Results
Means, standard deviations, and simple correlations among study variables are reported in
Table 1. The path analysis results are reported in Table 2 and Figure 2. Results showed that
all the predictors included in the model accounted for 44% of the variance in company work
ability and 28% of the variance in company performance. These results suggest that the
model could explain a considerable proportion of the variances in company work ability and
company performance.
Company average age was negatively related to company work ability (B = –.02, p < .01),
which provided support to Hypothesis 1. The main effect of employee average use of SOC
on company work ability was not significant. Therefore, Hypothesis 2 was not supported.
The two-way interaction term between company average age and employee average use of
SOC was positively related to company work ability (B = .02, p < .05). Following Cohen,
