"There are many reasons why a text regarding mid and late career issues would be welcome in the context of today's job market climate in Western countries. . . . The authors set out to 'review, summarize, and integrate the extant literature' in the field. They have accomplished this challenge in a structured, well-organized work with substantial implications for the real world. . . . This volume, a welcome recent addition to Routledge's Series in Applied Psychology, targets a readership in a broad spectrum of academic and applied professionals."-From Personnel Psychology"This is just what we need - an integration of research into the aging workforce with career theories and practices. The emphasis on mid-career talents can help both individuals and organizations." -Peter Warr, Emeritus Professor, Institute of Work Psychology, University of Sheffield
"The aging workforce is a topic of great societal importance, with increasing numbers of people deciding to work longer. This book, written by leaders in this field, should provide valuable insights to a large number of readers. It's a "must read" for students, researchers, organizational practitioners, and policymakers alike." -Donald M. Truxillo, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Portland State University, USA
"Researchers and practitioners often pay more attention to early career decisions and development than to mid and late career. This book corrects this problem by providing an in-depth examination of these critical areas of the career trajectory. The book examines central issues around continuous learning, mid-career change (including accompanying crises and angst), mentoring and being mentored, and preparation for late career and late-in-life conundrums. Human resource practitioners and students will gain a better understanding of interventions that can increase mid and late career employees' performance and engagement and preparation for retirement." -Manuel London, Ph.D., State University of New York at Stony Brook, USA
"With the aging of the workforce unfolding in Western Countries, this book provides a welcome, unique and comprehensive overview of emerging theoretical and empirical issues in the mid and late career. This book is of eminent importance for all who are interested in the aging work force, and will serve an international readership from scholars to practitioners from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds." - Kene Henkens, Professor of Sociology of Retirement, Tilburg University, also Head of the Social demography Department , Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI) "There are many reasons why a text regarding mid and late career issues would be welcome in the context of today's job market climate in Western countries. . . .
