| dc.description.abstract | Taiwan will become a ＂Super-aged society ＂ in 2025. It is estimated that there will be a serious shortage of youth labor force by then. Moreover, the labor force participation rate of aging employees in Taiwan is lower than that of Japan and South Korea, which indicates that such labor force is not deployed effectively. Though the government of Taiwan has guaranteed employment opportunities for the aging employees in 2021 through legislation, the support from enterprises is needed such as human resources plans designed for those employees. This is to eliminate age discrimination gradually and improve the labor force participation rate of aging employees. As a result, aging employees will still be able to contribute to the organization, as well as the society.
This study uses Occupational future time perspective (OFTP) as an independent variable, the five dimensions of Successful aging at work (SAW) are intermediary variables, the employability is the dependent variable, which is the research framework model. This paper uses OFTP to explore how to achieve SAW to enhance the internal employability. Let aging employees be willing to continue to work in the enterprise.
A total of 433 samples were collected, the age ranged from 45 to 65, using questionnaire method. The results show that the five dimensions of SAW (Adaptability and health, Positive relationships, Occupational growth, Personal security, Continued focus and achievement of personal goals) play a mediating role between OFTP and internal employability. If the five dimensions are analyzed together, the mediating effect of two dimensions disappears, and only “Occupational growth”,” Personal security” and “Continued focus and achievement of personal goals” have mediating effect. Under the limited time and resource cost, enterprises should give priority to three dimensions of human resources planning according to the organizational development and strategy. It is expected that the results of this study can provide reference for enterprises to assist aging employees to continue their work in the organization. Furthermore, developing personal potential and keeping the career growth might avoid the early retirement or leaving the workplace the labor force participation rate of aging employees will increase gradually once they find their personal goals and try to achieve accordingly. Employers in Taiwan are suggested to be ready for the ＂ Super-aged society ＂. | en_US |
