description

A growing number of old employees should be employed in future organisations, particularly in highly developed countries, and because of at least two reasons. First, the populations of many countries are aging. Second, the time of remaining active on the labour market is prolonging. The barriers for older workers on this market include age stereotypes regarding such workers. Therefore, it is important to know individual characteristics that are associated with stereotyped thinking about older workers. This paper presents the results of the research related to the relations between such thinking and two personal values. The results of the statistical analysis indicate that persons with low acceptance level of vital and aesthetic values reveal less stereotyped thinking about older workers than persons with high acceptance level of such values. These findings should constitute a stimulus to continue the research on the relation between values and stereotyped thinking about older workers, including other types of personal values and individual properties.
