Attitudes toward pre‐retirement counselling: A path model
通过对250名老年男性工人的结构化访谈，用路径分析发现，退休后继续工作的意愿会显著降低对退休前咨询的接受度，且对退休的好感与继续工作意愿之间存在意外正相关，凸显了工作导向的主导作用。
Abstract In structured interviews with 250 older male workers, respondents were asked whether they wished to participate in a proposed pre‐retirement counselling programme. The effect of six independent variables on the workers' Attitude toward Pre‐Retirement Counselling (dependent variable) was examined by means of a path analysis. Intention to Continue Working after Retirement had a significant negative effect on the dependent variable, indicating that a strong work orientation interfered with receptiveness to pre‐retirement counselling. An unexpected relationship was observed between a favourable perception of retirement and the intention to continue working. This finding emphasized the dominance of the work orientation and workers' lack of awareness of alternative social roles. Implications for retirement planning programmes were discussed.
