“…As for the reduction of organizational prejudices, international literature recommends certain actions, as well as stimulating intergenerational production 17 : promoting seniority as a significant component in all exercises of diversity; developing a guide on ageism to be used as an educational tool, which goes beyond mere knowledge of the law; conducting training sessions that value intergenerationality, communication and team building. In Brazilian literature, recommendations include greater investment in training, updating the skills of older workers, the approximation of workers using intergenerational teams 7,17 and encouraging programs aimed at retaining the skilled labor of these workers through the reduction and/or flexibility of working hours, special leave and workload. Some examples of the formation of intergenerational teams 17,18 and the presentation of a diagnosis of diversity and organizational inclusion 28 have also been highlighted, in which the organization can identify, in addition to ageism, other prejudices that impede the valuation of diversity and an organizational culture of inclusion 8 .…”

“…The results showed that the participants did not consider ageism an inherent problem in the aging process 29 , unlike the findings of research conducted in other countries 13,17 . It is therefore increasingly necessary to study this theme in order to promote broader discussions that offer practical solutions and work opportunities for all 5,7,25 .…”

“…Ageism is linked to diversity and inclusion, which have recently become social and political concerns, as described by Torres et al 7 . Accepting differences leads to the development of attitudes and actions that encourage inclusion and the punishment of discriminatory behavior.…”

Objective: elaborate a scale for ageism in an organizational context (Escala de Ageismo no Contexto Organizacional or EACO), seeking evidence of its structural validity and investigating possible differences in prejudices against elderly workers. This article also highlighted differences between gender, age and levels of schooling. Method: the project was divided into two studies: the first focused on the construction of the EACO, testing the understanding of the initial instrument among 82 workers. A new version was sent to and analyzed by ten judges, resulting in a 28-item scale with six dimensions. The second study presented evidence of the validity of the EACO, using a more robust national sample. The modified instrument was electronically issued to 2,400 workers of varying ages from different regions of Brazil, with 600 participants responding. Results: Exploratory factorial analysis (EFA) resulted in an EACO with 14 items, with satisfactory eigenvalues, factorial loads and communality, grouped into two dimensions: D1 -negative attitudes, composed of cognitive and health aspects (α=0.83) and D2 -positive attitudes, composed of affective aspects (α=0.77). Younger workers had more negative attitudes towards aging than older workers, who in turn had more positive attitudes than younger individuals. Conclusion: The EACO tested ageism in organizations and demonstrated evidence of validity. It is also recommended, however, that the scale is used in its longer version in future research, with national and transnational groups and participants of different educational levels.

Diversity and inclusion (D&I) are pivotal in cultivating a favorable society, profoundly influencing both individual and collective welfare within educational and occupational contexts. Contemporary studies underscore the role of gaming as a potent medium for advancing D&I principles, thereby bolstering collaboration and personal growth. Furthermore, proficient management of diversity within work environments not only adheres to legal standards but also yields economic advantages, such as heightened job satisfaction. To explore significant dimensions of the D&I research domain related to the lens of pedagogical gaming, the authors propose (a) a comprehensive review of the literature, also considering a historical developmental overview of the concepts of diversity and gaming; (b) an empirical field study aimed at assessing the primary potentials, along with positive and negative perceptions, as well as critical challenges associated with pedagogical gaming methodologies.
