Below 27 years: n=167, 28 years and above: n=148<br />

The results of the bivariate correlation analysis conducted in the sub-group where<br />

subordinates’ age is fewer than 27 years are compared with those in which the<br />

subordinates’ age is 28 years old and more. The results presented in Table 28 reveal<br />

that in both the sub-groups the LMX difference is moderately correlated to<br />

subordinates’ organisational commitment, and there are no significant differences in<br />

the results. This implies that differences in subordinates’ age did not have any<br />

influence on the relationship between LMX agreement and subordinates’<br />

organisational commitment. The correlations in both the sub-groups are significant at<br />

the 0.01 level (two-tailed). The results further displayed that LMX difference is not<br />

correlated to subordinates’ turnover intent among both the sub-groups.<br />
