Adjusting work life and encouraging older employees to continue at work has become a common challenge as the workforce ages. Gender differences in retirement decisions have largely been overlooked in previous studies, despite the fact that retirement as a life course event and the experience of retirement can be gender dependent.
To explore which personal and work-related psychological factors predict early retirement intentions among older women and men and to investigate the stability of these predictors through use of longitudinal data.
This research is based on an 11-year follow-up study of ageing Finnish municipal employees. Data on 1101 employees' early retirement intentions were analysed with binary logistic regression analysis in separate longitudinal and cross-sectional models.
Gender differences in early retirement intentions were detected both at baseline and at follow-up. Negative perceptions about work and low work and general life satisfaction were associated with early retirement intentions among women. For men, good self-rated work ability and perceived good health were negatively associated with early retirement intentions. In addition, negative perceptions about work predicted early retirement intentions among men.
Adverse work- or health-related factors detected in middle age predicted subsequent early retirement intentions.
随着劳动力年龄的增长，调整工作生活并鼓励老年员工继续工作已成为一个普遍的挑战。尽管退休作为一个生命历程事件和退休经历可能取决于性别，但在以前的研究中，退休决策中的性别差异在很大程度上被忽视了。
探讨哪些个人和与工作相关的心理因素预测老年女性和男性的提前退休意愿，并通过使用纵向数据来研究这些预测因素的稳定性。
本研究基于对芬兰市立员工衰老的 11 年随访研究。使用二元逻辑回归分析分别在纵向和横向模型中分析了 1101 名员工提前退休意愿的数据。
在基线和随访时都发现了提前退休意愿的性别差异。对工作的负面看法以及工作和一般生活满意度低与女性的提前退休意愿有关。对于男性，自我评估的工作能力良好和身体健康状况良好与提前退休意愿呈负相关。此外，对工作的负面看法也预示着男性提前退休的意愿。
中年时期发现的与工作或健康相关的不利因素预测了随后的提前退休意愿。
