Adams, Gary A.; Prescher, Julie; Beehr, Terry A.; Lepisto, Lawrence
International Journal of Aging and Human Development, v54 n2 p125-137 2002
This study examined the relationships between work-role attachment variables (job involvement, affective organizational commitment, and career identification) and intention to retire. Results indicated that organizational commitment was negatively related to retirement intent. Contrary to expectations, job involvement displayed a positive relationship and career identification had no relationship to retirement intent. (Contains 2 tables.)
