The analysis of the position of women in the labor market in the face of changes in the technological structure and the effect of age-related stereotypes is given. The results of an empirical study of the socio-psychological age of female personnel (engineers and doctors) of the companies with different involvement in innovative processes are presented. In the study, R. Kessler’s distress test and author’s questionnaire, combining questions and direct scaling, were used as tools. It is shown that the socio-psychological age of personnel depends on the specifics of the organizational and cultural conditions and the characteristics of HR management in the implementation of innovations. The effects of stress during the introduction of innovations in an organizational culture of a hierarchical-clan type are revealed, which are manifested in fatigue, a deterioration in the self-assessment of health and age, and causing personnel resistance. Management evaluates the personnel in opposition significantly older than their chronological age. Female personnel in an organizational culture with a pronounced innovative component supports the innovative development vector, feels less tired, more healthy and young. Managers rate the age of the majority of the staff as young or correspondent to chronological one. Thus, a new basis for the age-related assessment of personnel by managers has been proposed – namely, characteristics not of chronological, but of socio-psychological age. Its basis is a value readiness to accept innovation.
