Does age affect organizational commitment and individual work performance?

Abstract

The study aimed to examine the effect of age on organizational commitment and individual work performance. To broaden and deepen the concepts of the study, literature was reviewed. The study used a descriptive assessment and correlational research design. The population of the study is the employees of the institution. Questionnaires were used to gather the data and weighted mean and Pearson r were used to interpret and analyze the data. The study found that overall, there is no correlation between age and organizational commitment and individual work performance. However, there is a significant correlation between age and affective commitment of the employees which suggests that the older they become, the more affectionate they become to the institution.
