报告题目：Heavy is the Head Who is Middle-Aged? The Curvilinear Relationship between Age and Tolerance of Workplace Exploitation

报告摘要

The slowdown of global economy led to a surge in explorative management practices, which results in heightened challenges for employees in both the work and family domains. Drawing upon power dependence theory and the lifespan perspective, we theorize that age has a non-linear effect on employee outcomes through tolerance of exploitation. Furthermore, the inverted U-shaped relationship between age and tolerance of exploitation is more pronounced in employees who are highly family-motivated and have lower external employability. To test our hypothesis, we conducted two studies: a survey-based field study in Hong Kong (Study 1) and a scenario-based experiment in Mainland China (Study 2). Overall, the results largely support our theoretical model. These findings have implications for research on aging, organizational exploitation, and power dependence theory.
