A Study On The Mechanism Of The Influence Of Exchange Of Leading Members On The Withdrawal Behavior Of Older Employees

With the deepening of the aging degree of the enterprise staff,the harm of the aging staff's retreat behavior to the enterprise will be more and more serious.Therefore,how to reduce the occurrence of aging employees' withdrawal behavior and mobilize their enthusiasm for production has attracted extensive attention from academia and all walks of life.Although some scholars have found that the enterprise human resource system can reduce age discrimination in the organization to a certain extent,and then reduce the occurrence of aging employees' withdrawal behavior,the actual situation is that aging employees' withdrawal behavior is still common.The reasons are as follows: firstly,the practice of human resource management in enterprises is difficult to ensure that there is no discrimination against the aged employees;secondly,in the face of the implicit discrimination in enterprises,the practice of human resource management in enterprises is often difficult to play a role.Trade unions play three roles of safeguarding rights,stability and order,which can effectively solve this problem.Based on the theory of social exchange,this paper constructs a theoretical model of the influence of leader exchange on the withdrawal behavior of the aged employees,which takes age discrimination as the intermediary variable and labor union practice as the regulating variable,to explore the influence of leader exchange on the withdrawal behavior of the aged employees.Based on the survey data of 321 employees with trade union membership from traditional manufacturing industries in Jiangsu,Zhejiang and Guangdong provinces,this paper tests the theoretical model proposed and draws the following conclusions: when leaders and aging employees are in a high-quality relationship,aging employees will take less withdrawal behavior,that is,leader exchange and aging employees withdraw Age discrimination can play an important intermediary role in the relationship between leader exchange and aging employees' withdrawal behavior;trade union practice plays a regulatory role between leader exchange and age discrimination.Specifically,the trade union practice can help the aged employees to safeguard their rights by taking actions,such as strikes,etc.,which can check and balance the leaders' behaviors,promote the leaders of the aged employees to reduce age discrimination,and thus reduce the withdrawal behavior of the aged employees;the trade union practice can also promote the communication and exchange level between the leaders and the aged employees in the organization by promoting the employees' suggestions,And then reduce the prejudice and discrimination of the leaders to the aged employees,so as to reduce the withdrawal behavior of the aged employees because they feel discriminated.Based on the theory of social exchange,this paper reveals the relationship between the exchange of leadership members and the withdrawal behavior of the aged employees,and probes into its mechanism.It also reveals the regulatory role of trade union practice in this process,and verifies the effectiveness of social exchange theory in explaining employees' workplace psychology and behavior,as well as the expansion of age Research perspective of discrimination and aging employees' withdrawal behavior.In addition,the paper provides a new way to weaken employees' retreat behavior in the field of labor relations,confirms the important role of trade union practice in improving employees' work behavior and helping enterprises to operate and develop,and provides practical guidance for further strengthening cooperation between enterprises and trade unions and better coping with delayed retirement policy.
