What the paper says

Abstract Uncertainty is a pervasive and increasingly defining feature of work and careers across the lifespan. Uncertainty is a topic of growing relevance in light of demographic shifts, evolving career and retirement patterns, and ongoing work-related changes, such as technological advancements, shifting economic landscapes, and unforeseen global events. While traditionally regarded as an aversive state to be avoided, uncertainty is also recognized as a catalyst for growth, learning, and personal development. The aim of this special issue is to promote a more explicit consideration and integration of uncertainty in research related to work, aging, and retirement. In this editorial that accompanies the special issue, we (a) introduce the contributing articles and highlight how they enhance our understanding of the role of uncertainty in work, career, and retirement; and (b) discuss key issues and directions for future research and practice to support individuals, teams, and organizations in navigating uncertainty across diverse stages of working life.
