Successful Aging at Work: Annual Review, 1992–1996: The Older Worker and Transitions to Retirement

On the relationships among work characteristics and learning‐related behavior: Does age matter?

“…Furthermore, older workers (who see retirement approaching quicker than middle-aged workers) may take a reduced time perspective, resulting in motivational consequences like a lower motivation to learn (Carstensen & Charles, 1998). Similarly, Hansson, DeKoekkoek, Neece, and Patterson (1997) showed that the accomplishment of one's late career goals can result in detachment from the career and in pursuing new learning activities that are less career-related. A final explanation is the differential treatment in the work environment of middle-aged versus younger and older workers.…”

Older Workers, Occupational Stress and Safety

“…A majority of studies show that older workers have fewer non-fatal injuries than younger workers (Hansson, DeKoekkoek, Neece, & Patterson, 1997;Ng & Feldman, 2(08). A recent qualitative review suggests that this relationship is curvilinear (Grosch & Pransky, 2009).…”

Factors Affecting Prolonged Working Life for the Older Workforce: the Swedish Case

“…It is important to identify these factors, as they may serve as controls in a study of the significance of the work situation for retirement, or they may interact with work-related factors. According to previous studies, several factors appear to be important at the personal level (Hansson et al, 1997;Shultz & Wang, 2007). One decisive factor is the financial status of the individual (Quinn et al, 1990;Szinovacz & Davey, 2005).…”

“…The labor market attachment of the spouse is of particular importance, as are caring responsibilities (Henkens, 1999;Henkens & Tazelaar, 1997;Henkens & Van Solinge, 2002;Szinovacz & DeViney, 2000;Szinovacz et al, 2001). It is worth noting that different gender patterns seem to exist in this regard: men tend to stay in work if the spouse suffers from poor health, while the opposite applies to women (Hansson et al, 1997).…”
