The relationship between age and job performance evaluations for entry-level professionals
研究发现在公共会计师事务所的初级岗位中，年龄与工作绩效评估呈负相关，但控制本科平均成绩和先前工作经验后该关系消失。
This study examined the relationship between age and job performance evaluations for newcomers recently hired into entry-level positions in public accounting firms. We predicted and found a negative relationship between age and job performance evaluations. This relationship was eliminated after controlling for undergraduate grade average and prior work experience, operationalized as the number of jobs that a newcomer had previously held. Results are discussed in terms of the possibility of negative age effects in entry-level positions and the potential reasons for such findings. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
