Employee Age and Voluntary Development Activity.

Warr, Peter; Birdi, Kamal

International Journal of Training and Development, v2 n3 p190-204 Sep 1998

A study of 1798 workers involved in tuition reimbursement, employee-development programs, staff-development centers, or keeping personal-development logs showed that older workers generally had less education and more limited learning motivation. Those who had participated in development activities were as positive about lifelong learning as younger workers. (SK)
