“…Authors attribute these divergent age effects to the various gains and losses that accrue over the lifespan. Age is reliably associated with both gains and losses in a variety of domains, such as cognition (Kanfer & Ackerman, ), affect (Scheibe & Zacher, ), health and physical functioning (Ng & Feldman, ), and motivation (Kooij, de Lange, Jansen, Kanfer, & Dikkers, 2011). The mix of these gains and losses explains why the net effects of age tend be very small or close to zero—the gains and losses compensate for each other (Doerwald, Scheibe, Zacher, & Van Yperen, ; Ng & Feldman, , ; Rauschenbach et al, ; Salthouse, ).…”

Service workers are expected to maintain high‐quality service delivery despite customer mistreatment—the poor‐quality treatment of service workers by customers—which can be demeaning and threatening to self‐esteem. Although service work is increasingly delivered by middle‐aged and older workers, very little is known about how employees across the age range navigate abuse from customers on the job. Does advancing age help or hinder service performance in reaction to customer mistreatment? Drawing on strength and vulnerability integration theory, we proposed that age paradoxically both helps and hinders performance after customer mistreatment, albeit at different stages. We tested our proposed model in a two‐sample field investigation of service workers and their supervisors using a time‐lagged, dyadic design. Results showed that age heightens the experience of self‐esteem threat but, nevertheless, dampens reactions to self‐esteem threat, leading to divergent effects on performance at different stages. Implications for age and service work, as well as aging and the sense of self, are discussed.

“…The effects of disabilities can range from minimal (e.g., aches, joint soreness) to incapacitating health problems (Ilmarinen et al 1997). Interestingly, meta-analytic evidence supports a significant positive relationship between age and clinical health issues (e.g., elevated blood pressure, cholesterol) but finds no relationship between age and self-reported increased physical health problems (Ng & Feldman 2013a). Although one would anticipate that declines in physical functions would relate to work injuries, research has shown that older workers have a lower incidence of injuries (Ng & Feldman 2008) but that their recovery from injury is generally slower (Sterns et al 1985).…”

The workforce in most industrialized countries is aging and becoming more age-diverse, and this trend is expected to continue throughout the twenty-first century. Although there has been an increased interest in research on age differences at work, few studies have examined actual interventions designed to support workers at different points across the life span. In this article, we review the literature related to aging at work, including physical, cognitive, personality, and motivational changes; life-span development theories; age stereotyping; age diversity; and work-life balance. Based on this review, we propose a number of avenues for intervention research to address age differences at work. We conclude by identifying critical challenges specific to studying age at work that should be addressed to advance research on interventions.12.1

“…The neutrality of observer might be apparent while evaluating the extraneous reflections or objective achievement of the individual. While, intrinsic reflections or subjective career success means individual's own perceptions identified with his/her own profession (Ng et al, 2005;Ng & Feldman, 2013;Sur & Ng, 2014).…”

“…Whilst, the situation has created a strong competition among the existing employee; as the dropped out employees have good experience and hands on practice (Azeem, Rubina, & Paracha, 2013;Hanna, 2014;Ishtiaq, 2015). Now, the time is to upgrade the professional career by enhancing qualification and work experience, otherwise the survival will become very complicated (Ng & Feldman, 2013). Career success is deemed and necessary for the success and survival in the professional life and career (Harash, Al-Timmi, Alsaad, Al-Badran, & Ahmed, 2014;Praskova, Creed, & Hood, 2015;Yean & Yahya, 2013;Zainal, 2012).Career success has now become the area of interest for the academicians and researchers contemporarily in Pakistan (Saher et al, 2014;Yasir, Rizwan, Fiza, & Javed, 2013).…”

The main aspiration of the study remained to explore and examine the predictors of perceived university performance. While career success for the faculty members of public sector universities in Pakistan is becoming the area of interest for researchers and academicians. Data were collected from 223 faculty members who are currently serving as faculty members in public sector universities of Pakistan. The results supported the significant positive association of career success and organizational justice with perceived university performance. SEM-PLS technique through, Smart PLS 2.0 applied to explore the results.
