Age
The older you get, the less likely you are to quit your
job.
In general, older employees have lower rates of
avoidable absence.
A belief exist that productivity declines with age.
However reviews of the research find that age and job
performance are unrelated.
A positive association between age and satisfaction
When the two types, professional and nonprofessional
employees, are separated, satisfaction tends to
continually increase among professionals as they age,
whereas it falls among nonprofessionals during middle
age and then rises again in the later years.

Gender
There are few, if any, important differences between
men and women that will affect their job performance.
There are no consistent male-female differences in
problem-solving ability, analytical skills, competitive
drive, motivation, sociability, or learning ability.
Women are found more willing to conform to authority
and the men are more aggressive and more likely than
woman to have expectations of success
There is a difference in terms of preference for work
schedules. Some studies have found that women have
higher turnover rates; others have found no difference.
Women have higher rates of absenteeism than men do.

Marital Status
No evidence to draw any conclusions
about the effect of marital status on
productivity.
Married employees have fewer absences,
undergo less turnover, and are more
satisfied with their jobs than are their
unmarried coworkers.
Tenure
Studies demonstrate that seniority to be
negatively related to absenteeism.
Tenure has consistently been found to be
negatively related to turnover.
Tenure and satisfaction are positively
related ???
