“…Additionally, in a study with unemployed job seekers, Zacher () factor analyzed the 10 OFTP items and identified 3 distinct dimensions: perceived remaining time, focus on opportunities, and focus on limitations. This three‐factor structure is consistent with research in the lifespan developmental literature (Cate & John, ; Rohr, John, Fung, & Lang, ). Specifically, Cate and John () argued that focus on opportunities and focus on limitations are not endpoints on the same underlying dimension, but that individuals can perceive limitations in their remaining lifetime, and also perceiving some remaining opportunities in the future.…”

Occupational future time perspective: A meta‐analysis of antecedents and outcomes

Summary Occupational future time perspective (OFTP) refers to employees' perceptions of their future in the employment context. Based on lifespan and organizational psychology theories, we review research on OFTP and offer a meta‐analysis of antecedents and outcomes of OFTP (K = 40 independent samples, N = 19,112 workers). Results show that OFTP is associated with individual characteristics and personal resources, including age (ρ = −0.55), job tenure (ρ = −0.23), organizational tenure (ρ = −0.25), educational level (ρ = 0.16), and self‐rated physical health (ρ = 0.16), as well as job characteristics, such as job autonomy (ρ = 0.22). Moreover, OFTP is related to important work outcomes, including job satisfaction (ρ = 0.28), organizational commitment (ρ = 0.41), work engagement (ρ = 0.22), retirement intentions (ρ = −0.37), and work continuance intentions (ρ = 0.16). OFTP is also related to task (ρ = 0.11) and contextual performance (ρ = 0.20). Additional analyses show that OFTP predicts job attitudes and work performance above and beyond the effects of another developmental regulation construct, selection, optimization, and compensation strategies. Overall, the findings of our meta‐analysis suggest that OFTP is an important construct in the context of an aging workforce.

“…Sample items are "My future seems infinite to me," "I have the sense that time is running out," and "Many opportunities await me in the future." There is a debate on whether FTPS captures a one-factorial or multiple-factorial structure (e.g., Rohr et al, 2017). The one-factorial structure (Carstensen & Lang, 1996) was adopted in the current study.…”

Background and Objectives Information-seeking (IS) and emotion-regulatory (ER) motivation play meaningful roles in age-related changes in social interaction across adulthood. This study aimed to develop and validate the Social Motivation Questionnaire (SMQ) to assess these two types of motivation. Research Design and Methods Ten items were selected from a pool as the candidate items of SMQ and were administered to 480 German adults (20–91 years old) for validation. These items were also administered to 150 U.S. (18–40 years old) and 131 Hong Kong younger adults (18 to 26 years old) for cultural-invariance examination. Results Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that a two-factor, eight-item structure fits the German adults’ data well with satisfactory reliability. Multigroup comparisons showed cross-age invariance among younger, middle-aged, and older German adults, as well as cross-cultural invariance among German, U.S., and Hong Kong younger adults. Discussion and Implications A new questionnaire, SMQ, was developed and validated to measure IS and ER social motivation across adulthood and across cultures.
