Abstract

While the population of Europe is rapidly aging, extended working life has been increasingly promoted. However, a fair amount of older workers prefer to retire early. The question is, whether we know enough about what makes people want to retire as soon as they can. Research on the relationship between the quality of work and retirement intentions has received significant attention but delivered ambiguous results, which may mean that the relationship between retirement intentions and the quality of work is more complex, i.e. moderated by other constructs. Therefore, using data obtained from the seventh wave of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), we assess the relationship of the retirement intentions with the quality of work, and personality traits. In addition, we investigate whether personality traits moderate the relationship between retirement intentions and the quality of work. We found that physical demands, psychosocial demands, social support at work, control, and reward predict retirement intentions. Neuroticism, extraversion, and agreeableness predict retirement intentions too. The relationship between the quality of work and retirement intentions is not moderated by personality traits.

退休意向:与工作质量和人格特质有关

在欧洲人口迅速老龄化的同时，延长工作寿命也越来越受到推崇。然而，相当数量的老员工更喜欢提前退休。问题是，我们是否足够了解是什么让人们想要尽快退休。关于工作质量与退休意愿之间关系的研究受到了极大的关注，但结果却不明确，这可能意味着退休意愿与工作质量之间的关系更为复杂，即受到其他构念的调节。因此，我们使用从欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查(SHARE)第七波获得的数据，评估了退休意愿与工作质量和人格特征的关系。此外，我们还探讨了人格特质是否会调节退休意向与工作质量之间的关系。我们发现身体需求、社会心理需求、工作中的社会支持、控制和奖励可以预测退休意愿。神经质、外向性和亲和性也能预测退休意向。工作质量与退休意向之间的关系不受人格特质的调节。
