces in developed countries and labour shortages have increasingly become a political concern. Governments in developed countries have responded by increasing the retirement age as a strategy for overcoming the fall in labour supply. Using bibliometric techniques, we reviewed 122 articles published between 1990 and 2018 to examine the effectiveness of the strategy in addressing the labour shortages and, in particular, to identify the factors that contribute positively to maintaining worker participation within an ageing workforce at an organizational level. The results identified five organizational factors that support continued participation: health, institutions, human resource management (HRM), human capital and technology tools. Employers will increasingly need to develop "age-friendly" workplaces and practices if they are to recruit and retain older workers.
