Introduction
The technological innovation has changed the world significantly. The organizations
have adapted to advancements to gain an upper hand and achieve competitive advantage.
However, the process of change is never easy. The changes in technology are the ones that face
much resistance from the employees. With these developments, the workforce is forced to learn
new techniques, skills, and abilities required. It is equally difficult for young as well as older
employees. The employees who are above the age of 50 find it difficult to adapt to these
technologies is a popular conception/ misconception. The adaptability to these changes can be a
strong determinant of the organizations’ success or failure.
Older Workers are not Efficient or Able to Adapt to Technology
It is a conventional belief that older people have difficulties when it comes to adopting
technologies. It is more a stereotype than a perception. There are people who need jobs and
search for them at an older age, this misconception hinders their chances to get selected. Many
studies have been conducted regarding the same and it is observed that this misconception is just
that- a misconception. In fact, older people felt less stressed out using the technologies as
compared to younger people(Harootyan & James, 2018). Also, it was reported that employees
above the age of 55 hardly faced any trouble using multiple devices at a time. The tools and
technologies have helped older employees improve their existing skills and abilities.
Furthermore, it helped them overcome the restrictions that came with age. The acceptance of
technology has also helped reduce the discrimination concerning age, provides social support,
and also provides with better opportunities to network(Coughlin, 2014).
