Motivational Drivers of Temporal Dynamics in Postretirement Work.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Many retirees continue to work in retirement, but the temporal dynamics of this process are not well understood. This article examined the extent to which retirees increase, decrease, and exit their work engagement over time. We hypothesized that different motives for postretirement work-financial, social, personal, and organizational-have differential affects on changes in work extent.

Methods

We analyzed 7 waves of the HEalth, Aging and Retirement Transitions in Sweden study (n = 3,123). Postretirement work was defined as working for pay while receiving pension benefits. Changes in work extent were estimated with multistate models and examined in relation to the 4 motives.

Results

Results showed a gradual decrease in work extent following retirement. Fina
