A Study of Perceived Need Fulfillment and Life Satisfaction Before and After Retirement

Wexley, Kenneth N.; And Others

Journal of Vocational Behavior, 7, 1, 81-87, Aug 75

Results suggest that the period of four to seven years before retirement may be a critical time to institute retirement planning programs. (Author)
