Editorial Reviews
Review
"In my opinion, this collection of papers should be of interest to researchers, advanced students and public policymakers in the fields of ergonomics as well as occupational health, occupational psychology, organizational and industrial psychology and sociology, mechanical engineering, gerontology and work physiology…I very much hope that ergonomics practitioners interested in the dynamics of change in organizations will not only read these papers but will learn enough from the contents to feel stimulated to transfer their learning into practical proposals and conversations about the management of 'productive aging' with general managers and senior HR and occupational health practitioners." -Ergonomics, Vol. 48, No. 6, May 2005
