“…the importance of planning in retirement-related decision making, and noted that retirees are said to be motivated in maintaining continuity, and to improve their own satisfaction and well-being by engaging into similar form of work activities before their retirement. As reported by Taylor-Carter, Cook, and Weinberg (1997) an individual who engages in retirement planning tend to report less anxiety and depression about retirement, greater confidence about managing the transition to retirement and better adjustment, satisfaction (Rosenkoetter & Garris, 2001;Spiegel & Shultz, 2003) and well-being once retired (Noone, Stephens, & Alpass, 2009). …”

Retirement forces older workers to disconnect with their previous behavioural patterns and economic position. Transition and adjustment from working life to retirement places great psychological pressure and financial distress on older workers, especially those with dependent children. Bridge employment provides a solution for older workers to continue working after retirement while transitioning into retirement slowly and smoothly. As losing the job role has a significant impact on the psychological well-being of retirees, engaging in bridge employment helps to fulfil the important psychological functions of older workers by providing an adaptive style to retirement. This study investigates the influence of retirement planning and job satisfaction on bridge employment. A self-administered questionnaire was used in this study and a total of 523 samples were collected for nine major districts in Sabah. Data were analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS) method version 2.0. The result showed a significant relationship between retirement planning and job satisfaction on bridge employment, explaining 4.7% the variance in bridge employment and job satisfaction was found to be the strongest predictor of bridge employment.

“…In recent times, improved life expectancy, as well as interest in early retirement, have increased the number of individuals reaching retirement age (2,3). Evidence shows that transitioning to retirement has clear effects on their; routine actions, social relations, family and social roles, self-confidence, and social supports (4). Therefore, retirement is a predictable event in the life stage which is accompanied by changes in financial and social status, and personal communication roles (5).…”

Background: Retirement is a complex social phenomenon and it is an expected part of life stages. Transition to this period is often associated with a loss of life balance and identity issues. The number of retired nurses is increasing and some nurses are experiencing difficulties adjusting to their retirement. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the adjustment process to retirement in Iranian retired nurses. Patients and Methods:In this study, 23 participants were recruited from 2010 to 2011. Data was collected through semistructured interviews with retired nurses in Semnan, Iran. Qualitative data from the transcribed interviews and field notes were analyzed by making constant comparisons and using the grounded theory methodology developed by Strauss and Corbin. Data gathering was discontinued when data saturation was achieved. The adjustment process was explored in retired iranian nurses. Results: During data analysis, five themes emerged: "Identity threat", "Negative interaction", "Identity reconstruction", "Supporting factors"and "Normal life". In addition, the explanatory theory of adjustment to retirement was produced. Conclusions: Retirement is an essential part of the work life cycle. Awareness of the factors that influence adjustment to retirement is vital to facilitate this process and to improve the health of retired health care providers.

“…The same tendency is manifested in this study, which indicates that the more active people are or were in the past, the more future activities they plan to participate in. The stability of leisure behavior throughout the lifespan can be viewed as a strategy assisting people to cope with the changes associated with ageing [19] and provides the ageing person with a way of maintaining internal continuity through external continuity [11]. The high correlations between the past, present, and future activity scores for the overall test, as well as for each domain, also indicate that patterns of activity remain stable throughout life and so lend further support to the continuity motive.…”

“…The concept of "future planning" has been well studied in the gerontology literature of the last two decades and shows that most future planning occurs around retirement age [8][9][10][11]. Retirement involves marked changes within a short period of time and is therefore a significant transition in life requiring a process of planning [8].…”

The Activity Card Sort (ACS) is a widely used measure for assessing participation in instrumental, leisure, and social-cultural activities. The ACS addresses previous and current activities but not future activity plans. The purpose of the study was to extend the ACS to include future planning. Previous research indicates that participation in activities and future planning is positively related to life satisfaction, and increased well-being and that these positive effects were most pronounced for adults 60 years and older. The current study participants were 60 Israeli adults aged 55 -74 years. The research finds future planning to be widespread, common and significant among older adults. Moreover, it was found that older people planned to continue previous activities more that they planned new activities for the future, indicating more continuity than innovation among the participants in this study. Participants with higher current or past activity levels planed a greater number of future activities. Construct validity using known group method showed the extended ACS to have discriminant validity with respect to age (younger participants were more active) and gender (highly physical activities were favored by men). MANOVA repeated measures and Pearson correlations demonstrated moderate-high test-retest reliability for the extended ACS.
