When age does not harm innovative behavior and perceptions of competence: Testing interdepartmental collaboration as a social buffer

Can older managers overcome stereotypes relating age to low competence? We integrate the literature on age and cognitive ability with research on innovation to explore whether—and if so, when—employees' age harms performance and promotability appraisals made by their supervisors. Multisource, time‐lag data from 305 project managers indicate that the negative stereotypes can be explained through decreased innovative behavior. However, older employees are not always seen as poorer performers with less potential to be promoted due to their reduced innovative behavior. Rather, interdepartmental collaboration moderates these effects. Specifically, older employees with low interdepartmental collaboration are less innovative and receive worse performance and promotability appraisals than younger employees, but the “age handicap” vanishes when older employees collaborate with members of other departments. Organizations should foster formal or informal collaboration among units to prevent negative consequences of an aging workforce.     

Consequences of a green image of drone food delivery services: The moderating role of gender and age

Drone food delivery services play a significant role in protecting the environment, because the services are operated by batteries that can be charged with electricity. Therefore, this study tried to examine a green image in the context of drone food delivery services. More specifically, this study proposed that a green image of drone food delivery services plays an important role in the formation of attitude toward using the services. In addition, it was hypothesized that the attitude has a positive influence on behavioral intentions including intentions to use, word‐of‐mouth intentions, and willingness to pay more. Lastly, the moderating role of gender and age was proposed during the theory‐building process. A theoretical model, which included 12 hypotheses, was developed and tested using a total of 427 samples collected in Korea. The data analysis results showed that a green image of drone food delivery services has a positive influence on attitude toward using the services, which in turn positively affects three subdimensions of behavioral intentions. Furthermore, gender and age played partly as a moderator. The current paper was the first to study the green image of drone food delivery services, so the findings of this study mean a lot to the theoretical aspect.     

我国经济发展水平与劳动力就业数量关系研究——兼论我国劳动力资源是否过剩

我国劳动力对经济发展而言，其生产率高于资本，因而经济发展对劳动力就业的促进作用逐渐减弱（经济增长的就业弹性逐渐变小）。据测算，我国2013年以前劳动力就业压力很大，2015年以后劳动力又会供不应求。所以，我国未来经济发展中，2014年前后应采用不同的产业结构调整策略来充分满足劳动力就业的要求。     

试论新时期大学生素质教育

目前，高等教育中“偏重知识传授，忽视能力和心理素质培养，影响了学生全面素质提高”的现象不同程度地造成了当前大学生在知识结构方面存在的问题，其突出的表现是：知识面狭窄，偏重专业知识，忽视人文、社会科学、经济、管理等学科，知识体系内部缺乏互补效应。加强和改进大学生素质教育，要遵循大学生素质教育规律和大学生成长成才规律，牢固树立“学校教育，育人为本，德智体美，德育为先”的思想，培养学生健全的人格和良好的心理素质。

浅析产业内贸易理论

随着各国经济发展和人均收入水平的不断提高,产业内贸易的比重越来越大。以“国际产品异质性”、“需求偏好相似”、“规模经济优势”三个原理为支柱的产业内贸易理论对此进行了有效的解释,并以一个全新的视角对国际经贸理论进行了发展和完善。掌握这一理论无疑对我国产业结构的调整和贸易政策的制定都有着积极的借鉴意义。
