Abstract Research into work ability is increasing in the aging workforce literature. We argue that the COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered a number of possible gaps in our understanding of the work ability concept itself, its antecedents, and outcomes. We offer future research directions to further examine the theoretical underpinnings of work ability, moderators that may enhance its effects, and ways to broaden work ability conceptually to better capture the experiences of older workers.

COVID-19 及其对工作能力研究的影响

摘要 在劳动力老龄化文献中，对工作能力的研究越来越多。我们认为，COVID-19 大流行揭示了我们对工作能力概念本身、其前因和结果的理解中可能存在的一些差距。我们提供了未来的研究方向，以进一步研究工作能力的理论基础、可能增强其影响的调节剂，以及从概念上拓宽工作能力以更好地捕捉老年工人经验的方法。
