Summary: In recent decades there has been a global aging phenomenon, resulting in a more age diverse workforce. This phenomenon represents a challenge for organizations, which have the need to attract and retain the best talents through Human Resource Management (HRM). Prior research has shown inconsistencies on the study of the impact of age in the relation between human resources (HR) practices and work-related outcomes. Drawing on Social Exchange, Signaling and Conservation of Resources theories, this research aims to examine the role of chronological age and life stage in the relationship between HR practices and individual (i.e. well-being) and organizational outcomes (i.e. turnover intention). A sample of 365 employees participated in this time-lagged study, by answering to two questionnaires. Three bundles of HR practices were studied. Development Practices (HRDP), Maintenance Practices (HRMP) and Flexible Practices (FWP) showed a negative impact on turnover intention. However, only HRDP positively influenced well-being. Further, nor age nor life stage moderated the relation between HR practices and the studied outcomes. Findings suggest that to retain employees and promote their well-being, organizations should provide HRDP, HRMP and FWP to all employees, regardless of age or life stage. This research contributes to the HRM literature, by showing that age does not moderate the impact of these practices on individual and organizational outcomes, and that professional development is an important part of well-being.

Este fenómeno representa um desafio para as organizações, que necessitam de atrair e reter o melhor talento através da Gestão de Recursos Humanos (GRH). Investigação anterior mostra inconsistências no estudo do impacto da idade na relação entre as Práticas de Recursos Humanos (PRH) e as variáveis relacionadas com o trabalho. Tendo em conta as teorias da Troca Social, da Sinalização e da Conservação de Recursos, esta investigação pretende examinar o papel da idade cronológica e da fase de vida na relação entre as PRH e variáveis individuais (i.e., bem-estar) e organizacionais (i.e., intenção de saída). Uma amostra de 365 trabalhadores participaram neste estudo time-lagged, respondendo a dois questionários. Foram estudados três conjuntos de PRH. As Práticas de Desenvolvimento (HRDP), Práticas de Manutenção (HRMP) e Práticas Flexíveis (FWP) mostraram um impacto negativo na intenção de turnover. No entanto, apenas as HRDP mostraram um impacto positivo no bem-estar. Além disso, nem a idade nem a fase de vida moderaram a relação entre as PRH e as variáveis estudadas. Os resultados sugerem que, para reter os trabalhadores e promover o seu bem-estar, as organizações devem providenciar HRDP, HRMP e FWP a todos, independentemente da sua idade ou fase de vida. Esta investigação contribui para a literatura sobre a GRH, mostrando que a idade não modera o efeito destas práticas nas variáveis individuais e organizacionais e, que o desenvolvimento profissional é uma parte importante do bem-estar.2023-09-21T00:00:00Z2020-10-26T00:00:00Z2020-10-262020-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/20847TID:202535711engSilva, Sofia Alexandra Faustino dainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAP2024-07-07T02:55:40Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/20847Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T18:10:48.275391Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
