Welcome also from mine
I am very happy to be here today
to be with them just like
come straight to the topic of aging in the
this is my big job
research topic with me
I’m burning for that
but wants to still to come then,
come or take a little trip
I want to take with them
start in outer space and in the
space where currently the flying object
is created by humans that am
farthest from us
what we see here is the voyager 2
probe which is 21 billion kilometers
currently 21 billion away from us
kilometer that is already a whole
nice time on the road and that is now
just in the concept of our solar system
to leave
that is a huge success story
Space travel that this probe so long
is on the way and research data us
provides information from this region
huge success story all over
Aerospace and that’s just so far
come off because it’s pretty
For a long time there has been this mission
started almost 40 years ago
exactly 40 years ago ie end of august
at the beginning of september are the two people
but sent out in space
been
originally one had thought the
Sun only five years that is fly
five years then will nowhere
space burn up
but they still fly on and on
Now here they almost have ours
heliosphere means ours
Solar system always leave fly
someday they will eventually
also to an extraterrestrial life
so come sunbathe
equipped is a record there
Greetings in 55 languages from the world
recorded 33 songs at the time
at the end of the seventies at that time in delusion the
the extraterrestrial meat bit something
want to get across what at least in
the seventies so in the world that
with is very exciting story so
great project super successful
NASA project of American
aerospace organizations technical
Huge success that still
it probably works the same way
10 years to go on
even more exciting, especially for me
for my research as management
but an organization researcher is
that there are also people behind it and
the interesting thing is that is still
the same people for the most part with
We started seeing this project
the eps sound that is still the
Head of mission today 76 years old
the 1977 started these two
bask in the sunshine near by
angeles
in one in a center of nasa too
control
that means someone also this team
on the road that these suns controls the
do that with the technology of
then at that time totally high tech here
Personal computer at that time straight on brand
Of course today come total slodczyk
is the great and this is important that
not only this technique works
but also that these people this
team still works so well and also
is absolutely necessary to this technique
to control
If you see this is larry sugar
Berlin
this is the programmer of this mission
already 76 years and that is the
the only one in the near to be still
the programming language speaks and
can operate to control these suns
to control the course
that means extremely important knowledge of
these people still every day
come to the office for this mission
conduct
So a great example for now
also little to the theme of stoxx out
conducts work in the workplace
aging in the workplace how are we going
that is, of course, that’s natural
already an extreme example, of course,
also an extremely positive example like
the people can work well
even beyond the use limit of 65
continue to work beyond motivated
are enthusiastic and part and
at the same time something important
for the organization of the
company they work for
contribute a great example to that
could be that even such a
little look into the future
Pension age is always here after
pushed out the back
but overall this is mine
view also necessary but we see that
also just as a reality in the
the working population becomes easy
older can you see now have
I pay you a little bit
Germany brought 1997 to 2014
is a bit cut off though
dark blue bar that is 2014
participation in various
in different age groups we were
can see most of what happens here
from me on the left side of
on the right side in the
oldest age groups that strengthens her
the participation rate increases quite a bit
strong 50 to 60 to 65 has the
It’s more than double 55 to 60
also increased significantly means here
we see a strong change and
also the average age of
world population germany switzerland
but also in many other western ones
industry parents is rising
39 to 43 and that will be safe in the future
still pretty much increase
that is not just for the
nasa somehow a thing that is for
many companies in Germany but
also in the Bodenseeregion also small
and medium-sized companies
that’s a big topic how are we going
in order for our workforce to get older
becomes and at the same time personally
How can we do anything else?
Contribute to projects as we get older
maybe we’ll work until age 65
if some of them maybe too
that’s about working beyond 65
the big issue was me very much
interested in me for a long time
I have been working on it for a long time now
over 11 years this is my main
research topic to which I already many
publications studies have done with
Companies here in the region but also in the
but also worldwide
other researchers are also working on this and
the big question is here now
why does that work in some places?
film or for some individuals like that
well as we do in the nasa example
People have been scary
productive are enthusiastic from 45 years
maybe theirs
Performance of their motivation
even up
the other remains relatively stable
but at some
and that’s what you’re like
Often type victims what the society
Also many movies as the red head
the productivity goes
motivation down
that’s what we if we as a
There are also great studies
meta-analyzes different studies
summarize studies what you see there
we have a relatively large one
fluctuations between individuals so
some can cope well here
These nasa beust that make that great
for others it ‘s pretty fast
and I can not make it up
to use limit how can we
explain that
that’s the motivation, so to speak
But my research there because close
in front of him with my team in constancy to
how can we explain that and one
main thesis I have and that is also
what I am today in the center of one
wanting to talk is that it’s a lot
has to do with the attitude to old
so that many and they can
maybe even short yourself
Imagine a strong discrepancy
have a deviation between that
how old I sort of pass in my passport
am and how old I feel today
that could be an explanation
I will explain further how
we can explain that some people and
stay productive too
stay physically fit and others
maybe that means stronger
subjective old age attitudes
age identity may be
a big role and how can you do that
How do I influence the topic?
always get that as often
researcher does in my
research area that this
organization and management of researchers was
there are numerous still had nothing to
none yet what to do there I watch
other research area times pure
is trying a bit too
to be inspired
then I’m in one more
research area is close
if you have dealt with age
that gerontological research is
right the right age research the
to deal with very old people
and how beautiful they are, too
can have in higher age
there is a super exciting study
the name is counter klopp white
Studies turn back the clock
which was written by a gerontologist and
social psychologist ellenlangen in the
harvard university usa
already at the end of the seventies
and what made them very much
exciting experiment that has classes
experiment two groups formed one
trial group a control group and
in the trial group she has for one
Group of I believe twelve people
try for a week the time
Turn back 20 years that is
that was with this test person
they were made into such an external one
Retreat brought in such a monastery in sun
a remote house and there was a
Setting created as if it were 20 years
previously 179 back to 959
that means there was only music played
from 20 years ago only able to newspaper
from 20 years ago
Each of the participants had one
Write a resume 20 years ago
ends
the other parts only take pictures
before from the other war for the 20
years younger were the experimenter
made sure they over
Topics discussed 20 years ago
other control group also people the
all over 70 were wounded
was partially recruited
also brought to ried for a week
were also spotted but not with
this specific treatment that the
time was turned back then what
happened and that is super exciting
in this experiment you have both
of the cognitive abilities so
intelligence test that’s better before
but after become particularly on
physiological skills are better
become
so what the agility finger length
so very important measure if you like that
with older people research is
Run skillfully all that has
statistically significant in this
trial group where the time
was turned back by this
Context also improves external
proven have photos of these
persons rated younger than
at the control group
So very exciting because I’ve read
build that is super exciting
the context in which these people are
move
even something like that changes
physiological physical measurements
Cognitive ability can be said yes
now also for the working world is so
not so interesting that he only too much
old people carried out there is there
perhaps even more potential which
rauszuholen is another study that
also changed the context and that
is a study in the field of
priming research like the classical one
is done in social-psychological
area with very young people
So it was done here
average age not like over
70 but 22 23 years and that’s one
study quite simple experiment too
again try control group where the
Participants can take on students
university sentences had to form out
words in the given task you
had to form sentences in the
They had to form teams in the trial group
with old stereotyped words
So something like old slowly forgetful
so everything in the bingo florida
usa with age also negatively associated
becomes
was accidentally leaked to them and
they had to sit on it
The control group must also form sentences
so innocuous words then what
it was made that you see here
are then out of your test room
went out went down the hall
and then it stopped like fast
the corridors under which you go
then look here too in this chart
the group represented with these
age serotypes rebounded affected
was going much slower though the
a very young
as the group did not pass through
that would also affect here
another story but similar again
the setting in which we move
we are somehow influenced as we are
behave as we move
I read both super spans
because that is very interesting
what does that mean for mine now?
concrete research what does that mean for
the world of work what does that mean?
Organizations, it is similar to that
the context in which I work in the
I move in, I also
spend much of my life time
has an influence on how old I am
It feels and affects me too
behavior that means what do we have
we made the study
carried out by yourself
Over 100 German companies 15,000
People interviewed quite a big study
Various things queried but under
We also have this question
how old do they feel?
actually independent of her
chronological age ie at the time
now that I would have to ask her
you give a number how old you feel
she is independent of her
We have that chronological age
evaluated and what do we see there
see chronological old man is
still pretty young that’s the only one
age group on average where the
people slightly older lead from 25 to
25 years young people feel
maybe a bit tending
older you try so to speak
maybe experiences compensate the
accumulates when we go down here
at the old one has the younger one feels
that means we arrive here then
Group 50 to 65 on average of
These 50 thousand people will be there
Report that you are more than eight
years younger than you really lead
chronological age first great
exciting which is also very interesting
there were also differences between
female surveyed and male us
have seen that female interrogated
significantly in minus 5.65 years as
the male surveyed 49 5 years
be comes naturally that the
Women really involved her
younger are also perceived as such
or of course that’s the stronger one
Social social pressure there
also for female employees in
To lead this temple the boy
only times already great tension that is
this big difference gives me something
but now as an organization as
management research much stronger
there are interested in examines
these differences also differ
companies between organizations the
As we said in this temple we have
100 organizations 100 companies there
in there and then it gets really exciting
at least for me what we saw there
we have had at these 100
organizations which where the
employees on average eight months
feeling younger means that is relatively
Small deviate from all staff
away in the organization in others
Businesses are eight years old
felt younger
that is a massive gap between
These organizations look older
or we feel younger
went on and looked at that
also relevant to the organization
and then have that in connection with
the efficiency of this
Organization and what we do that
then see it simplified here for you
it is shown that we see the
Company where the employees
feel younger are on average 10
percent more successful and that
chronological age of the employee
that even in these studies with us in it
then it just does not play any
more
other study not published but
We have the very latest data
same again with misconduct
made at the big swiss
company here
there we saw that the wrong times
rate even fluctuates by almost 40 percent
between those here on the one in this one
hall teams where the employees
where they feel old and young
turn the chronological age plays
then no role
So also very impressive results
that really does seem really
may have relevance
But what does that mean first?
once for organizations from my
sight that means and that’s a lot
exciting implication that this whole
discussion of demographic change
The city may find work
It is completely wrong to think it works
not around this
illogical age which in many
staff almost inevitably
rises but it goes more and more
this subjective perceived this
age the age of the
employee and that should be mine
view in companies rather the
foreground
on the one hand , employees would be hired
that you are quite older
Employees 40 50 plus can adjust
if this is the appropriate setting
they are very strong on theirs
chronological age may differ
also for career decisions
organizations where we still see today
from 50 years even 45 will be the people
no more training is sent
no career prospects at all
more you have to differentiate very much
that is very much motivated
ambitious innovative older
employed aging workers
There is also something for everyone
personally
that’s another exciting thing the
we have found here is one
very strong role for that
felt age if you want a meaningful
have meaningful activities pursues
we also saw what we did in the study
have seen that those in
to work for a company where you think
you make something meaningful by 33%
feel younger than those who do that
do not do that and that’s why
personally for all of you
also, so to speak, the main fair the kiki
bay
look at a young age
especially in the middle and older
actually for all
Age groups that find their job
she is excited for her with her
Look for them for burning
they are motivated and meaningful
then maybe they can succeed
to have such a success story with 78
years
with the app store still on a project
to work for what mankind
thrilled what 40 years flies or
at least productive and innovative too
aging and successful work world too
be
thank you very much
