Age as a moderator in the relationship between work-related characteristics, job dissatisfaction and need for recovery.

Unlabelled: Job dissatisfaction and need for recovery are associated with voluntary turnover, absenteeism and diminished health. In the light of encouraging working longer, this study investigated whether the relationships between various work characteristics and job dissatisfaction and need for recovery are dependent on age. Cross-sectional questionnaire data from 591 university employees were divided into four age groups: < 36, 36-44, 45-54 and ≥ 55 years.
