Cheree Topple: ‘The Experience of Work Intensity for People in the IT Sector’
This PhD study is embedded in Workforce Ageing in the New Economy (WANE) project, an international project that aims to examine employment and human resources issues in the information technology sector in Australia.
Joyce Jiang: ‘Non-work and workability: managing work and care roles’
Joyce Jiang is a PhD candidate funded by an APAI (Australian Postgraduate Award Industry) award within the Linkages project funded by the Australian Research Council, ‘Redesigning Work for an Ageing Society’. Her research considers an under-researched area of workability theory, namely how older adults manage multiple roles in different domains. Specifically concerning the intersection between work and care, this research will examine how care roles impact on workability, and vice versa, disentangling the range of factors that impact on working carers’ workability and employment decisions.
Selvi Kannan: ’Knowledge Loss and the Ageing Workforce’
This PhD research will use the SECI Model defined in Resource-based theory to identify knowledge loss that may reduce organizations’ sustainable competitive performance in the context of workforce ageing and concerns over low employment rates among older workers.
