“…It is not simply an objective life course transition, but also a subjective developmental and social-psychological transformation that may be related to psychological well-being (Kim & Moen, 2002). Findings on the repercussions of retirement have been inconclusive: some studies have found that retirement has no significant effect on life satisfaction, while others have shown evidence of a negative impact, with poor health, depression and low life satisfaction (De Grâce, Joshi, Pelletier, & Beaupré, 1994). By contrast, some results have revealed the positive impact of retirement, with retirees being well-adjusted, healthy and experiencing increased well-being (Gall, Evans, & Howard, 1997;Kim & Moen, 2002).…”

Little is known about the motivational forces leading retired individuals to engage in post-retirement activities and how they could be related to satisfaction with retirement. Using the self-determination framework, the purpose of the present exploratory study was to examine the nature of active retirees' motivation and its impact on satisfaction with life in retirement. The Global Motivation Scale and measures of satisfaction with retirement were administered to 150 active retired individuals engaged in organized post-retirement activities in a University-based organization. Results revealed that these individuals were mainly characterized by higher levels of intrinsic motivation for knowledge, stimulation and accomplishment, rather than extrinsic dimensions. Regression analysis further demonstrated that intrinsic motivation for both accomplishment and stimulation were positively related to satisfaction with retirement, over and above the significant contribution of time since retirement, anticipated satisfaction with retirement, and subjective health. This exploratory study highlights the motivational mechanisms through which post-retirement behaviors could positively influence satisfaction with life in retirement among active retirees.

“…Findings have been contradictory: Some studies have shown that retirement has no significant impact on life satisfaction (Stull, 1988). Still others highlight the negative impact: retirees reporting poor health, depression, and low life satisfaction (de Gra ˆce, Joshi, Pelletier, & Beaupre ´, 1994). Others, by contrast, support the positive impact: retirees being generally healthy, well-adjusted, and reporting increased well-being (Gall, Evans, & Howard, 1997).…”

The main aim of this study was to assess perceptions of and satisfaction with retirement among 1,686 recently retired people from 6 European Union countries. The authors compared their responses to a set of questions taken from the Retirement Satisfaction Inventory (F. J. Floyd et al., 1992). The first significant result was that Belgian, British, Finnish, French, and Spanish retirees all expressed very similar assessments of life satisfaction, whereas Portuguese retirees expressed a lower level of satisfaction. The 2nd result was that the major determinants of overall satisfaction in the 6 countries were (a) health and resources and (b) anticipated satisfaction. Finally, the data revealed that cultural background only accounted for a limited amount of variance in overall satisfaction with retirement.

“…Les recherches concernant l'impact de la retraite sur le bien-etre obtiennent des resultats contradictoires. Certains auteurs observent une diminution du bien-etre: maladie, depression, solitude, difficultes emotionnelles et attitude negative (Atchley, 1994;Atchley & Robinson, 1982;de Grace, Joshi, Pelletier, & Beaupre, 1994;Ekerdt, Bosse, & Levkoff, 1985;Richardson, 1993;Richardson & Kilty, 1991;Shapiro & Roos, 1982). Par contre, pour d'autres, il y a peu d'indices apparents d'une diminution du bien-etre des gens a la retraite (Bosse, Aldwin, Levenson, & Workman-Daniel, 1991;George, Fillenbaum, & Palmore, 1984;Stull, 1988).…”

AbstractThis research was interested in personal goals during retirement and especially in the influence of tenacity and flexibility on measures of psychological well-being. The participants (N = 147) were retired for less than 3 years and aged between 49 and 75 years (M = 58 years). The subjects had to identify four personal goals and rate each of them along 15 dimensions. The psychological well-being was evaluated with scales of depression, self-esteem and life satisfaction. Regression analyses showed that flexibility in the presence of hindered goals accounts for 44 % of the variance in depression, 29 % oflife satisfaction and 25 % of self-esteem. Tenacity had a more modest impact. Flexibility seems to be a coping strategy which is most useful to face difficulties in the pursuit of goals during retirement.
