Abstract

This editorial introduces the Special Issue on “Age and Emotions in Organizations.” The Special Issue aims at leveraging theory and research on emotional aging to better understand the work-related consequences associated with employees’ age. After summarizing relevant theories of emotional aging, we develop 3 overarching conceptual models that allow for a categorization of research linking age, emotions, and work outcomes. We emphasize that these models are applicable to a wide range of age-related and emotion-related variables as well as work outcomes at multiple levels of analysis, and they allow for the inclusion of a broad array of personal and contextual boundary conditions. Building on these considerations, we summarize the 5 articles comprised within this Special Issue. Finally, we depict a number of future directions for research aimed at understanding age effects in organizations through an emotional lens.

组织中的年龄和情绪：主要，调节和特定于上下文的影响

抽象的

这篇社论介绍了“组织的年龄和情感”特刊。本期特刊旨在利用有关情绪衰老的理论和研究，以更好地理解与员工年龄相关的与工作相关的后果。在总结了有关情绪衰老的相关理论之后，我们开发了3个总体概念模型，可以对年龄，情绪和工作成果之间的关系进行研究分类。我们强调，这些模型适用于与年龄有关和与情绪有关的各种变量，以及在多个分析级别上的工作成果，并且它们允许包含各种各样的个人和上下文边界条件。基于这些考虑，我们总结了本期特刊中的5篇文章。最后，
