本文探讨了工作场所的灵活性安排和退休预期之间的因果关系。这些数据来自一个独特的大规模随机分配的时间和地点管理（TPM）计划，该计划最近在美国一个拥有9，000多名员工的区域医疗系统中进行。差异中的差异的方法被用来评估治疗的影响，在老年全职职业雇员和比较与全国代表性的老年美国人组的健康和退休研究（HRS）。我们发现的证据表明，TPM倡议对员工的退休期望有统计学上的显着影响;治疗组的员工比对照组的员工更有可能期望留在组织直到退休，尽管治疗的影响在研究结束时有所消散。研究结果表明，工作场所的灵活性可能是一个解决方案，以促进在以后的生活中继续工作，因为灵活的工作安排有可能影响退休的预期和劳动力退出的模式。
This article examines the causal relationship between a workplace flexibility arrangement and retirement expectations. The data come from a unique large-scale randomly assigned time and place management (TPM) initiative that recently took place at a regional healthcare system in the United States with more than 9,000 employees. A difference-in-differences approach was used to assess treatment impacts among older full-time career employees and comparisons were made with a nationally representative group of older Americans from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS). We found evidence that the TPM initiative had a statistically significant impact on employees' retirement expectations; employees in the treatment group were more likely than those in the control group to expect to remain with the organization until retirement, though treatment impacts dissipated somewhat toward the end of the study. The results indicate that workplace flexibility could be one solution to promote continued work later in life, as flexible work arrangements have the potential to impact retirement expectations and patterns of labor force withdrawal.
