Dissertation Project
As China is the country with the fastest aging population, the retirement age is being incrementally increased. In combination with the consequences of the former one-child policy, this leads to a growing aging workforce. Remaining longer in the workforce does not necessarily equal a prolonged motivation to contribute actively in a business. This leaves human resource management departments with challenges to motivate older workers and simultaneously retain young talents. China still heavily relies on intergenerational support systems in elderly as well as childcare. Contrary to common belief, family businesses are not always family-friendly, which might spur an already prevailing work-family conflict. The aim of this research is to unravel the black box of motivation in Chinese family businesses, while considering an age-diverse work-family conflict.
