From the author: In light of the graying workforce, this research examined the relationship between chronological age and the acquisition of computer skills. Specifically, the authors theorized an inverse relationship between age and amount of computer skills acquired would be explained by computer self-efficacy, as opposed to inappropriate training method or declining physical and mental capabilities. The results revealed a significant inverse relationship between age and skill acquisition, a negative relationship between age and computer self efficacy, and mediation of the relationship between age and computer skills by computer self-efficacy. Findings suggest that older participants' beliefs or efficacies about acquiring computer skills were inconsistent with their abilities to do so. These findings help guide managers and future research on the employability and development of a graying workforce in jobs demanding technological adaptation.
