The motivation of older employees to learn is a complex psychological construct that has hardly been addressed to date. With increasing age, changes in learning and performance as well as a decreasing motivation for training become apparent. Gernot Schiefer and Corinna Hoffmann show connections between motivation, performance and learning behavior and analyze motivational factors and learning obstacles of older employees. In a practical manner, the authors present possibilities for companies to actively contribute to promote the learning motivation of their older employees.
