Discrimination of age is one of the most challenging aspects of the workforce. This study examined the influence of stereotypical belief, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and organizational goals on intention to retain older employees by examining the managers’ attitude as a mediator. This research was conducted through a quantitative approach by using a questionnaire. A total of 296 respondents were randomly selected. The statistical package of social science (SPSS) software was used to run factor analysis, reliability analysis and descriptive statistical analysis. AMOS program was used to carry out the structural equation model as well as testing the research hypotheses. The study contributes to the body of knowledge in human resources specifically the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) that can predict the influence of managers’ behavior on managers’ intention to retain older employees in the Libyan corporate sector. Statistically significant relationships were found between stereotypical belief, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and organizational goals and managers’ intention to retain older employees. The relationship between managers’ attitude and managers’ intention to retain older employees was statistically significant too. A test of the mediated relationship confirmed that the managers’ attitude has a mediating role in the relationship between managers’ behavior and managers’ intentions to retain older employees in Libyan corporate sector. This finding adds to existing literature by uncovering the mediating effect of managers’ attitude on the relationship between stereotypical belief, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and organizational goals and managers’ intention to retain older employees in corporate sectors. Consequently, it is recommended that focus be given on managers’ attitude in the interventions of managers’ intentions to retaining older employees. The results of the study imply that management should encourage a positive attitude among managers toward older employees. The study concluded that managers’ attitude has an influence on managers’ intention; however, there may be other factors that affect managers’ intention to retain older employees.
