Using data from a 2007 survey of employees, we investigated the effects of perceived supervisor age and work-group age composition on supervisor support and work-group inclusion, respectively. We found that employees with lower core self-evaluations reported higher supervisor support if they believed their supervisors were older than they were, but for employees with moderate or high levels of core self-evaluations, the perception of having an older supervisor was negatively associated with supervisor support. If the majority of the work group was older than the employee, the employee reported lower levels of inclusion
