Based on recent findings that post-retirement adjustment may be influenced by the conditions leading up to the decision to retire, we examine the impact of individual agency in the retirement decision on problematic drinking behavior, as well as the extent to which such an effect may itself depend upon the valence of the pre-retirement work experience. Using a sample of 304 blue-collar retirees, our findings indicate that, when controlling for pre-retirement drinking behavior, perceptions of retirement as the result of a more forced or involuntary decision are associated with greater alcohol consumption, while perceptions of retirement as the result of a more volitional or voluntary process are associated with lower levels of alcohol consumption and a lower risk of problematic drinking behavior. Our results also indicate that pre-retirement job satisfaction amplifies the former relationship, while attenuating the latter one.
基于最近的研究发现，退休后的调整可能会受到退休决定前各种状况的影响，我们考察了退休决定中个人自主性对问题饮酒行为的影响，以及这种影响本身在多大程度上可能取决于退休前工作经历的正负性。通过对304名蓝领退休人员的样本进行研究，我们的发现表明，在控制退休前饮酒行为的情况下，将退休视为更具强迫性或非自愿决定的结果与更高的酒精消费量相关，而将退休视为更具意志性或自愿过程的结果与较低的酒精消费水平和较低的问题饮酒行为风险相关。我们的结果还表明，退休前的工作满意度会增强前一种关系，同时削弱后一种关系。
