Question

C) How does age affect productivity? The evidence, however, contradicts those assumptions. During a 3-year period, a large hardware chain staffed one of its stores solely with employees over age 50 and compared its results with those of five stores with younger employees. The store staffed by the over-50 employees was significantly more productive (in terms of sales generated against labor costs) than two of the stores and held its own against the other three. Other reviews of the research find that age and job task performance are unrelated and that older workers are more likely to engage in citizenship behavior.
