Abstract： The global workforce is experiencing aging. Successful aging at work has received considerable scholarly attention in recent years due to its significant role in promoting productivity improvement, career development, and the realization of work values among older workers. Through content analysis of 74 relevant papers, the factors that influence successful aging at work can be summarized into four categories: organizational and work environment, adaptive strategies, proactive strategies, and personal characteristics. Accordingly, a comprehensive model of the occurrence mechanism is proposed. In the future, more in-depth research should be conducted in three areas: exploring "structural" factors and the integration of interdisciplinary theories, further investigating antecedents and occurrence mechanisms, and optimizing research methods and designs.

Abstract：
In the light of social development and technology advance, joint consumption—a kind of consumption in which multiple consumers jointly share the cost and the final product—becomes more frequent and engenders new phenomenon. However, extant literature mainly focuses on examining the effects of typical factors in joint consumption (e.g., genders, roles), while neglecting the basic underlying characteristics of joint consumption (e.g., the key difference between joint consumption and individual consumption). To fill this gap, the present project based on mental accounting theory proposes a new construct—group mental account. We illustrate the decision-making process of joint consumption as a collection of multiple people’s group mental accounts based on certain rules. Thus, joint consumption would lead to a maximizing bias according to the mental accounting theory. Based on the rationale of maximizing bias, the present project examines consumers irrational behaviors and corresponding psychological mechanisms and boundaries under two major joint consumption contexts, including group gift giving and joint purchase. The present research contributes literature in joint consumption and mental account theory, as well as providing marketing strategies to promote healthy and sustainable consumption.
