^aTest statistic values reported are z-scores.

^bIn all cases, a significant result reflected a more favorable comparison of older workers as compared to younger workers by respondents with a greater number of years of managerial experience.

^cns: nonsignificant based on p >.0083, the critical value derived from the Bonferroni adjusted alpha level of .05.
