✦ Synopsis

Relational demography research has emphasized a similarity±attraction paradigm in explaining employees' reactions to demographic dierences from other organizational members. This study examined similarity±attraction (nondirectional age dierences) and status incongruence (directional age dierences) predictions of age dierence eects. The nondirectional and directional dierences between the age of a subordinate and the ages of his or her immediate and higher-level supervisors were used to predict employee absenteeism, citizenship, and work change behaviors. Results revealed that there were more signi®cant and marginally signi®cant directional age dierence eects than nondirectional age dierence eects on work outcomes. The implications of these results for organizations are discussed.
