In this era when employees are concerned with well-being at personal, organisational and general economic and society level, an era in which more than ever a company's largest assets consist of its people, it is timely and appropriate to gather both the research and experiences of academics and professionals in this domain. The developed world is undergoing a remarkable transformation as societies age, and the impact of this will ripple through all sectors of the economy. Leadership and management of an increasingly ageing workforce will pose new challenges to managers and to the structure of the organisation. There has, to date, been no substantive research on the impact of these changes upon the practice of management and what it means for the development of the next generation of leaders and managers. The timing of AIRC3 aims to address these deficiencies, to lay the groundwork for the development of theory, as well as to offer practical advice and approaches. Within the framework of Multi-generation Challenges: Integrating the age in manAGEment and organisation the issues below are some of the topics the conference may cover, but of course acceptance of submissions is not limited to these: * leadership and novel approaches to managing an ageing and multi-generational workforce * managing 'longer generations' / senior talent management / end of career transitions / creative use of older generation during transitions * new visions on career management in the changing organisational environment * generation Y and e-management * new theories of both motivation and leadership issues, namely the motivation of the younger generation to manage older generations well and the motivation of older generation to manage/mentor the younger generation or be managed by them * well-being at work / well-being of generations in the organisation and organisational restructuring / emotions in organisations / workplace happiness * flourishing in the 21st century : leading and supporting growth and prosperity in the workplaces of tomorrow * employee engagement: the heart of positive organisations/ meaningful work in the multi-generational organisation * premature leave from the labour market * the interaction between the growth of multi-generational patterns and the changing role of women in management / work-life balance * voluntary development * multi stakeholder societies and ageing related change * stakeholder led innovation and strategy for managing the longer generation / the change the organisation needs to make outside its own boundaries / public affairs * public policy for multi-generational challenges in the organisation * global challenges/ national prosperity in this context * cultural differences in ageing and dealing with an older generation in the organisation * the interaction of technology development, ageing and well-being and the multi-generational workforce * corporate governance, non-executive directors and the ageing generation * pensions and the link with organisational well being * challenges for management development for the multi-generation at work AIRC3 offers dialogue among colleagues and timely feedback and peer review on your papers before the submission deadlines for the individual journal Special Issues.
