“…Research results show that the regression coefficient for age variable is significant and negative, confirming that the level of work satisfaction for younger employees is on average lower than compared to their older counterparts ( Table 7). The perceived occupational stress and perceived symptoms of burnout are significantly higher in the group of younger employees (Table 5 and Table 6), which is in line with several previous findings (Adams et al, 2013;Ahola et al, 2008;Haley et al, 2013). This also brings the answer to the third research question: we established that occupational stress, behavioral and emotional symptoms of burnout and age proved to have a significant and negative impact on employees' satisfaction, while the impact of physical symptoms of burnout was not confirmed.…”

Background and Purpose: Age diverse employees are faced with different types of occupational stress and different symptoms of burnout when carrying out their work. Therefore, the role of age in job design and implementation of work should not be ignored. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the age differences of occupational stress and symptoms of burnout of employees and to analyze the impact of occupational stress, symptoms of burnout and age on employees’ work satisfaction. Methodology: The paper is based on research that includes a survey of employees in two age groups: younger employees under 50 years of age and older employees between 50 to 65 years of age. Factor analysis was used to form the constructs of occupational stress, symptoms of burnout and employees’ work satisfaction. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test was used to test differences in the obtained constructs of occupational stress and symptoms of burnout in the workplace between two independent groups. The multiple regression analysis was used to examine the impact of occupational stress, symptoms of burnout and age on employees’ work satisfaction. Results: The results show there are statistically significant differences in occupational stress and symptoms of burnout in the workplace between older and younger employees. On average, younger employees perceived higher levels of occupational stress and burnout as compared to the older group. Research results also show that occupational stress, behavioral symptoms and emotional symptoms of burnout, as well as age, have a significant impact on employees’ work satisfaction. Conclusion: Managing diversity requires a strategic approach to managing people at work. Therefore, this research adds to the body of knowledge by pointing out the relationship between age and occupational stress and burnout symptoms. Because the role of age in job design has largely been ignored, these relationships have not been studied enough.

“…Participants reported their age, sex, and country.
