Popis: To fully understand the effects of age-related stereotypes in the workplace, we must consider how the various 'shades' of age discrimination develop and affect the behavior of employers and employees in the context of organizational relations. We contribute to the discussion on age-related stereotypes and age discrimination in the workplace initiated by Murphy & DeNisi (2021) by arguing that: (1) detecting and conceptualizing mechanisms of age discrimination can benefit from taking a multilevel organizational perspective; (2) age discrimination should not only be conceived as direct or ‘hard discrimination’, but also soft discrimination and self-discrimination, which are common yet mostly harder to detect; (3) taking a multilevel organizational perspective facilitates research into the dynamics of age-related stereotypes and discriminatory practices in the workplace from a complex-system perspective, i.e., how do they emerge as outcomes of complex, multilevel, and mutual interactions.
