A closer look at the effects of subordinate-supervisor age differences

Article Abstract:

Directional age differences among employees have been proven to create a substantial impact on work outcome and employee behavior, as shown by a survey involving ground workers, middle- and high-level supervisors of varying ages. Results revealed that employees who are younger than their superiors tend to manifest positive work behavior, while subordinates who are older than their immediate supervisors are likely to engage in frequent absenteeism and less citizenship behavior. These tendencies may partly be explained by the contrasting views of various age groups regarding status differences.
