Predicting Retirement Upon Eligibility: An Embeddedness Perspective

Abstract: Concern over the impact of baby‐boomers' retirement on needed skills and proprietary knowledge has stimulated an interest in identifying workplace factors associated with retirement upon eligibility. Drawing from embeddedness theory, the authors identify work‐based antecedents potentially underlying a related, but distinct, form of withdrawal—retirement upon eligibility. The authors generate and test hypotheses regarding the impact of fit‐, sacrifice‐, and links‐related antecedents using a prospective study de… Show more

“…As hypothesized, this study demonstrated a negative association between higher preretirement job stress and engaging in any type of bridge employment against full retirement (Bamberger & Bacharach, 2013;Wang & Shi, 2014). While this finding highlights the importance of job-related psychological factors in entering bridge employment in the wage-and-salary form and as self-employed the retirement process, we did not find support for an interaction between pre-retirement employment form and job stress.…”

“…Conversely, greater job autonomy and higher job satisfaction are typically found among those individuals who have long work careers (Moen et al, 2016). Organizational level studies have recently found that the quality of the work experience, such as flexibility and meaningful work, may encourage older workers to remain in their jobs and in the workforce longer, while demanding and rigid work conditions and unaccommodating supervisors may facilitate intentions to retire early (Bamberger & Bacharach, 2013;. Therefore, we expect that older workers who perceive their career job to be more (versus less) stressful will be more likely to withdraw from work completely.…”

“…A variety of factors beyond the control of the employer influences workers’ retirement decisions (Wang & Shultz, 2010). These factors include the employees’ age and gender (Schalk & Desmette, 2015), employees’ own health or that of a close family member (Helman et al., 2008), the retirement of the employee’s spouse (Helman et al., 2008), the employee’s level of education (Von Bonsdorff, Shultz, Leskinen, & Tansky, 2009) and broader economic conditions (which may affect the uncertainty surrounding alternative part-time employment or the employee’s perception of financial security in retirement) (Bamberger & Bacharach, 2014; Purcell, 2009). For example, the global financial crisis had at least a short-term adverse impact on the pension plans of many employees, motivating many to defer retirement.…”

“…Scholars have made significant progress in identifying factors that influence retirement decisions (Bamberger & Bacharach, 2014; Schalk & Desmette, 2015; Wang & Shultz, 2010). For example, studies suggest that individual’s own health, spouse’s health, and overall financial situation play a significant role in determining individuals’ timing of retirement (Shultz & Wang, 2007).…”
