envelhecimento, práticas de diversidade etária, contrato psicológico, intenção de saída, bem-estarResumo
O envelhecimento da população mundial acarreta inúmeros desafios para as organizações, entre os quais a retenção de uma força de trabalho cada vez mais diversa em termos de idade. Com base nas teorias do contrato psicológico e da troca social, este estudo examina o efeito das práticas de diversidade etária no bem-estar subjetivo e na intenção de saída dos trabalhadores via contrato psicológico relacional. Uma amostra de 257 trabalhadores portugueses respondeu a um questionário. A análise de equações estruturais foi aplicada para testar o modelo de mediação. Os resultados mostraram que a existência de práticas de diversidade etária contribui para o desenvolvimento de um contrato psicológico do tipo relacional o que, por sua vez, leva a maiores níveis de bem-estar e a menores intenções de saída da organização. As implicações teóricas e práticas dos resultados são discutidas.
