“…The predictors we found are generally in line with previous research. Younger age was a predictor of having paid work, which is in line with previous findings in studies on (early) retirement [29,35]. Working more hours per week at baseline was associated with having paid work at follow-up as well.…”

“…The relation between having high physical work demands at baseline and having paid work at follow-up was found to be significantly different between the groups of workers with and without chronic disease. Previous studies on workers in general have shown that high physical workload was associated with early retirement [28,29]. In a study in workers suffering from various chronic diseases, physical workload was associated with exit from the workforce because of work disability [30].…”

“…Previous research has shown that workers' feelings of mastery increase with levels of job control [41]. Although there are no studies on mastery and having paid work or early retirement, a number of studies have shown that low job control or autonomy in work are associated with (early) retirement [29,35,36].…”

Background As the prevalence of chronic disease amongst older workers is high and increasing, it is important to know if the large subgroup of older workers with chronic disease has specific needs when it comes to prolonging participation in paid work. Objectives To investigate differences and similarities in predictors of having paid work in workers aged 55? with and without chronic disease. Methods Workers aged 55-62 years were selected from the 2002-2003 cohort of the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (n = 333). Potential predictors were: health, personality, work characteristics, and demographics. Per potential predictor, a logistic regression coefficient for 'having paid work in 2005-2006' was calculated for workers with and without chronic disease. A pooled estimate was computed and differences between the pooled estimate and the coefficients were tested. Results Follow-up data were available for 95 %, of whom 67 % still had paid work. Predictors of having paid work were similar for workers with and without chronic diseases, except for physical workload (v 2 = 5.37; DF = 1) and psychosocial resources at work (v 2 = 5.94; DF = 1). Having more psychosocial resources (OR = 3.57; 95 %CI 1.33-10.0) was predictive for having paid work in workers with chronic disease and not in workers without chronic disease. Lower age, more weekly working hours, no functional limitations, fewer depressive symptoms, lower neuroticism scores, and more sense of mastery were significantly associated with having paid work in all workers. Conclusions Differences between predictors of having paid work between workers with and without chronic disease should be taken into account when aiming to prevent exit from the workforce. In particular the vulnerable subgroup of older workers with chronic disease and low psychosocial resources at work is more likely to quit working.

“…A significant relationship between work-status and work satisfaction was expected, as previous studies have found that early retirement is related to working conditions, which can be assumed to be related to work satisfaction. Lund and Villadsen (2004) have found that high conflict in work and uncomfortable work positions increases the risk for early retirement and also monotonous work-environments, with exposure to chemicals, hard physical demands and stressful environments, have been shown to increase the risk for early retirement (Kilbom et al 1994).…”

“…Solem (1997) found that a low professional training was related to an early exit from work and Lund and Villadsen (2004) have found a relationship between low socioeconomic status, as well as low skill discretion and early retirement. Thus, the power of the measurements of education and economy in the present study could be questioned.…”

The tendency to leave work before the formal pension age is reached has increased in most OECDcountries. The societal economical consequences of these circumstances are worrying and knowledge about the mechanisms behind this trend is urgent. Previous research has focused on the role of pension rules, work environments, health and education. In this study, it was investigated if there are differences in personality and in leisure lifestyle between individuals who have retired at the age of 60 and individuals who still work at the same age. The effects of health, work satisfaction, education level and household economy were taken into account. The sample was drawn from the SNAC-Blekinge database and the participants were 184 randomly selected individuals aged 60 years. The variables were measured using standardised questionnaire data. The results show that early retirement due to health problems was negatively related to visiting museums and art expositions and positively related to number of symptoms of disease. Retirement due to other reasons than disability was negatively related to reading books and to number of symptoms. The study suggests there is a possible stressreducing effect of participation in cultural/intellectual activities. This effect may strengthen the ability and motivation to continue working at the age of 60 years old.

Human Resource Approaches to Retirement: Gatekeeping, Improvising, Orchestrating, and Partnering

This qualitative study examines the patterns in human resource (HR) approaches to retirement across 24 organizations to explore innovative practices as well as gain understanding of the differences in how firms are dealing with major changes surrounding retirement and workforce demographics. Using organizational adaptation theory and carrying out a thorough analysis of in‐depth interviews with HR managers, we identify three dimensions that differentiate organizations’ approaches to retirement: (1) actions and interactions of key stakeholders in the retirement process; (2) HR information gathering focus regarding workforce issues; and (3) HR posture around changes needed in retirement policies and practices. Based on organizational profiles on these dimensions, four distinct approaches to retirement emerge and are described in some detail: gatekeeping, improvising, orchestrating, and partnering. These different approaches also provide insight into how organizations differ in their adaptation to change. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
