Abstract

ABSTRACT This study deals with the impact of relational demography upon occupational expertise ratings, and possible moderating effects of interpersonal work context factors. The results revealed support for a decrease in supervisor ratings of occupational expertise of their subordinates as an effect of directional age difference (status-incongruence: a situation wherein a supervisor is younger than his or her subordinate). Moreover, it appeared that transformational leadership style could not moderate this effect. Dyadic tenure appeared to strengthen the negative effect of status-incongruence, yet, only in the case of a longer duration of the relationship between employee and supervisor. Both theoretical and practical implications of these outcomes are discussed.

人际工作环境可能缓冲与年龄相关的刻板印象

摘要本研究探讨关系人口学对职业技能评分的影响，以及人际工作情境因素可能的调节作用。研究结果显示，主管对下属职业技能评分的下降是年龄差异(地位不一致:主管比下属年轻的情况)的影响。此外，变革型领导风格似乎不能调节这种影响。双任期似乎加强了地位不一致的负面影响，然而，只有在员工和主管之间的关系持续时间较长的情况下。讨论了这些结果的理论和实践意义。
