Older Worker's Adaptation to a Changing Workplace: Employment Issues for the 21st Century.

Yeatts, Dale E.; Folts, W. Edward; Knapp, James

Educational Gerontology, v25 n4 p331-47 Jun 1999

Older employees have needs, values, and interests that must be met for them to choose to remain, and jobs have requirements they must meet. As the workplace changes, the individual/job fit will also change. Factors affecting older employees' ability to adapt include training, personnel policies, and age discrimination. (SK)
