Book excerpt: With the long-term trend toward earlier retirement slowing, and the majority of older workers remaining in employment up to and beyond statutory retirement age, it is increasingly important that we understand how to react to these changes. Bridge employment patterns and activities have changed greatly over the past decade, yet there is little information about the benefits of the various different forms this can take, both for employees and employers. This comparative international collection provides the first comprehensive summary of the literature on bridge employment, bringing together experiences from Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan. It identifies the opportunities, barriers and gaps in knowledge and practice, whilst offering recommendations on how organisations and individuals can cope with future challenges in aging and work. Written by international experts in the field, each chapter also makes substantive and contextualized suggestions for public policy and organizational decision-makers, providing them with a roadmap to implement and integrate bridge employment into policies and practices designed to prolong working life - a priority for workers, organizations and societies in the coming decades. This unique research handbook will be useful to a wide range of readers with an interest in the new concept of bridge employment and the extension of working life, and of interest to researchers and practitioners in organizational behavior, labor market analysis, human resource management, career development/counselling, occupational health, social economy and public policy administration

Book excerpt: There is a growing tendency among present day retirees to engage in bridge jobs before their final exit from the labour force; however, few studies examine the bridge employment experience from the perspective of the employees themselves. Although there is ample literature addressing the factors that contribute to the growth of bridge employment, minimal academic attention has been directed towards understanding the needs and expectations of actual bridge employees. This gap in literature needs to be addressed in order to design a workplace suited for the needs and abilities of this matured workforce. I conducted a mixed methods study among bridge employees to fulfill this gap and shed light on how workplaces can be more accommodative to yield the best potential of this employment arrangement. In my first study, an online survey of 195 bridge employees, I found that people who engaged in nonstandard work had better life and work satisfaction. Additionally, bridge employees' perception of the fulfillment of the psychological contract by their organizations is associated with positive impacts on their satisfaction with life, marital adjustment quality, and key job attitudes. In my second study, I conducted in-depth interviews with 26 bridge employees. I found that there is an association between retirees' motives for taking on bridge jobs and their expectations from these jobs. More specifically, bridge employees who were highly cognizant of life's limitations, both in terms quality of life as one ages and of life span in general, ensured bridge jobs complemented their other priorities in life. Their expectations and satisfaction in bridge jobs largely depended on relationships with co-workers and on bridge employees' perceptions of organizational policy. Bridge employees who did not express the realization that life is limited, seemed to approach bridge jobs as a new phase of their career, and expected organizations to create opportunities for their skills to be utilized. Utilizing the frameworks of psychological contract theory and socioemotional selectivity theory, my study provides important directions for successful recruitment and retention of bridge employees as well as for creating a supportive work environment for them.

Book excerpt: The present study examined the relationship between bridge employment and retirees' health outcomes (i.e., major diseases, functional limitations, and mental health). We used a nationally representative sample of 12,189 retirees from the first 4 waves of the Health and Retirement Study. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that compared with full retirement, engaging in bridge employment either in a career field or in a different field was associated with fewer major diseases and functional limitations, whereas engaging in career bridge employment was associated with better mental health. The findings highlight the health benefits of engaging in bridge employment for retirees. The practical implications of this study are discussed at both the individual and policy levels. Limitations of the current findings are also noted in conjunction with future research directions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of the series, Maintaining Focus, Energy, and Options Over the Career, examines how individuals enact and keep their career vital over their work life. Awarding-winning, internationally renowned researchers, including Daniel Feldman, Jennifer Deal, Phyllis Tharenou, and Terry Beehr examine the dynamic nature of contemporary careers and how careers change as individuals change in response to such factors as aging, learning, experience or contextual changes. Volume 1 includes theoretical perspectives on maintaining person-environment “fit” over the course of the career, the shifting constellation of developmental relationships over time and place, a new framework for examining midcareer renewal, a reconceptualization of the retirement transition, and potential gender differences in self-initiated international careers. Empirical studies in volume 1 examine provocative questions including: Is the traditional career really dead? Are there significant generational differences in learning and development? Can career plateauing be positive for the individual or the organization? The focus throughout this volume is on how careers unfold over time and how individuals remain productive and successful as they navigate career changes.

Download or read book To BE Or Not to BE? Inequities in Bridge Employment (BE) Characteristics and Mental Health Among Older Workers - A Systematic Review and a Longitudinal Study written by XiaoYu Gong and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bridge employment (BE), generally defined as working for pay after having "fully" retired or first reducing the number of hours worked, then retiring, is perceived as a solution to the challenges faced by aging societies (OECD, 2006; Smaliukiene & Tvaronaviciene, 2014). The OECD and governments of developed countries recognize that working in old age can help older workers remain financially independent and socially engaged (Kim & Feldman, 2000; OECD, 2006). However, despite the purported benefit of working in BE and the increase in participation in BE, empirical studies show that working in BE is not always positively or significantly associated with better mental health. Until this point, the literature on BE and mental health has been mostly focused on the mental health consequences, without further qualifying BE in terms of employment characteristics. Thus, this thesis draws from the sociology of work and labour economic theories and the health and employment literature to disentangle the nuanced conditions under which BE is associated with mental health outcomes.The first empirical chapter is a systematic review of all the studies that have examined the mental health consequences of BE participation by using repeatable and transparent review process that emphasizes the assessment of study quality. The systematic review results demonstrate that the conceptualization of BE is an important factor in influencing mental health outcomes. When BE is conceptualized based on participation, the association between BE and mental health is not significant. However, when BE participation occurs on a voluntary basis (Calvo et al., 2009; Dingemans & Henkens, 2014) and is with the same employer, or within the same occupation (Wang, 2007), BE is associated with better mental health outcomes compared to full retirement (Zhan et al., 2009). The results suggest that there may be a selection effect at play and more nuanced definitions of BE should be employed. Heeding this suggestion, the second and third empirical chapters study the variation in work conditions among those working in BE as well as the various selection processes at play in terms of who engages in what type of BE. These chapters use data from the Health and Retirement Survey from the United States, a nationally longitudinal dataset of older people conducted between 1994 and 2014 inclusively. The analytic sample includes 7967 respondents who stayed in the survey for six to ten years after initial retirement. The second empirical chapter examines how working in BE, in stressful and non-stressful BE, in physically demanding and non-physically demanding BE, and in precarious and less precarious BE are associated with mental health outcomes compared to full retirement. The fixed-effects model automatically controlled for all time-constant factors within the individual. The results show that working in BE in general, in non-stressful BE, in non-physically demanding BE and in less precarious BE are associated with improvements in mental health. Also, the results show that compared to being fully retired, working in stressful BE, physically demanding BE and more precarious BE transitions are not necessarily associated with worse mental health. The third empirical chapter focuses on selection effects to examine how pre-retirement factors are associated with people's participation in BE. The results show that having higher education, better health, and higher income increases people's likelihood of working in BE. This suggests that working in BE (relative to retirement) may be associated with better mental health because of favorable preexisting characteristics. Furthermore, there is strong evidence for path dependency or a life course effect in terms of the quality of BE employment. Financial debt and macroeconomic conditions also complicates the motivation and limitations of BE participation"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the aging workforce from the employment relationship perspective. This innovative book specifically focuses on how organizations can ensure their aging workers remain motivated, productive and healthy. In 15 chapters, several experts on this topic describe how organizations through effective human resource management can ensure that workers are able to continue working at higher age. In addition, this book discusses the role older workers themselves play in continuing work at higher age. To do this, the authors integrate research from different areas, such as literature on leadership, psychological contracts and diversity with literature on the aging workforce. Through this integration this book provides innovative ways for organizations and workers to maintain productivity, motivation and health. Aging Workers and the Employee-Employer Relationship summarizes the latest research on how employment relationships change with age and its implications for supporting the well-being, motivation and productivity of older workers. It identifies ways to improve how both companies and workers solve the problems they face. These include better designed employment practices and more adaptive job content and developmental opportunities for aging workers along with activities aging workers can engage to enhance their own job crafting, learning and employability.

Download or read book Heavy Work Investment written by Itzhak Harpaz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-17 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with the concept of Heavy Work Investment (HWI) recently initiated by Snir and Harpaz. Since its introduction the interest in the general HWI model has increased considerably. The book illustrates the development of HWI conceptualization, theory, and research. It deals with the foremost HWI subtype of workaholism. However, it also compares workaholism as a "negative" HWI subtype with work devotion/passion/engagement, as a "positive" HWI subtype. Most importantly, it addresses HWI in general, including its possible situational subtypes. In view of Snir and Harpaz's claim that the study of situational heavy work investors is relatively scarce, this certainly constitutes a promising step in the right direction. Finally, it deals with timely and important topics examined by prominent international researchers on Heavy Work Investment and such issues as: personality factors of workaholism, work-life balance, cross-cultural similarities and differences in HWI, work addiction and technology, HWI and retirement, and intergenerational similarity in work investment.

Book excerpt: Bridge employment is the labor force participation pattern increasingly observed in older workers between their career jobs and their complete labor force withdrawal. It serves as a transition process from career employment to full retirement. Typical bridge employment decisions include full retirement, career bridge employment, and bridge employment in a different field. In the current study, 3 dominant theories (i.e., role theory, continuity theory, and life course perspective) on retirement processes were reviewed. On the basis of these theories, the authors proposed 4 categories of antecedents (i.e., individual attributes, job-related psychological variables, family-related variables, and a retirement-planning-related variable) of different types of bridge employment decisions. The authors used longitudinal data of a large, nationally representative sample from the Health and Retirement Study (F. Juster & R. Suzman, 1995) to test the current hypotheses. These data were analyzed with multinomial logistic regression, and most of the hypotheses were supported by the results. The implications of this study are discussed at both theoretical and practical levels.
