Age and work outcomes: The moderating effects of self-efficacy and tool design effectiveness
通过实地研究，考察自我效能和工具设计有效性对年龄与工作结果（缺勤、绩效、满意度）关系的调节作用，发现自我效能调节年龄与缺勤的关系，工具设计调节年龄与绩效的关系，两者均正向影响工作满意度。
This field study addressed the relationship between age and work outcomes by investigating the effects of two potential moderators of age–work outcome relations: self-efficacy and perceptions of tool design effectiveness, while controlling for job tenure, job demands, and gender. Findings revealed that job-focused self-efficacy beliefs moderated the relationship between age and absenteeism, while tool design moderated the relationship between age and performance. Self-efficacy and tool design both had direct positive main effects on job satisfaction. Implications for research on age and constructive work force management are discussed.
