Zusammenfassung

Der demographische Wandel bedingt für Organisationen, dass sie sich mit zunehmend altersdiversen Belegschaftsstrukturen konfrontiert sehen. Der folgende Beitrag setzt sich damit auseinander, welche Chancen und Herausforderungen sich aus dieser Entwicklung ergeben. Auf Basis von aktuellen Ergebnissen aus der Organisations-, Management- und psychologischen Forschung werden zunächst potenzielle Auswirkungen von Altersdiversität auf die teambezogene und organisationale Leistungsfähigkeit beleuchtet. Darauf aufbauend werden konkrete Ansätze für Entscheidungsträger in Managementpositionen entwickelt, um den Herausforderungen steigender Altersdiversität in Organisationen erfolgreich zu begegnen.
