Abstract

Prominent review articles conclude that the relationship betweenage and job satisfaction is probably linear because the clear majorityof studies has produced linear findings. Recent research has suggested,however, that if the agesatisfaction relationship was investigatedusing appropriate multivariate techniques while controlling for levelsof employee tenure, the true shape of the relationshipcould be determined. Unfortunately, studies which have done so have cometo opposite conclusions about the linearitycurvilinearity of therelationship. The present investigation, using 457 employees of a USsocial service organization, suggests that the shape of theagesatisfaction relationship is neither universal nor invariate but, infact, depends on individual and situational differences.
