The Risk of Age Discrimination in Potential Appraisals of Employees Home > Projects > Age Discrimination in Employees Project members Project lead Giverny De Boeck Project member Nicky Dries Project member Prisca Brosi Overview The purpose of this research was to evidence the higher susceptibility of potential appraisals to age and gender bias in comparison to performance appraisals. To test our hypothesis empirically, we analysed two large archival datasets, one from a German chemical multinational and one from a Belgian finance company, using regression analyses and structural equation modelling. We also conducted a vignette experiment to replicate our findings, while keeping all other factors constant. Our results Showed that potential appraisals were biased against older employees who received systematically lower ratings than younger employees, and that this negative age effect was stronger for potential than for performance appraisals. Moreover, age also affected pay raises and promotions in the next year via potential ratings. Our experiment showed that the different scores of older and younger employees could not be attributed to differences in competence level, meaning that they reflected actual bias. For gender, effects were largely absent. In conclusion Our results suggest that potential appraisals entail a serious risk for age discrimination in organisations, because they structurally limit the career opportunities of older employees, creating a so-called ‘silver ceiling’. The collaboration Industry collaboration between researchers of the Centre for Transformative Work Design and two large companies: A chemical multinational corporation based in Germany, and an organisation active in the financial and insurance services industry in Belgium. Serves the mission of the Centre of Excellence for Population Ageing Research (CEPAR) and, specifically, the research stream on ‘Organisations and the Mature Workforce’ led by Prof. Sharon Parker which aims to deliver solutions to one of the major economic and social challenges of the 21st century. Jointly funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) as well as the Flemish Research Council (Fonds voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek - FWO). Industry outcomes Evidence backed by data Provide evidence for and identify actual sources of bias in organisations using statistical analyses to help employers decide where to target the investment of their resources. Build on theoretical knowledge Advise organisations on how to tackle bias (i.e., using a contextualised- rather than a competency-based approach to prevent age bias when identifying employee potential) Solution orientated Articulate suggestions for organisations and governments about how they can better manage demographic changes in the future. Promote fairness Develop fair appraisal procedures in organisations’ human resource management to break the ‘silver ceiling’ and keep older employees motivated to work longer.

Any staff or student at Curtin University is welcome to attend any FOWI Academy and FOWI Practice Academy session they like. Please bear in mind that the Academy was created to meet the needs of early career researchers (i.e., HDR students and junior academics) within the disciplines of Management, Organisational Behaviour, and Organisational Psychology. This may mean that some of the content or examples may not be relevant to people from other disciplines. We do not wish to discourage people from attending, but just want to be careful to manage expectations When are the FOWI Academy sessions scheduled? Please refer to the schedule above, and available on the Future of Work Institute website. Occasionally, the FOWI Academy may host an ‘extraordinary’ session if, for example, a visiting academic or practitioner is available and willing to deliver a workshop. What types of sessions are there? The FOWI Academy and FOWI Practice Academy programs were constructed after asking ECRs from the Future of Work Institute to tell us what they would like to learn about. The four themes that were identified were: contemporary research methods, life/career as an academic, how to engage with industry, and how to ensure research has an impact. Most workshop sessions will focus on topics within these four themes. Workshop presenters will generally be asked to limit their sessions to 2 hours, and to try to make the ses-sions interactive where possible. Supplemental FOWI Academy and FOWI Practice Academy events will take on different forms (e.g., journal club, round tables). Do I need to enrol in a session before attending? Please contact Diane Garnham to register for a session (fowi-admin@curtin.edu.au) Where are the FOWI Academy sessions held? The sessions will be held on the 2nd floor of 78 Murray Street, Perth, depending on lecture room availability. We will try to notify you of any venue changes, and signs will be posted on the day. I'm not able to attend the session, will the sessions be recorded? Between 2020-2022, we ran several sessions in a hybrid format with mixed success. Our suggestion is to attend face to face, as the sessions will be designed with the live audience in mind. However, sessions will be live-streamed, recorded and uploaded to Office 365 for individuals who requests access. Please note that our video recording technology has limitations, so we cannot ensure that the presenters will always remain within the camera's frame or that the speaker and audience audio will be captured clearly. Additionally, some sessions include interactive elements that may not translate effectively to video. Do I need to do any preparation for the sessions? Please prepare in advance a PowerPoint presentation to accompany your FOWI Academy session, in some cases other types of preparation might be required. This preparation might involve installing software (e.g., R Studio), reading an article, or jotting down some ideas that would connect the topic of the session to your own research interests. Presenters will be asked to make clear whether there is any homework or preparation. Please bear in mind that most presenters are participating in the FOWI Academy and FOWI Practice Academy on a voluntary basis, so please respect their requests to complete the preparation activities. If you have not completed the preparation, the presenter will not be willing nor able to wait for you to catch up! I would like to run a session or invite someone to run a session of FOWI Academy – What do I need to do? Please bear in mind that the sessions are planned many months in advance, last minute timeslot requests may not be available. We recommended contacting the Coordinator in advance with your preferred time slot. Please contact the FOWI Academy program committee (currently Micah Wilson (micah.k.wilson@curtin.edu.au), Lucinda Isles (lucinda.isles@curtin.edu.au, and Patrick Dunlop, patrick.dunlop@curtin.edu.au) with details on what you like to present on and when you are available.
