Abstract:
Purpose – Ageism has deleteriously influenced individuals and society for nearly half a century. Despite
receiving increased attention, it remains under-researched regarding how it might be reduced in the
workplace. Even though its prevalence and allure, review studies on workplace ageism (WA) are also scarce,
and thus a review is warranted.
Design/methodology/approach – To fill the preceding void, this study will systematically review the
existing literature on WA using data from the past four decades.
Findings – This study identified the various antecedents and the intervention mechanism through which
WA may be reduced. Additionally, through reviews, the authors advance the research by offering promising
avenues for future research.
Originality/value – This review contributes to human resources managers and will inspire future
scholars to delve deeper into combating age discrimination, stereotypes and bias toward employees in
workplaces.
