life, life expectancy, as well as in the
various communities above, and this leads
to people more time to work and retire
later. Hence nowadays can be a lot of age

of about 20 years to about 65 years). This
age difference creates a heterogeneous
environment with different norms and
behaviors are in the organization.

problems and wants to be more free to
