Procuramos compreender (a) se a estrutura pentadimensional (dimensões: adaptabilidade; valia dos mais velhos
para a organização; conscienciosidade e lealdade; capital social e generosidade; desempenho) do instrumento de medida
das atitudes dos gestores perante os trabalhadores mais velhos anteriormente desenvolvido é replicada em uma amostra
de estudantes universitários e (b) se essas atitudes ajudam a explicar as decisões dos estudantes. A amostra envolveu 278
estudantes universitários portugueses. Os principais resultados são os seguintes: (a) a estrutura pentadimensional obtida com
gestores portugueses e brasileiros replica-se na amostra de estudantes; (b) apesar de os estudantes reconhecerem qualidades
nos trabalhadores mais velhos, revelam inclinação para práticas discriminatórias relativamente a esses trabalhadores, e essa
inclinação parece ser mais acentuada do que a identificada em gestores.
We seek to understand (a) if the penta-dimensional structure (dimensions: adaptability, value of older people to the organization, conscientiousness and loyalty; capital and generosity; performance) of the measuring instrument of managers’ attitudes towards older workers previously developed is replicated in a sample of university students and (b) whether these attitudes help to explain the decisions of students. The sample involved 278 university students. The main results are the following: (a) the penta-dimensional structure obtained with Portuguese and Brazilian managers is replicated in the sample of students; (b) although students recognize qualities in older workers, they tend to reveal discriminatory practices with respect to such employees, and those practices appear to be more pronounced than those observed with managers.
