| Abstract | Given that midlife workers make up an increasingly larger portion of the workforce today, it is imperative that researchers investigate how current changes ini the I work environment are impacting individuals in their ' midlives. Thus, the paper's focus was on a systematic examination of the work adaptation process of midlife workers. The goal of the paper, was to construct a model of midlife work adaptation that depicts a basic framework outlining coping processes by which midlife adults use to approach changes identified in the current midlife context that challenge them cognitively, physically, and emotionally. The model's fit was tested using archival data from the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) survey. The first conclusion of the study was that the absence of stress does predict successful midlife aging in a changing work environment. The second conclusion was that comparative resources increase the likelihood of a context absent of stressful effects present in the current context of midlife. Lastly, it was concluded that comparative resources predicts successful midlife aging in a changing work environment. The study's findings indicate that comparative resources in midlife, both external and internal, do play a very significant role in adaptation |
