Post-Retirement Employment Among Nurses: A Case of Planned Behavior

  • Description:
    The nursing occupation has been struggling with labor shortage for a long time. What's worse, recent aging trend further exaggerated this problem. Post-retirement employment (PRE), which refers to labor force participation during retirement, is a promising strategy to be considered. Actually, PRE is becoming common among current retiree population and has important benefits for individual older workers, employers, and organizations. Previous studies mainly focused on general demographic characteristics, job-related variables, and family-related variables. They failed to examine the roles played by specific factors that are particularly important in the context of an increasingly aging workforce. As people grow older, they will experience age-related changes in physical and cognitive functions, time perspective, as well as motivational strivings. Likewise, the aging workforce leads to new challenges for many organizations, such as designing better jobs for older workers, adjusting human resource practices for older workers' needs, promoting intergenerational communication, and preventing age discrimination. What are the influences of these age-related changes on older workers' intention to engage in PRE? Prior research has failed to systematically examine these age-related changes as potential antecedents of older workers' intention to engage in PRE. Additionally, aging-related changes in the family sphere, such as family caregiving issue and spousal expectations and support, are also important. A fuller examination of older workers' intention to engage in PRE must consider the effects of older workers' family-related variables. Based on the above consideration, the present research will examine the effects of aging-relevant person-related (e.g., motivations), job-related (e.g., physical demands), organization-related (e.g., opportunities for generativity, age discrimination), and family-related factors (e.g., family caregiving demands, spousal expectation and support) on older nurses' intention to engage in PRE (e.g., bridg employment). Furthermore, nurse incivlity, as a specific nursing occupation-related factor, will also be examined. Findings of this research will provide implications for organizations and policy-makers to retain older, skilled nurses. This study will survey consenting nurses above 50 years old by valid measures on antecedents and outcome variables. Proposed hypotheses will be tested through the quantative data collected in this project. [Description provided by NIOSH]
