dc.description.abstractThis dissertation examines how work design can address the challenges of an aging workforce and increasing learning demands while promoting employee health, informal workplace learning, and occupational future time perspective. From a lifespan perspective, the literature review reveals age-specific differences in the relationships between psychosocial job characteristics and individual health, underscoring the need for age-sensitive work design. From a learning perspective, the conceptual study shows how telework alters opportunities for informal workplace learning and highlights how supervisors can support it by designing work characteristics and learning processes. From an integrated lifespan and learning perspective, the empirical study examines job-related and personal antecedents of occupational future time perspective and the role of job crafting, emphasizing reciprocal and dynamic relationships between work design and self-regulation. Overall, the findings demonstrate that future-oriented work design should be age-sensitive, learning-oriented, and adaptive to support continuous learning and successful aging at work.en
