From July 4 to 6, 2024, the 40th annual colloquium of the European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS) took place in Milan, where the Chair was represented with a current research contribution.

Prof. Hüttermann presented the results of a research project on demographic differences in the use of new forms of work. In the joint study with Max Reinwald (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München) and Heike Bruch (Universität St. Gallen), the authors specifically examine the extent to which systematic age differences exist in the provision and use of remote work arrangements within organizations. Based on a large-scale empirical analysis, the study investigates, first, how such age differences affect employees’ organizational identification and overall firm performance. Second, it identifies strategies through which leaders and HR management can prevent potential discrimination against specific age groups in access to remote work.

The paper is available to interested readers upon request.
