PublicationAge diversity and its performance implications - Analysing a major future workforce trend(Springer, 2011)
;Boehm, StephanDemographic change, increased retirement age, and efforts to shorten the duration of education will lead to a more age-diverse workforce in future. Age diversity’s successful management will therefore become an important business issue for company practitioners. Unfortunately, knowledge concerning the outcomes of diversity in general and age diversity in particular lacks consistency. On the basis of the similarity-attraction paradigm, social identity and self-categorisation theory, token status, and inequality, some scholars argue that diversity has negative effects. On the basis of the information/decision-making perspective, other scholars predict that diversity has positive outcomes.Type: book sectionScopus© Citations 11 -
PublicationStepping down but not out – Characteristics of post-executive careers in Switzerland(Springer, 2011)
;Boehm, StephanThis chapter sheds light on retirement behaviour in the executive labour market segment, presenting characteristics and trends in the market for executives' post-career activities and employing Switzerland as a case in point. The observations are based on a dataset comprising the 104 executives who retired from top management positions at 50 of the largest publicly listed Swiss companies and left the executive labour market between 2006 and 2008. The findings show that there is an emerging market for post-executive activities in Switzerland and that the type, intensity, and location of activities pursued in the post-executive labour market are related to the demographic characteristics and career profiles of retiring executives.Type: book sectionIssue: Bd. 8Scopus© Citations 1
