Singapore employees prefer to work with managers of the same age or older

SINGAPORE (Aug 1): A majority 79% of employees in Singapore prefer to work with managers who are of the same age or older than them, according to the latest Randstad Workmonitor.

Globally, seven in 10 employees prefer their direct managers to be their age or older. The sentiment is higher with 82% of respondents saying as such.

In a media release issued on Wednesday, Randstad says that this is reflection of a typical Asian culture where people tend to value status and seniority at the workplace over learnability and competence.
