Abstract

PurposeThis paper aims to examine theJ-shaped relationship between age and job-specific skill obsolescence (JSSO), and the differential moderating effects of development and maintenance HR practices on this relationship.Design/methodology/approachRegression models of survey data obtained from a sample of 722 Chinese knowledge workers were used to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe results show that among women age and JSSO areJ-shaped related and the relationship weakens under high development HR practices; while among men theJ-shaped age-JSSO relation is significant only under low maintenance HR practices.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is subject to the cross-sectional design, and the sample is restricted to knowledge workers.Originality/valueThis study advances previous studies that hold a linear (positive or negative) age-JSSO relationship by theorizing and testing aJ-shaped one. The differentiated moderating effects of two bundles of HR practices proved improves our knowledge about how to use HR practices appropriately to sustain employee work competency in the context of workforce aging.

年龄与职业技能过时:人力资源实践的调节效应
目的研究年龄与岗位特定技能过时(JSSO)之间的j型关系,以及人力资源发展和维护实践对这一关系的差异调节作用。设计/方法/方法采用回归模型对722名中国知识型员工的调查数据进行检验。结果表明:女性年龄与主观满意度呈“j”型相关,且在高发展人力资源实践中关系减弱;而在男性中,只有在低维护人力资源实践中,j型年龄- jsso关系才显著。研究局限/启示本研究采用横断面设计,样本仅限于知识型员工。原创性/价值本研究通过对j型年龄- jsso线性(正或负)关系的理论化和检验,进一步推进了前人的研究。两束人力资源实践的差异调节效应证明了我们对劳动力老龄化背景下如何适当使用人力资源实践来维持员工工作胜任力的认识。
