“…EWCS asks workers about the intrinsic characteristics of the profession: salary, hours, participation, organisation, security, and others. The EWCS has been used in past studies to analyse the relationship between working conditions and job satisfaction with different perspectives such as new technologies, gender issues, and workers' age (Okay-Somerville & Scholarios, 2019); (Berde & Rigó, 2020). According to the review of the previous studies and theoretical concepts, this study has attempted to examine the impact of five independent variables on job performance, with job satisfaction acting as a mediating variable.…”

Purpose: This examined the impact of disruptions in information flow, job satisfaction, lack of access to support and communication, motivational factors, social isolation, and working remotely on job performance. The study tested the mediation effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between disruptions in information flow, lack of access to support and communication, motivational factors, social isolation, and working remotely and job performance. Results: The result showed that there was a positive and significant relationship between job satisfaction and job performance with beta = 0.531, T-value = 4.980, and P-value = 0.000. There was also a positive and significant relationship between social isolation and job performance with beta = 0. 217, T-value = 2.101, and P-value = 0.036. but there was a negative and significant relationship between working remotely and job performance with beta = -0.281, T-value = 2.744, and P-value = 0.006. The mediating effect test showed that job satisfaction mediated the relationship between disruptions in information flow and job performance with a significant level = of 0.000. also, Job satisfaction mediated the relationship between working remotely and job performance with a considerable level = of 0.021. The study employed the direct effect test and found no relationship between disruptions in information flow and job performance. Further, job satisfaction did not mediate the relationship between motivational factors, social isolation, lack of access to support and communication and job performance.

“…At the same time, increasing life expectancy and years of good health lead older people to remain in or return to the job market willingly (Hud ak et al, 2015). As Button (2019) and Berde and Rig o (2020) pointed out, the decision to remain in the job market seems to be more effective if the decision is not forced but rather voluntary. The motto "live longer, work longer" has been popularised in OECD countries in an attempt to promote a longer voluntary stay in the labour market (Martin, 2018;Vodopivec and Dolenc, 2008).…”

PurposeThe main goal of this paper is to test whether older Hungarian women face age discrimination in the job market. The theoretical framework of this paper measures the level of discrimination and highlights that age discrimination leads to a waste of human resources.Design/methodology/approachTwo pairs of fictitious CVs were created; each pair included a younger (34 years old) and an older woman (60 years old) with an age difference of 26 years. One pair was designed for office assistant positions, the other for economic analyst positions. The contents of the CVs with photos were entirely fabricated except for active email addresses and phone numbers to allow responses to be tracked. LinkedIn accounts were also created for the analysts. Applications were sent over a four-month period from November 2019. The rate of invitation to interviews was analysed with mathematical statistical methods and a small probability model.FindingsThe younger job seekers were invited to interviews about 2.2 times more often than the older ones. Based on the authors’ probability model, employers evaluate the skills of older applicants at only 45–67% of their actual skills.Research limitations/implicationsThe experiment had to be stopped due to the Covid-19 lockdown as there were no new job postings.Originality/valueThe experiment demonstrates that age discrimination exists in Hungary. In addition to traditional audit job applications through HR portals, we used LinkedIn too. The small probability model applies an old framework in a new environment.

“…The high TFR figures, and their subsequent decline, had a significant effect on the economic growth rates of Western European economies for 20-35 years after the high-value period via the first demographic dividend (Bloom et al, 2003(Bloom et al, , 2009Mason, 2006, 2010;Mason and Lee, 2004). Although the socialist regime hindered economic growth in Hungary, the pay-as-you-go old age pension became universal and available to everybody from 1975 (Augusztinovics and Köllo †, 2009;Berde and Rig o, 2019). The high number of younger workers produced the resources to maintain the living standards of the small proportion of older people.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to show that gig jobs could be considered an alternative way, albeit not the very best, to give work opportunities to older people. This could offset the continuously decreasing income from the pay-as-you-go pension system, which remains the main source of income for older Hungarians. Design/methodology/approach The paper reviews the most important aspects of employment of older people and highlights the digital divide which still restricts their participation in the labor market. The paper analyzes data from the Hungarian carpooling company Oszkár and compares it with official statistical data from the Hungarian labor market, focusing on the dynamics of the employment of older persons. Findings The findings show that the alienation of older workers from the gig economy is just transitory, and that an increasing proportion of older gig workers can be anticipated. Research limitations/implications Compiling data on the gig economy faces a number of obstacles, as enterprises are disincentivized from revealing all their data. Social implications Older people are more likely to be employed in lower-quality jobs, such as own-account self-employed. They are also increasingly more likely to become gig workers. Originality/value The paper articulates the importance of remaining active as one ages and moreover challenges the traditional belief that gig jobs mainly offer opportunities to the younger generations.
