dc.description.abstractContemporary workplaces are characterized by diverse age groups that work collaboratively. Research has indicated an increase in workplace age discrimination, being crucial to understand the perceptions of employees regarding its impact at work contexts. The present study explores the potential for objective measurement of age discrimination in European employment rates among older workers. It addresses the lack of a validated instrument to measure age-related discriminatory experiences in the Portuguese context, demanding the adaptation and validation of a reliable and valid tool. The study focuses on adapting and validating the Workplace Age Discrimination Scale (WADS) in a sample of 536 Portuguese employees from public, private, and third-sector organizations in the southern region of Portugal, assesses the perceived age-related discrimination in the workplace, and determines to which personal variables workers’ age is related. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) supported the unidimensional structure of the WADS, with acceptable fit indices. The scale demonstrated high internal consistency. Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that age and hours worked per day were significant predictors of perceived age discrimination. These findings validate the Portuguese version of the WADS as a reliable and robust tool to assess age discrimination in the workplace.eng
