Deze studie heeft als doel de relaties te onderzoeken tussen werkgerelateerde temporele focus (d.w.z. gerichtheid Inleiding IntroductieIn Nederland ligt de gemiddelde pensioenleeftijd anno 2011 op 63 jaar (CBS, 2012). Dit betekent dat er nog steeds sprake is van een tendens om met vervroegd pensioen te gaan, dat wil zeggen, reeds voor de pensioengerechtigde leeftijd. In de Nationale Enquête Arbeidsomstandigheden (NEA) wordt sinds 2008 ook gevraagd of werknemers na hun 65ste willen blijven doorwerken. In 2010 gold dit slechts voor een kleine minderheid van de werknemers van 45 tot en met 64 jaar (15%) (Koppes, De Vroome, Mol, Janssen & Van den Bossche, 2011). Om het pensioenstelsel betaalbaar te kunnen houden, productiekracht te behouden en verlies van waardevolle kennis en ervaring door de uittreding van de babyboomgeneratie (het cohort dat geboren is tussen 1946-1964) tegen te gaan, moeten oudere werknemers tegenwoordig echter langer doorwerken dan hun 65ste (De Lange, Ybema & Schalk, 2011;Frins, Van Ruysseveldt & Syroit, 2011). Zo is het AOW-pensioen aangepast aan de stijgende levensverwachting (Rijksoverheid, 2011) Dit artikel van Boom Lemma Tijdschriften is gemaakt voor 65924
Goal orientations and temporal focus of older workers: What is the relation with retirement intentions? Goal orientations and temporal focus of older workers: What is the relation with retirement intentions? The aim of this study was to increase our insight into what motivates older employees to stay active on the labour market. For this we examined if and how the temporal focus of older workers is related to retirement intentions. It was assumed that mastery goal orientations (approach and avoidance) would mediate this relationship. 548 employees participated in the research. Our results showed that past focus was positively related to mastery avoidance goals whereas future focus was positively related to mastery approach goals. Moreover, mastery approach goals were positively related to retirement intentions and mastery avoidance goals were negatively related to retirement intentions. The conclusion is that the stimulation of a future focus as well as a mastery approach orientation play important roles in motivating older employees to work until retirement age.
