摘要：
The ageing workforce presents a significant challenge to ergonomists. Whilst our knowledge of changes in physical and cognitive capacities with age has been researched, there has been little attention paid to the perceptions of the older workforce regarding their experience of ageing in the modern workplace. This case study has used qualitative methods to gain new insights into the motivations, health issues, coping capacities and self perceptions of ageing workers in a food processing industry.
