The Role of Domain Satisfaction in Explaining the Paradoxical Association Between Life Satisfaction and Age (2011, background): “Baltes and Dickson 2001 ), people attempt to maximize desirable outcomes while minimizing undesirable outcomes.”
Maintaining a focus on opportunities at work: The interplay between age, job complexity, and the use of selection, optimization, and compensation strategies (2011, background): “SOC researchers have proposed that the effectiveness of the use of SOC strategies depends on the general availability of internal andexternal resources to individuals (B. B. Baltes & Dickson, 2001; Freund & Baltes, 2002; Jopp & Smith, 2006; Wiese et al., 2000, 2002).”
Age, resistance to change, and job performance (2013, background): “Furthermore, the paper investigates the relationship between RTC and individual performance, thereby introducing RTC as a mediator in the age/job performance relationship.”
Achieving Work-Family Balance: An Action Regulation Model (2019, background): “In doing so, we answer researchers’ calls to offer a theoretical model of the work-family interface that incorporates self-regulation (Baltes & Dickson, 2001; Schmidt, Beck, & Gillespie, 2013).”
Age and work‐related motives: Results of a meta‐analysis (2011, background): “In SOC theory (Baltes et al., 1999), successful development is defined as the conjoint maximization of gains and the minimization of losses. Across the life span, Baltes et al. (1999) suggest that maximization is achieved by a process of selecting viable outcomes, optimizing resources, and compensat”
Differential effects of task variety and skill variety on burnout and turnover intentions for older and younger workers (2013, background): “Thus, older workers can use these strategies to adapt to the workplace and continue to work successfully (Baltes & Dickson, 2001).”
Wisdom principles as a meta-theoretical basis for evaluating leadership (2009, background): “Also relevant to organizational and leadership practice are the aging phenomenon (Johnson, 1995), the type and life-span of wisdom in organizations (Baltes & Dickson, 2001), and the inter-generational transfer of wisdom in the workplace (Hammer, 2002), which should also be significant research…”
Subjective career success and emotional well-being: Longitudinal predictive power of selection, optimization, and compensation (2002, background): “Recently, another attempt to apply the SOC framework to work settings has been undertaken by B. Baltes and Dickson (2001).”
A lifespan perspective on job design: Fitting the job and the worker to promote job satisfaction, engagement, and performance (2012, background): “Therefore, SOC processes explain the strategies people use to adapt to age-related changes, as well as dynamic changes occurring in the workplace (B. B. Baltes & Dickson, 2001).”
The selection, optimization, and compensation model in the work context: A systematic review and meta-analysis of two decades of research (2016, unknown): “In a conceptual paper, B.B. Baltes and Dickson (2001) also applied the SOC model to work – family con ﬂ ict, leadership, and organizational effectiveness.”
