The article proposes to adopt an action research approach to facilitate the implementation of these practices, presenting for this purpose an action research model, the Quality of Ageing at Work, tested in 31 organizations in Italy and Spain. In light of a review of the literature on age management and action research, it describes the methodology of the Quality of Ageing at Work model and discusses it through the presentation of an organizational case. The Quality of Ageing at Work model consists of alternate phases of action and reflection through which researchers, in constant dialogue with field actors (in this case, managers, work councils, and workers), analyze organizational needs, by applying qualitative and quantitative tools, discuss them, and propose solutions. The main result of the intervention can be considered the increased awareness and autonomy of the organization in implementing an age management plan. This result confirms the effectiveness of interventions built on the dialogical and iterative principles of action research, generating, in a democratic way, new awareness and knowledge and producing organizational change. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/UZ/JIUZ-2017-SOC-09 info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 5.319 2021 INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS & LABOR 3 / 30 = 0.1 2021 Q1 T1 PSYCHOLOGY, APPLIED 21 / 83 = 0.253 2021 Q2 T1 MANAGEMENT 97 / 228 = 0.425 2021 Q2 T2 2.38 2021 Economics, Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous) 2021 Q1 Geriatrics and Gerontology 2021 Q1 Sociology and Political Science 2021 Q1 Organizational Behavior and Human Resource Management 2021 Q1 Life-span and Life-course Studies 2021 Q1 6.0 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Marcaletti, Francesco Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-3273-5311 Iñiguez Berrozpe, Tatiana Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-4530-9645 4009 775 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
